MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



So fjiras personal examination has extended 

 the whe-ats are backward, and fortunately 

 so, from the extremely ungenial slate of the 

 (i-eather, the N. Easterly winds having; con- 

 "■flnued almost inTarinble, for a lonper inter- 

 '*»cil during the pieseat month, than at any 

 former period of the spring. A great 

 portion of the good people of Britain are 

 solacing themselves by their fire-sides on 



fat or lean, abundant, and at very moderate 

 prices, with an appearance of a still farther 

 reduction in price of all the necessaries of 

 life. The distress of the farmers and the 

 labourers still the chief burden of every re- 

 port, to \Yhioh may now be added, the general 

 report of the Agricultural committee in Par- 

 liament, stating all immediate relief to be 

 beyond the power of the legislature ; a fact 



Midsummer-day ! On the favourable side of of which we have long since, and repeatedly 



the c<ise, with repeat to the prime concern, 

 ^the wheals, dry weather is generally found 



.Jjeneficial to that crop. The plant is strong 

 ' *ndluxuriant,wlth very little appearance,how- 

 ^"^yer, of tillering or offsets, and in places thin ; 



JOl^coloured al«o, as ii-:ual, from atmospheric 



warned the country. It would be well in- 

 deed, M'cre it as easy to prescribe an eflfectual 

 remedy for the existing distresses, as it is to 

 jjoint out their real fundamental cause. The 

 present ought to be no time for hypocrisy 

 and superficial dabbling. Too great a ma- 



iiffection. With a favourable change of jorily of the sufferers have had their favourite 



^fiiie weather, Mbeat may yet be a productive 

 Ifcrop. Should the weather continue in its 

 -ii^resent state during the flowering or bloom- 

 Yftijrprocess, the consequence will be, a greater 

 hquantity of blighted and smutted wheat than 

 hio tlie last crop. The spring corn is retarded 

 <|q its growth by the same cause, and looks 

 ■)fyeJ\ow, and in part sickly, but on the whole, 

 ^Jjere is, a considerable bulk. Beans and 

 jieas have thus far a favourable appearance. 

 Clover, lucern, and the seed crops generally, 

 are much cut by the cold, especially in 

 exposed situations. The hay harvest in Mid- 

 dlesex, has been good ; on the best lands, 

 ■ particiilarly heavy. Hops have suffered much 

 frotn the easterly winds. Potatoes are a 

 considerable breadth, and the plant full as 

 forward as could be expected. Turnip sowing 

 rfbas been early this season, and the Swedes 

 arbave been some time above ground. Much 

 ntrf *be usual periodical nonsense afloat, about 

 «T|C«tehing turnip-flies. From the abundance 

 jr.pf hands, the lands generally in good tilth, 

 )>fej)d the drill system is making its way in all 

 7}>arts. All hope relinquished of a good crop 

 ,-,©f fruit, except perhaps of latter fruits. The 

 .„iUl of lambs seems to have been least fa- 

 ji vpurable in Dorset. A disease in swine, in 

 (jopnaepf the western counties, has enhanced

war, and must be contented to pay its cost. 

 They have put down inconvenient and un- 

 holy popular pretensions, and established 

 upon these ruins, a holy alliance. We have 

 an anniversary of Waterloo to celebrate — 

 Boney in quod at St. Helena, like a parrot 

 in a cage; orange lodges, imported -with 

 bacon, butler, and pigs from Ireland, and 

 spreading from Manchester throughout the 

 counlrj- ; a new Constitutional Association, a 



Coronation next month what would we 



have ? In the meantime, Mr. Scarlett's tory 

 poor bill is extremely unpopular throughout 

 the countr)', and Mr. Malthus's famous tory 

 book, which so nobly answered certain pur- 

 poses, needs no other confutation than the 

 present state of aflairs. The first step io 

 relief must be looked for in the general de- 

 preciation of rent.
