Linco/njhire ^tarter/y Report. 



The ftate of the growing crops of corn in this county Is as 

 follows ; Wheats are very thin, and much inferior to what they 

 have been for feveral years. A great many of the plants perifhed 

 during the Winter months, which gives caufe to fear that the pie- 

 fcnt crop will be a deficient one. Spring grains are, in general, 

 Itiuch as ufual. Barley and oats have a promifing appearance, with 

 the exception of the marflies •, for, in forae parts of thefe, the con. 

 dition of the crop is truly melancholy, having, in the firft inftancc, 

 been nearly deftroyed by the coldnefs and weinefs of the feafon, 

 and latterly by the attacks of the grub-worm. It is an abfolute 

 faS, furprifing as it may appear, that fome farmers in thefe fitua- 

 tions would at this time » ke conflderably lefs for their crop thaa 

 they gave for its feed. Beans and peas do not look fo well as in 

 ordinary years. Perhaps, taking the whole county, the crop, upon 

 an average (making the above exceptions), may beconiidered near- 

 ly as good as ufual. 



The crops of artificial grafs are not likely to be productive, on 

 account of their growing in an irregular patched manner, having 

 fome parts well ftored with plants, while others are naked altogether. 

 This is pretty general, and can only be attributed to the wetnefs of 

 the weather •, for, if the feed had been bad, the effefts would have 

 been uniform. The natural meadows, it is to be hoped, will make 

 up for the failure of the artificial graffes, as they, upon the whole, 

 make a luxuriant appearance. 



fat beads are fcarce, and feed very flow, which is owing to the 

 extreme coldnefs of the weather. Some of the paflures are quite 

 ftarved, and, of courfe, very deficient of grafs. Fat (lieep are 

 coming to be tolerably plentiful. Prefent prices of butcher-meat : 

 beef 8id. to pd. per lib. j mutton yd. to yxd. j veal yd to 8d. ; 

 lamb 8d. to pd. Of the laft article, not many have been flaughter- 

 ed this feafon. 



The prices of grain are, wheat from 115s. to Jtaos. per quarter ; 

 barley 50s. to 70s.*, rye 70s. to 80s, j oats 495.10 j[6s. j beans
