THE CROPS.

The hemp crop will be fully aver
age, and bids to be of good quality.
Ponltry is ten per cent. in excess
of last year, with great Improvement
in breeds
The potato crop is ten per cent. |
larger in acreage, and ten per cent.
above average in condition through |
out the country.
The hay aRd grass crops OF the
country are generally good, ana will
be up to an average. Oats are very
poor and short.
The rice crop in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Louisiana will
be larger than since the war, and of
good quality.
Barley will be fine in most sec
tions, but it is feared too much rain
now will injure its color seriously.
The acreage is probably two per
cent. above average.
Peaches in the Northern and
Western States are nearly failure,
and great complaint is making of
fapples and pears falling from the
trees in the same sections.
The Louisiana, Florida and Texas
sugar crops have increased ten per
cent. in acreage, and bid fair to make
a good yield. Sorghum is again in
creasing in every portion of the
South and West.
The fruit crop in all the South
ern States and California is ten per
cent. above the average, except
peaches in some localities. Grapes,
pears, apples, oranges, pine apples,
bananas, plums, cherries, small ber-
ries, water melons and other fruits
are each good in their respective 10
calities, and California will make
more wine than has ever been
known in the State.
The cotton crop of Georgia. South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama is
reported, in both acreage and con
dition, fully equal TO the average
Seasons have been very propitious
and a very good stand is had. In
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
and Tennessee the acreage will not
be so large, with a fair average
stand. Texas reports a good croI
except IN a few counties where
drouth has injured to some extent
In the bottom lands there has beer
too much wet weather everywhere
l along the rivers, particularly alonl
the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Re-
rivers, so that the usual river crol
will be backward.
Corn crops throughout the south
, ern States will be larger in acreag
than last year, and, in condition
are better than for several years
More attention is being paid to ce
reals of all kinds The crops il
Texas and the more southern State
are in "roasting ear" and will eX
ceed the last crop in yield by 10 pc
. cent. In the Western States tn
= crop bids fair 70 make an excellen
Yield, and is sOsns five per cen
g above average in acreage. Tle Ps
. cific States report fine corn crop
\ and in good condition. In tn
Northern and Eastern States cor
s is quite small, much of it not "
thinned out owing to the cold, VIZ
n weather of the spring.
@ Tobacco is short in acreag
