very good one ; for though it was thin on the ground, the cars 

 were well filled ; but fince then, the greater part has been fo affecl- 

 ed by the weather, that we fear it will be found deficient, as very 

 few famples appear that were harvefted fince, without being in part 

 fprouted. 



The crop of rye is but fmall ; but as it is all harvefted under a 

 good fun, the quality is very dry, and will yield well. 



Barley, no doubt, is a very abundant crop ; but there is a great 

 deal of it fo much grown, that it will be totally unfit for malting. 

 That, early harvefted, is beautiful ; and as we have had latterly 

 fome pretty fine weather, that which was not cut during the firft. 

 rams, and was not fully ripe, is not much hurt : But in all the 

 famples h?.rvefted fince the rain, there will be fome fprouted ker- 

 nels, as it chitted whilft ftanding ; but we think, on the whole, 

 that which we call our fecond quality, will be found as kind in 

 malting as the very fine delicate fort. 



The oats are good. The crop alfo in the fens is equally good, in 

 point of quality ; but as they are much later in the harvett, there 

 will be a great variety in the famples ; yet, upon the whole, they 

 will be found much fuperior to the growth of lad year. 



Peas are a fair crop, and being well harvefted, of a fine quality. 

 Beans are middling ; but as they have been expofed to the whole 

 of the rains, and fome even yet abroad, we confider them injured, 

 and in a precarious ftate.

Northumberland ^larterly Report. 



The corn-crops in this diftrift have been materially injured from 

 feveral caufes. The grub, in the Spring months, in a great mea- 

 lure, deftroyed the wheat and oats upon clover leas, where the 

 foils were itrong or moiil. Upon dry, fandy, or gravelly foils, 

 the extreme drought checked the growth of barley and oats fo 

 very much, that, in many places, the car did not get half oat of the
