fcribe the WHEATS, in general,.as very thin, and the BanLEY and -QaTs as 
much ftarved. However favourable the feafon may turnout, it is conéeived that, 
on cold foils, they can fcarcely amount to a tolerable‘crop. The Spring Cornj not 
being fo far advanced, may pofubly recover. The Fallows, from the fame 
caule, are remaikably Peekvand and very few. POTATOEs or. "FURNIPS ate yet
