THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
Westport. Conn., June 27.—The weather here 
since my last report has been very dry, and is 
so now. Wo have had no rain of any account 
for six or seven weeks. I do not think I ever 
saw the ground as it is now, any time of the 
year. Grass is dry enough to burn on dry 
ground. Pasture is getting very short, and near¬ 
ly everything is suffering badly. Tho crop of 
hay la very small, and about half there is is 
daisies. Very little timothy anywhere. Oats 
must be very short; some of them are begin¬ 
ning to head out. I am afraid it has been too 
dry for wheat and rye, especially on dry ground. 
Strawberries have suffered considerably; some 
pieces are not more than half a. crop; others on 
low land have done well, but will soon he gone. 
Grapes are looking pretty fair; apples will be 
scarce; no cherries or peaches of any account; 
some pears. Unless we have rain soon, early 
potatoes must be very small; garden truck not 
very pleut y ; plenty of cut worms in the ground : 
some cabbage worms and caterpillars. —a. s. n. 
Malvern, Mills Co., Iowa.—This county lies 
next the Missouri River and the next county 
but ore to Missouri- It Is a great corn country. 
Every available acre (except, a few of wheat, 
oats and a “ t ruck patch”) has been planted to 
corn until there is no sale for It at any profit . 
This season the rush is for wheat. Should I heir 
be even an average crop wheat, will be as un¬ 
salable next fall as corn is now. There is con¬ 
siderable flax sown this season; also some 
broom-corn.— l. . 1 . 
Sclo, (V. Y. June 21.—Season has been very 
dry here; it Is now raining finely; has been ex¬ 
tremely hot hero for the past few days. Hay 
will not hoover half crop; oats paver looked 
worse; winter wheat, looks as well as we could 
reasonably expect; potato bug has appeared 
here in great numbers for the first time; wool 
no sales yet; store cattle must be cheap hero 
this fall, owing to short crops.—j, m. t.
