CEOPS IN ENGLAND. 



Mr. Jaines Sanderson, in his annual harvest report to the London 

 Times, states that on all strong soils, as well as on light soils incumbent 

 on cool subsoils, the wheat crop is considerably over an average, the 

 yield ranging from six bushels to seventy-two bushels per acre. The 

 average i)roduct is estimated at thirty bushels to the acre — -just the 

 average crop. The acreage sown to wheat is reported as under aver- 

 age, and consequently the total product will ftill short of an average 

 yield. 



The barley crop, like wheat, is good on deep, cool subsoils. The pro- 

 duct is estimated at twentj^ per cent, below an average. Oats suffered 

 from the drought; the straw is exceedingly short, but the ears compara- 

 tively large. The crop is fifteen per cent, under average. The bean 

 crop is one-third deficient. Peas, an average crop. 



In many parts of the southern counties the potato crop is inferior, 

 the tubers being few and small. In the chief potato growing counties, 

 however, the yield promises an average; the quality is good, with no 

 symptoms of disease as yet. Mangolds, the most successful root in a 

 dry season, is somewhat late, but the plants are regular and healthy. 

 Turnips, though late, are generally healthy, and with a favorable au- 

 tumn may prove an average crop. 



Hay, in all the southern, midland, and eastern counties, has been 

 nearly a total failure. Pastures, severely scorched. 



THE COTTON SEASON OF 18G9-'70 IN INDIA. 



From the official report of Harry Pivett-Carnac, cotton commissioner, 

 to the Chamber of Commerce, Bombay, we learn that though tlie area 

 planted in cotton last year in the Central Provinces and the Berars was 

 considerably larger than ever before, the product shows a marked de- 

 cline. The acreage, compared with that of 1808-'69, was as follows : 



Acres, 1868-'69. Acres, 18G9-'70.
