THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC 
LYhilesvBle, Allegany Co., N. Y., Sept. 1.— 
During the month of August, in common with 
much of the North, we were visited with a su¬ 
perabundance of rain, which kept farmers very 
jjusy dodging between shotvers to secure their 
hay crop. Last wmek, however, the skies clear¬ 
ed, and for ten daj'B we have had bright sun¬ 
shine. The oat crop is being rapidly secured. 
Wheat, of which but a small area Ls sown, is 
fast ripening. Buckwheat in many places seems 
scorched by the sun. Corn seems backward, 
audio many fields will not ripen unless the 
weather continues favorable several weeks 
longer. The army worm is reported as being 
engaged In devastating the graiu flolds In the 
northern part of the county. Farmers here 
hope to get their crops housed ere the advent 
of the pests. With all the rain we have expe¬ 
rienced and the losses wo have sustained there¬ 
by, we have one consolation, for which we are 
grateful—the potato bugs have had a soaking 
from which they cannot well recover. Dairy 
stock has yielded well thus far, Is new in good 
condition, and with the floe pasturage promised 
this fall, we may consldor the season a success¬ 
ful one for our principal products—butter and 
cheese.—o. n. n. 
Wellaville, Allegnny Co., N. Y., Aug. 30.— 
Our “rainy season” being over, we are now en¬

rienced. If. o.
