half what Il was last ye-r. ID the sntire lake
region Of the country, vfstcr wheat i., a,
might have been expected from Ire unusual
severity Of the winter, almos, total failure I;
other crops have also been severely injured By
the late spring. There is every reason 10 be-
Iieve that with the exception Of the fruit crops,
all Others will be very short, the deficiency
being especially heavy, in cerial.. In fact,
1873 will probably be the worst year We have
had since the beginning Of the war. In the
Southern States the wheat crop is already be-
ing harvested, as far north ne the Shenandoah
Valley. In some cases Il has been very fair,
but, by the time the great belt Of the Central
States b reached, Il l. believed that the falling
Of Of the crop viii be such a. will astoni-h
the country, and sncc, the financial situation.
FARxISs.
II has been fully demonstrated by the ex-
perience Of the farm and the bake-.hop, that
the best time 10 cut grain Is when the straw
begins to turn yellow and slso proven that
the grain In process Of ripening becomes more
full, shcltercd from the heat Of the s1n, In the
interior Of the shock than stretched in the
swath, therefore, the sheavcs Of wheat should
be gathered into shocks without delay after
the grain Is cut.
