Michigan wheat Crop.
DS1Dorr, Aug. 29.-This morning.
Post aud Tribune publishes returns frou
svssy wheat producing county in thu
State, forwarded by well informed par
~, estimating from the best infOrma
tOn 0btainable the amount Of damages
sntained by the wheat crop during th'
went harvest period. Two points wer,
named upon which special reports wer,
sslicted, viz: What percentage Of tn
whole crop was 80 materially injured a
toreduoe its quality and grade, and ais
what proportion was SO damaged rs {
b practically ruined except for feed
h nearly every return careful estimate
ne furnished in reply to these sugges
tons. Before the wet d ION there wei
to weeks Of az fine, brilliant weathe
FOX harvesting a. ever favored our State
During that time the crop in the tw
southern tiers of counties was suppose
10 be pretty generally housed or i
sacks, and yet in some counties con
siderable damage to the crop il r.
ported. Even in those districts 80 ma
isfial is the reported injury that ",
cannot but think that It is Over-esti
mated, and the threshing machines vii
shoW such results. The most seriOn
los reported is from Cass and Van Blu
ron counties and in the vicinity o
Jonesville. Hillsdale county.
The damage resulted very largel,
from imperfect stacking. Farmer
szpecasd soon to thresh, and did no
anticipate such q succession of rain ana
continuance of unfavorable weather
Wheat, therefore, in not q few instan
sesin which it was supposed to be se
eured, was found materially injured IL
~ stack by being wet. North Of thOa'
counties, aud including the central an(
noFthern wheat producing sections u
the State, large amount of wheat wa.
out IN the shock, and considerable straw
sneut while no small portion Of that
which was stacked was hurt. In some
of the southern counties nearly thu
vhols crop was exposed to a ten days
aosm In the central part Of the State
u Dornis and Eaton counties it suffered
noss severely, nearly il not quite thu
whole crop being seriously damaged
and . small percentage ruined, whils
~ products Of GratiOt, Genessee, Hu
nn, LAper and MacOmb counties wer,
even more hardly dealt with.
From the tenor of these returns il 1
svidsnt the crop suffered severely, ant
that an average at least of . to 30 Pc
snt Of the product of tho whole Stat
uas lost. II was also reduced at leas
eoe OF two grades, or so much hurt a
. b iit only for feed. Upon the basi'
oss 1No,C0O bushels crop, at least 3.
VWM9 70 10000, 600 bushels would be I
nodesate estimate Of the extent Of in
Wy, while the outside amount wOul(
peooably more nearly represent th,
neanre Of damages.
Jhe outlook for corn Ia at least q TAI
81, and should the frost be late in Sep
onhsr, . very much better yield will b
sassd than was thought possible ear
nee n the season.
Ihe oat crop is the largest ever har
