with the exception Of wheat all crops
promise 10 be above an average,
From Kansas our ndvices Indicate
that those places which have escaped
the grasshopper plauge, VIII yield the
most b0untiliil harvest since the settle
ment Of the country.
Illinois, IL IN well known, IL fnialnly
dev oied 10 raising wheat, oats, and
corn. From Il few counties we have
reports Of fruit, but not many, and
those we have state the crop except
apples, does not promise well A few
complain that wheat suffered from
cold and rain In the spring, but on the
whole the promise Is u large yield, taxi
Ing the entire State Into the account
Corn looks remarkably well, though NO
much has been planted that farmers
have not been able In all cases to keep
10 properly worked. Oats are harvested
and the crop In unusually fine, Taking
the average of the twenty-five counties
reported, the grain crops will he proba'
bly, far IN advance Of either last year
or the year before,
From Missouri we havea good many
reports Of u short crop of wheat,
though better than last year. Some
counties in the southern part of the
State report the wheat crop very good,
hut the general tone Of reports IL not
flattering. Corn, however, should the
remainder OF the season prove favora-
BILE, will he the largest Of any for ten
years past; and wheat will be at lie asst
two-thirds ola crop. Oats, grass, to-
bacco, and every other crop except
fruit are looking very fine, and with
good weather viii without doubt, yield
very largely.
From Mississippi we have reports
from twelve counties, all of which
leave u small increase IN the area I'M
der cotton, and In every case the con-
dition is reported very fine, and the
prospects never better. The area un-
der grain is largely increased, and in q
few places that under sugar-cane Ii also
increased. The reports are very fiat
tering More grain grown than any
year since the war, and farmers are
feeling happy.
Our advices from Minnesota are en-
tirely respecting grain, and chiefly
wheat and corn. Only one county,
Nic0let, reports serious damage by
grasshoppers; IN some others there has
been slight injury. From every point
except those indicated above, the re-
ports are--the condition of the grow
ing crops was never better, and the
prospects are Large crops of good
quality The area under cultivation
has been increased about ten per cent.
From Tennessee we have advices
that the area under cultivation has
been largely increased, The fruit crop
Is almost failure, but cereals are bet
ter than any year for the last ten or
more. Wheat and oats are harvested;
part of the wheat thrashed out and
marketed; the grain good and yield
large.
Our Alabama advices may he
summed up as follows: The farmers
aud planters have used more economy
and judgment this year than usual,
and the l0borers have worked better
and been more constantly engaged
Few have obtained advances or given
mortgages on their crops. Prospects
are the quality will be better, as there
Is better manat ement, and the guam
tity greater, ~ Detter working. The
area under cultivation IN cotton is in
creased moderately, and that in grain
very largely. The people begin to rely
less on an exclusive crop policy, and
are looking to system of diversified
crops. Judging from present appea !.
ances, the cotton crop will be larg
than any year since the war by at least
ten per cent probably fifteen. The
wheat crop ia very fine, and corn prom
ises remarkably well.
FLORIDA reports are of the same tenor
a. those last published. From Ceder
Keys we are advised that along the |
I'ne OF the railroad gardening and
orange-tree planting Is beginning to
take the place Of all other crops.
we have a few reports from placed |
not named above, but OF which we had
previously been very fully advised
The advices now at hand do NOT In
any way change the tenor of those
already published.-(N. Y. Tribune 10.
