Kansas.

The Wellington (sumner County,
Kan Press, of the 18th inst, says of
the crop prospects:
Corn is in ear, and the prospect for
heavy yield could not be better
Wheat,is mostly in stack and safe
from danger by reason of late heavy
rains.
Oats are in shock The best crop
ever grown in the country.
Vegetables are abundant. Irish po-
tatoes a full crop. Sweet potatoes
promise an enormous yield.
Beans, peas, tomatoes. cabbages,
and indeed everything in the line of
vegetables will make full crop.
The same paper gives the following
crop items from Caldwell, in Sum
county:
Mr.. W. B. King, living a few miles
west of this place, was in to see us
last week. He thinks he will have
about three thousand bushels of corn
on his little corn patch of seventy
acres.
Mr.. N. J. Dixon threshed his wheat
last week. The yield was thirty one
bushels per acre, which was entirely
beyond his expectations. We have
heard several of our farmers say that
they were really surprised.
As to the yield of wheat per acre, in
every instance it has turned out be-
yond expectations.
The farmers generally are in good
spirits and are looking forward for
good times
Inc same paper further states:
A farmer living in ValVerdi township
gave us, last week, the yield of sever
al fields of wheat that had been thresh
ed from the shock. Only one field
had fallen below twenty bushels,
while several had averaged thirty. five
bushels per acre. One field, of the
Mediterranean variety, measured thir-
ty six and half bushels per acre.
! The aggregate yield of wheat in
this county, estimating from the yield
per acre of the fields that have been
threshed, will be much larger than was
anticipated. It will probably reach
four hundred bushels.

- Pig Iron Kelley, of Pennsylva-
mia, who the Democracy have import
ed into this state, to advocate the Pen
dleton greenback policy, is a high pro
tective tariff politician. How does the
advocacy of that kind of policy suit
the Democracy upon a Democratic
stump? Won't it have the effect to
neutralize his greenback oratory?
