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. OUlt ROUND TABLE. "Good Digestion, or the Dyspeptic’s Friend. By J, H. Hanaford, M.
