engaged in agriculture, VIII" have been
travelling in central, western, south
western, and northern Ohio, make much
more favorable report on the crops than
have been sent out by the Agricultural
Department. The drought still c"ntn-
ues to some extent, but wheat and rye are
already well up, and they are looking
well in Union, Marion and Del
aware counties, aud eastward to-
ward the river. There is very little
corn; but in the other sections mentioned
the prospect is one of abundance. The
average is greater than last year. and
though the per ccntage of bushels Is les
To- the acre, the corn j. very solid and
will weigh well. The dry weather has
maturcd the crop, and the fodder has
been entirely secured. The improved
corn returns, and the high prices of hogs
are resulting in an increased feeding, thus
promising greater numhrr"i pounds "i
pork than had been calculated on.
