SPRING CROP OUTLOoK.-A farmer, after
travelling over asternPennsylvania,re ,remarked
that the wheat and rye never looked better at
this season of the year, and that IL nothing of
damaging character occurs there will be an
abundant crop.
lie noticed during the whole of this winter,
that when the ground was not covered with
snow the grass looked green and had not that
lead brown color which indicated severe co ID
weather. 1t was so with the wheat and rye
also, and this is assuring that the crops will Be
abundant. OF fruit We cannot yet speak with
certainty. The apple and peach buds are
safe, but IL mild weather continue they may be
advanced far enough to be endanrered by
spring frosts.
