AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
HE wheats look generally promising, although effected in colour, by the constant blighting of the eastern and northerly winds. On the best lands, a very productive crop may be expected; for, although the clover leys were very foul, and the slug and wire worm did great mischief in the spring to the wheats sown thereon, yet even those have much recovered, and should we get moderate and favourable showers, the light land wheats may also be very good. They have generally bloomed, or flowered very successfully. Beans may yet be a good crop, but the barley, particularly that which was late sown, looks very sickly and backward, and generally the spring crops are hurt much for want of rain. The latter sown spring wheats in the North are in this predicament. The crops of hay are short on all the uplands, and everywhere but on the best meadow: the same of all the artificial grasses. There is, however, on hand, good stocks of all kinds of old corn and of hay. No turnip seed got in yet, for want of rain; for the same reason, the hops are backward, and the potatoes, which last may be a short crop, notwithstanding a very considerable breadth was planted.
Lean stock in the country much lower in price, and in great plenty, excepting pigs, the smaller kinds of which are worth a shilling per pound. Lean stock have been generally dearer this spring in the North, than the last.
