Tm SOtmERN WOULD, AtJGTTsT 1,1862.
Condition of the Crops,
Without any exception worthy of notice,
all reports relative to wheat crops in Mich
igan, now about to be harvested, are of the
most glowing description. The weather for
the past ten days could not have been more
favorable for maturing and ripening the
cereals. It has been cool and much of the
time was pleasant, with fresh breezes fre
quently prevalent. The heads are large and
well filled. The berry has matured without
the least signs of shrinkage, and is as full,
round and plump as possible. The crop is
now beyond danger, except from a wet har
vest, and to reduce that danger to a mini
mum, the farmers have freely prepared
themselves for a quick gathering and secur
ing of the crops.
Reports from all along the lines of the Lake-
shore & Michigan Southern and Michigan
Central railroads show that the fields are
steadily ripening, and that by Monday next,
witli good weather, the harvest will be gen
eral. Already in the southwestern counties
work of that description has commenced,
and over quite a large section more or less
wheat has beeu cut.
A member of the Board of Trade, who
took a trip over the Detroit & Grand Haven
railroad for 200 mUes out, reports that he
did not see one piece of poor wheat, and
that on the higher and warmer grounds the
wheat will be ready to cut by the middle or
last of next week. With good weather for
the next three weeks, as fine and probably
the largest crop of wheat ever harvested in
Michigan will be secured.
An extended survey of the corn outlook
in Southern Illinois show that the section
fared much better than the Northern and
Central portions. The prospect is very good
and there will be an average yield with a
little rain during this month. Corn is
improving further North, and the situation
is far from as gloomy as two weeks ago.
In Southern Indiana the crop is doing
splendidly. In Southern Indiana and Illi
nois are large crops of wheat and oats.
Minnesota prospects for wheat are very
favorable and improving; corn is a little
backward here.
An Atchison, Ka., special says: The
Kansas wheat harvest has closed and most
satisfactorily. The yield over the entire
State averages twenty-five bushels per acre,
much heavier than the estimates of the
board of agriculture. The quality is the
best possible, and farmers are rushing in to
get high prices. Corn looks fine, is shoulder
high, and if nothing unforeseen comes, will
yield 175,000,000 bushels.
In Iowa the harvest is far enough advanc
ed to dispel the gloomy thoughts which far
mers indulged in during the past month.
Winter wheat never looked better. The
stand is thick, and the stock and heads be
ing heavy. Work began Friday and pro
gresses vigorously. The best fields will run
thirty to thirty-five bushels to the acre.
Spring wheat is hardly so good, but above
the average, and cutting will begin a week
hence. The yield will be seventeen to
twenty bushels per acre. Barley is in fine
condition, and will run twenty to twenty-
five bushels per acre. The oat harvest is
three weeks ofT and prospects are fine.
Kentucky’s crop prospects for the year are
exceptionally good. Tills remark applies
especially to the wheat crop. The corn crop
is scarcely far enough advanced to yet state
what it is likely" to be, though the indicu
tions are that it will be better in Kentucky
than in many other States.
A special dispatch from Chicago says: Up
to date 2,000 cars of new wheat, or about
one million bushels, have been unloaded in
this city, all of the very best quality, aver
aging considerably over sixty pounds to the
bushel. Never has such wheat been seen
here. It is estimated that not less than
5,500 or 0,000cars will land in Chicago this
year, and the aggregate may run away up
beyond that limit.
It is estimated that the amount of old
grain in store on the lines of the Western
roads leuding to Chicago is 7,000 000 bushels.
A special dispatch from Chicago says:
The general crop situation continues toim
prove. The winter wheat harvest in Wis
consin began yesterday with prospects for
an enormous yield. Corn nearly every
where promises better titan was thought
possible a week ago. The weeds have been
pretty well subdued, and the outlook is good
fora full crop it we have a late fall to let
the ears ripen. Oats will be largely harvest
ed in the West next week, and promises
twenty-five per cent, increase over any tor
mer years. The railroads report large orders
tot grain cars, and the prospect of increased
traffic is daily growing brighter. The deter
mination to maintain freight and passenger
rates is expressed by all leading roads.
Russian official advices are that summer
corn promises a satisfactory yield, and that
the winter crop will be equally good, except
in tbe Central Black Sea district and in
some governments in central Russia.
The prediction of a Western railroad Pres
ident Mr. Ingalls, that the lines from the
Southwest to Cincinnati, and even the trunk
lines to the seaboard, will be chocked with
grain, so heavy is this year's crop of wheat,
is a pleasant one.
Texas it is estimated will make 140,000,-
000 bushels of com.
The Wall street Newt takes the following
hopeful view: “ We are steadily marching
towards the light. The darkness is behind
us; each day the reports come from the great
grain centers of the enormous yield the
crops will give, and it would be difficult to
exaggerate the news. The country had gone
through a doleful twelve months, of which
nearly every material distress could be
traced directly or indirectly to the failure of
the crops. Now that we have the assurance
of almost unprecedentedly largo ones, may
we not reasonably anticipate such another
period of prosperity as the shortage inter
rupted?” __
Says that newsy little sheet tbe Wall street
Daily News: “The oats and grass crops are
next in importance to corn in all the stock-
raising States, and have an important influ
ence on the prices of meat. The returns
from Illinois indicate that the oats crop this
year will be in the neighborhood of 100,000,-
000 bushels in that State alone, which would
be some 50 per cent, greater than the largest
crop previously reported.”
It is suggested that the Georgia State Ag
ricultural Society bold but one session an
nually, and that after crops are laid by, for
a week or ten days at an encampment near
Tallulah Falls.
The summer session of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society, will be held in Mari
etta on the 8th of August.
