CROP REPORTS

From out west comes most doleful tidings OF
the failure of the wheat crop. We heard OF
man who threshed the grain raised on forty
acres Of ground and received 80 bushels. Mi.
VIM. Campbell informs us that many farmers
who had made up their minds to be satisfied
with five bushels to the acre, have been disap-
pointed and will not get even that amount OF
grain.
One farmer near this village has threshed his
crop and the average is nine bushels to the
acre.
1t looks as if we would all have to wear our
old clothes this year.-Litchticld Nelcs Ledger.
