Hungary have hitherto been relied upon By
both France aud England to make up dei-

THE CEop PRospEcr the gratifying
information has been ohtgincd from the
Department of Agricultural sta'i,tjca that
the aggregate crop of wheat in The United
States dis year is larger than in 1872, and
! THAT The quality is generally superior. The
details OF the yrospeo; ia different actions
will prove interesting both to the people
Of these sections and to the merchants, who
viii know where they can best make pur-
chase but the fact abaVe stated Gs Ia the
general prospect, will interest The whole
country. The yield por acre is abou; che
same on the whole as last year, bat the sreo
under cultivation is much l,rger. This, Of
course, will furnish greater supply for the
market IL the cultivation and quality Of
the crop in Minnesota, Wiscousin, Missou-
ri, Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey there is decided Improvement. IL
lin0is, Iowa, and Michigan VII have an
average yield. California and Indiana are
less flvored The Southern Safes fail Of
making an average crop. Thnt is 20 Ja &C
counted for, probably, by more Of the soii
and labor being devoted TO growing cotton.
I The Department makes a very useful re-
mark that where the grain j. da;erioratel
or deficient in yield il ia owing generally 20
oareloss bu'bandry, and that the records of
skillui culture show that, 10 many cases,
tLat the yield has been dlubla. Education
in farming, then, brings Us reward. T.
view # the short crops 10 Europe and the
demand there will be for our breads'uffs
the financial difficulties Of the country are
likely to fnd relief from our agricultural
prospects and resources.-N. J. L{eruR
