The Crops ofl§B‘i.
We copy from the New York
World some interesting statements
concerning the crops ol the country.
Want of space prevents our copying
in full the very satisfactory and ex
plicit reports alluded to by the World:
The W orld this morning lays he
fore its renders the fullest and most
impartial account yet given ta the
public of the condition and outlook
of the crops at rhis time in all parts
of (he United Slates. '1 hese accounts
present a living panoramic view of
those great agricultural interests
wlrcli underlie the whole fabric of
our national activity and industry
Men of all callings and of all stations
it! life and directly concerned to know
the truth, the w hole truth and noth
ing but the truth in regard to these
gieat interests. By the crops of the
United States not only all the calcu
lations of lliu great world ol business
men, but tbo incomes of investors,
ns well as the operations of the rela
tively small world of speculators all
over 1 l>e union, must be fundament
ally effected, and it is of the first im
port Slice, therefore, that clear, full,
and above all accurate statements tip
on this subject should ho put as the
World now puts them wHiin reach of
all ola-ses of the community.
We are told that “all signs fail in
i dry weather.” As the weather of
this season lias been anything but dry,
we may trust the signs which indi
cate that the quantity of exportable
products garnered in the United
Stales iii 1882 will be greatly in ex
cess of the yield of last rear. The
crop advices which we lay before our
readers to day arc in some respects
phenomenal. The acreage of nearly
all the great products of the country,
il will l>.; seen, has been largely in
crease, and in almost all parts of the
country increased harvest are antici
pated. Though the great cotton sta
pie has suffered in the region of the
Mississippi from tremendous floods,
the high prices for plantation supplies
and ilafinury weather in the month of
May, the prospects in the gulf states
are so excellent ns to warrant the an
ticipation of a larger total yield than
that of lust year. Equally favorably,
in spite of circumstances as untoward,
is the out lock for another great arti
cle of export— tobacco. Pasturage
promises so well that there seems to
Ite no reason to expect any falling off
in the supply of beet cattle, which of
’•** w ..<*• K>morns* °
source of our agricultural wealth, and
which under the operation of a more
rational fiscal system must eventually
play a part in the schedule of our na
tional resources, the importance of
which the most sanguine bc’iever in
“manifest, destiny” cannot easily over
estimaio. The same thing is true o(
the pork and lard yield of the year,
and though the wool clip is likely to
be Inter than itstia', the genual yield
is expected to ho greater than that of
last year. This intelligence is of spe
cial value, ns there is now a very ur
gent demand tor tiiis great staple.
The cereals generally have suffered
less than has been expaoted and sup
posed from the unusual weather of
the past winter and spring, and while
they all promise fairly there is no re
serve as to the rcagnifieent outlook of
the crop of oats in any part of the
country. The prospects ol the hemp
region are good, and though the fruit
crop seem to have suffered from the
unseasonable frosts in the west and
northwest, from all parts of the At
lantic coast generally more satisfac
tory reports are sent to up.
Ottr reports arc unexpectedly fav
orable regarding the position and
prospects of growing cotton. The
oveifiotv of the Mississippi river, to
together with local floods, delayed
planting over largo areas, and the
high e >st of plantation supplies, such
a* Indian corn and bacon, caused ap
prehensions that a deoreaied acreage
would he planted, while the cold
weather, with not unfrequent frosts,
gave rise to rej orts of serious damage
to the young plant; and there can be
no doubt that some replanting will be
done, exposing much of the crop to
danger from early frosts in the fall.
But when it is roneinbered that a
cotton bo 1 will mature in six weeks,
this danger will not be regarded as
serious From New Orleans the sig
nificant (act is mentioned that much
sugar land has been planted to cotton,
and the much higher prices now rul
ing, as compared with last May, have
doubtless promoted the planting of an
increased are a wherever possible. Re
ports from the Atlantic or ast and the
northern belt may not be expected to
be quite so tavorub'e as those from
the gulf states, but the w hole situa
tion at this lime may be regarded as
promising a yield in excess of that ot
tlie current season l ist year and ap
proximating no doubt the largest ev
er raised.
Our despatches regarding the | r > -
peels of winter wheat represent that
a comparatively gloomy outlook has
changed greatly for the better. The
cold month of May, injurious as it un
douhti-dly was to much other veg. 'a
tion, did no harm to winter wheat.
It gave it vigor, without* too rank a
growth. The harvest has already, be
gun in Texas, and die yield is excel
lent in quality and quantity. In the
northern states east ol the Mississip
pi some fields suffered from winter
killing, but aw has more recently aj>~
peered, not nearly to lh“ extent that
'was fear* and. There was little) or no
increase in the acreage—in fact, it is
probable that the drought of last
summer caused some reduction of the
an a sown, but at present there is lit
tle reason to doubt that the yield will
li 3 larger. Throughout much of the
winter w he;,t section it wiii be ready
for harvest in June, and even in north
ern latitudes in July.
