but it looks well and is clean. Morris: The @rought has injured crops; corn short 
and backward. 
PENNSYLVANIA.—Northampton: Put in three weeks later than usual; prospect poor. 
Montgomery: Indications of a large crop. Snyder: The crop will be short in conse- 
quence of the trouble of getting good seed; much of the first planting did not come 
up. Union: Very backward on account of dry weather. Lebanon : Very backward. 
Cambria : Owing to the late cold spring the planting was delayed, and when planted 
much of the seed rotted, which necessitated replanting. This with a few weeks of 
dry weather has kept the crop back very much. However, itis now making wonder- 
ful progress under the influence of warm suns and genial showers. Butler : Three 
weeks behind. York: Looks fresh and promising; season dry. Westmoreland : The 
dry weather during the past month has greatly injured the corn. Lancaster: Looks very 
irregular on account of late or irregular planting, but is growing more than any other 
crop. Clearfield: Came up very poorly; the vitality of the seedsupposed to have been 
injured by the extreme cold of last winter. Replanting once, and sometimes twice, was 
very common. Sucks: Came up uneven, but is doing well. Armstrong : Did not come 
up generally; second planting also failed for want of rain. The seed is blamed, but 
the same seed grew in some fields and notin others. Washington: Very backward. 
Lycoming,: Very backward and in many places quite thin on the ground, owing to the 
cold spring and to the seed being injured by the cold last fall before the cob was free of 
sap. Lehigh: Planted late on account of the wet season, and so much of the seed did 
not sprout that many farmers were obliged to replant, which was continued up to July. 
Huntington: In bad condition owing to the seed not growing. Fayette: Very back- 
ward, owing to the late cold spring ; much of the seed did not germinate and the eut- 
worm injured many sod-fields, rendering replanting necessary. The grub-worm is 
also doing some damage. rie: A great failure of seed; one-half the ground had to 
' be planted over again. Centre: Probably but about half a crop, owing to the use of 
poor seed. The seed seems not to have been sufficiently dried before cold weather. 
Beaver: Short ou account of late planting, but growing very well. Cameron: The 
season cold, dry, and about che month late, which accounts for the decreased average 
of corn. It is ina healthy condition though small. Lawrence: Asa general thing 
had to be replanted, on account of the seed not germinating, and is very short; will 
not be more than half a crop. Jndiana: Willbe light. The seed all proved to be 
in a bad condition and had to be replanted two or three times, and yet stands on the 
ground short. : 
DELAWARE.—New Castle: Not rain sufiicientto wet the ground since May 20; crops 
suffering. 
MaryLanp.— Washington: Has had a bad enemy in the cut-worms, and the dry 
weather has kept it back, but late rains are improving it. Baltimore : Before planting 
finished, cut-worms were more troublesome than ever known before. The stand 
ismuch below average. Ment: The grub-worm has injured the corn. Howard: Very 
little corn-ground plowed last fall owing to the early winter. Hence less acreage and 
to a large extent the cut-worm, which has been very destructive, necessitating in some 
cases complete and repeated replanting. Saint Mary’s: On some land badly killed out 
by worms after being planted the second time. Charles ; The average condition is 
lower in consequence of the cut-worms; many fields having been planted four times. 
Caroline : Has made a good growth considering that we have had no rain for a month. 
Queen Anne: Bad stands ; much of that now standing having been replanted late ; 
not more than half as high as last year. 
ViRGINIA.—Spotisylvania : Not so tall as usual, owing to the cool spring, but very 
healthy. Pulaski: Small, being planted late, but looks thrifty. Bedford: The plant- 
ing retarded, and the corn much injured after planting by heavy and continued rains. 
Stafford : Condition better than last year. ing and Queen: The heavy rains and 
coid weather during the month of May caused much of the corn to rot, making it 
necessary to replant it. This makes it late and small. Fluvanna: Promising, though 
small. Wythe: Looks well for the time it was planted—three weeks later than usual. 
Warren: Much trouble by the worm. Powhatan: Good. ing George: Very promis- 
ing. Caroline: Season propitious for corn. Prince Edward: Planted later than usual; 
otherwise, a full average. Orange: Never more promising at this season. Washington: 
Healthy, though late. Chesterfield: That planted early badly drowned; but now all 
planted and worked, looking very promising. Clark: The cut-worm has injured the 
corn more than ever known before; consequently, the crop is very backward and 
small. Middlesex: Suffering from extremely dry weather. Greenville: Never appeared 
better at this season. Bath: Very late, and very much troubled with the grub-worm. 
Fauquier : Promises a full crop. Madison: Looking well. Mecklenburgh : Looking badly, 
on account of the cold, wet spring. James City: Planted late, and therefore quite 
low for the season ; but the drought having enabled farmers to work in it almost every 
day, it isin beautiful order. Campbell: Late; otherwise, equal to that of last year. 
Prince George: Late; though small it*looks healthy. Henrico: Prospect fine for a 
large yield. Highland: Much retarded by late planting, caused by much rain; doing
