The Corn and wheat Prospects.

We are informed that the first reports
as to damage done hereabOuts to the
wheat by freezing have been exaggerated,
and that while nothing like last years
crop need be looked for there is neverthe-
less, all things considered, ashOW for
tolerable yield. The reports from the
country at large go to show that the
damage is not 30 great as at first reported.
The recent warm weather has put life
into fields that were previously thought
to be dead.
In regard to the prospects for corn
crop, it now seems that there will be q
larger acreage planted this spring than
for number Of years, First, the South,
1t is said, has determined to plant a
greater variety of crops, with view to
supply its own bacon, Corn and bacon
have been so high At the South and
cotton 80 low that the planters
have been impoverished rather than en-
riched by the exchange for those neccs.
stiles. Second, the high prices Of and
large profit on corn and hogs the past
season, with u continuance Of encouraging
prospects for the coming year, will
naturally tend to an Increased acreage in
all corn growing countries--importing as
we'll rs exporting. Third, the winter
killing in many Of the central and north
ern sections Of the western winter wheat
States, requiring the pIowing up Of many
wheat fields, will induce the planting Of
corn in place Of the usual wheat acreage
Of those sections.
Thus, 1t would appear that so far asa
judgment can be formed thus early, with
the best obtainable information before us,
the country's supply OF corn promises to
bematOrially increased the coming harvest
while the yield Of winter wheat bids fair
to show more or leSs marked decrease,
with an average crop Of spring wheat.
As to the prospects Of the spring wheat
crop, which Ia now attracting great in.

for termination. But the splendid wheat
soils Of Minnesota have never yet known
such things as rot, or failure to quicken.
Even wheat sown on the snow, In Febru.

those Of this year, have uniformly re.

as Il is now pretty sure they will not, and
II the heavens do not utterly refuse to

to he the popular Idea.
