THE CRoPs.-The HERALD has been
making diligent enquiry relative to the
condition of various crops in this vicin-
ity, and the reports are wonderfully
unanimous in their general tone. Wheat
is in prime condition. The plant is OF
excellent color, vigorous and well stooled,
and is beginning to head. The weather
has been very favorable, and the indica-
tons are now that there. will be an
abundant yield. 1t is not out of danger
from unfavorable weather, but if nothing
adverse occurs the crops will be excellent.
Oats are in the same condition, giving
promise of an unusually fine return.
Corn looks well, but the plant is from
ten days to two weeks behind the aver
ags season. With favorable growing
weather and fate frosts the crop will be
good.
Potatoes never looked better at this
season of the year, and the acreage is
greater than usual. The beetle is attack
ing the plant pretty freely, and where no
attention has been paid to protect the
vine from its ravages considerable dam
age will result.
Wild hay is ten days late but is heavy
and good, giving promise of more than
an average yield. Some of it has been
cut and little of it marketed. Timothy
has suffered from the drouth of last year
and is not thick on the ground, but has
grown tall, and the yield to the acre will
be fair.
Pasturage has been little below the
average, but recent rains has brought the
grass forward rapidly and it is now ex-
cellent.
Miscellaneous crops are in good aver
age condition, and taken all in all the
present outlook is more encouraging
than it has been for several years.
