llrport of Agricultural Commissioner
DurAiiTMr.NT of Anmcuirriir:,!
Wahiii.noion, June, ltutL
From a careful analysis of statistical
returns, with duo regard to tho usual
uverago product and present looses of
each State, tlio prospect on the first of
Juno was for seven tenths of n crop,
"With favorahlo weather, nnd nbonco
from casualitics beforo harvesting, tho
Indications point to tlireo fourths of an
average totnl yield of wheat.
Tho injury lias been mainly attributed
to Winter-killing, luaddition, thodep
reflations of tlio lly have been complain
ed of In many places, and injury has
also resulted from dry weather early in
the Spring.
In tlio general expression of loss and
anxiety, such statements as tlio follow
ing, of which many were received, nro
gratifying :
The Secretary of tho Montgompry
County (Illinois) Agricultural Society
says: " Thcnppcarnncoof Winter wheat
was never better at this season of the
year, and if it ripens oil' without rust or
other injury, will bo tho best crop of
wheat in this section of tlio country for
many years."
Allen County, Kansas. " Our prospect
for Winter wheat is better than ever
known in tills section."
Woodson Counti, Kansas. "Our
Winter wheat makes tlio best nppear
unco that it ever did at this season, and
bids fair to bo heavy."
Union County, Oto. After reporting
tho prospect of ono fifth of a crop, our
correspondent says: "A few fields of
good wheat nro seen, but they are inva
riably protected by timber on tho north
ern and western sides.
Ohio and Indiana appear to havo suf
fered most from Winter-killing. A pros
pect for thirty-four per cent, of u crop of
Winter wheat in Indiana is sufficiently
discouraging. An increase, by four
tenths, of tlio average breadth of Spring
wheat will afford somerelief,andoughtto
bring up tho total average to half a crop.
Ohio is reported at four tenths for Win
ter wheat, and with two and a half toaths
moro of Spring wheat than usual. A
very little better prospect for Winter
wheat than Indiana, and not quito so
largo an Increase, of Spring wheat, will
give about tho same result half an av
erage crop.
Illinois, now our greatest wheat-growing
State, promises seven tenths of a
crop. As tho Spring wheat, which is
tho main dependence for n crop in por
tions of tho State, is nearly as good as
usual, at least three fourths of a crop of
wheat should bo expected in this State.
In Wisconsin tho AVintcr wheat is re
ported nt six and ono third tenths, with
onound three fourths moroSpring wheat
than usual, which should securo three
fourths of an average crop for this State.
In Iowa tho nppearance of Winter
wheat is nino tenths, Spring ten and
tlireo fourth teutlis, and breadth of tho
latter sown twelve nnd ono eighth
tenths. Tills should givo at least an av
erage crop for Iowa.
In Pennsylvania tho wheat crop is
eight tenths.
In New York, Winter wheat eight
nnd four ninth tenths; Spring wheat
nino nnd tlireo fifth tenths or about
eight tenths for tho crop ns a whole.
In Missouri a prospect for a full crop
of Winter wheat is reported, with ono
half tenth or five per cent, moro than
usual breadth of Spring wheat, looking
nearly as well as usual at this season of
tlio year.
Kentucky is reported at fivo and two
third tenths.
Michigan, soven nnd a half tenths.
' Minnesota, ten and five-ninth tenths
for Whiter wheat, and nino tenths for
Bpring wheat.
Kansas, fourteen and ono third tenths
for Winter and twelve tenths for Spring
wheat.
In New England, except in Mnsachu
ectts, a full breadtli of Spring wheat Is
sown, looking better than an average in
Maine, antra fraction lower than an
average in tlio other States.
Winter wheat, where it is grown at
nil, has suffered to tho extent of ono and
two tenths, and in Vermont and Con
necticut three- tenths,
Now Jersey is placed In tho snmo list
with New York and Pcniinylvniiln, lit
eight tenths j nud Delaware, Maryland,
and West Virginia will average about
fcix tenths.
Winter Jiyc. Tho Winter ryo shared
tho fato of tho wheat, but in u loss de
gree. Tho injury was greatest in Ohio,
AVest Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky,
Michigan, aiidlndlana. Delaware, Con
necticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont
como next In order. Kansas, Nebraska,
nnd Minnesota nro tlio only States above
tlio average, while Missouri and New
Hampshire uro reported at ten tenths.
Winter Jlarley, Ohio promises llttlo
1
Illinois, eight tenths; Now llauipslilro
nnd Massachusetts, ten tenths; Knnfiis,
thirteen tenths ; Nebraska, fifteen
tenths. Tlio average will boabout eight
and 11 half tenth. The .'tyring, barley,
while varying in promise In dlfi'erent
Stales, will average ten tenths.
Ortn. Tho average of tills crop is
(nrger than usual In nenrly all tho.States.
The appearance of the crop U, in Indi
ana, eight tenths; in Illinois, eight nnd
n half tenths; in Ohio and Michigan,
nine tenths; in other Stales lnnging
from nine to thirteen tenths; Uliotlu
Island, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, nnd
Nebraska being nhovo (houvorage. The
crop Indicates an average yield.
Clover. More clover was sown than
usual, and is reported in full average
condition. In Delaware and Missouri
its appearance is worst, though tho in
creased acreage will make up tho deil
cleney. Maryland , New J ersey, Massa
chusetts, New Hampshire, Illinois, and
Kansas fall u llttlo below the average;
Maine, thirteen and ono sixth tenths.
I'astures. Heturns havo been unfa
vorable to the dairy interest. A very gun
eral falling oil is observed in the condi
tion of of pastures, except in the Slates
beyond tho MUsls-ilppi.
Maple Suyar and Molasses. This pro.
duct will average nine and three tpuir
ter tenths. New Hampshire, Massachu
setts, and Delaware ten tenths. The
other New Kngland Slates nine and a
quarter tenths. The Middle and West
ern States seven to nine tenths.
Weep. Sheep took tho field this
Spring in better condition than usual
In some places neglect, and consequent
dl-easo and death, are reported, nrising
from depreciation in prices of wool.
Fruit. A medium crop of apples is
Indicated, though there is variation in
tho appearance in different localities.
In New Kngland and the extreme West
tho prospect is better than usual; in tho
central States worse. I'eaches have suf
fered from Winter-killing very general
ly. In Ohio scarcely a third of a crop
is expected; In New Jersey less than
half a crop; in Delaware and Maryland
about six tenths.
J'ear.i. Pears will not prove an aver
age crop. Isaac Np.wtox,
Commissioner.
FOR YOUTHFUL READERS.
The One I.ttlle Pnvnr.
Little Pir.iutK sat humming by the
bedside of his sick mother. There was
no bread in tho closet, and for a whole
day he had not tasted food. Yet he sat
humming to keep up his spirits. Still
at times ho thought of his loneliness and
hunger, and he could scarcely keep tho
tears from ids eyes, for he knew nothing
would be so grateful to his poor invalid
mother as a good sweet orange ; anil yet
ho had not a penny in the world.
The little song ho was singing was ids
own ono ho composed with air and
words; for the child was a genius, and
a fervent worshipper at tho shrine of
music.
As tho tears would roll down his
cheeks, and his voice would falter at his
sad, sad thoughts, he did not dare to let
his mother see, but hastily rising, hur
ried to tlio window, and there watched
a man putting up a great bill with yel
low letters, announcing that Madame
M , then a famous enntntrice, would
sing that night at tho temple.
"Oh, if I could only go," thought Lit
tlo Pierre; and then pausing a moment,
ho clasped his hands, his eyes lighted
with unwonted fire, and running to tho
Utile stand, he smoothed down his yel
low curls, and taking from a llttlo box
some old stained paper, gave ono eager
glance nt his mother who slept, and ran
speedily from the house.
" Who did you say is waiting for mo?"
said Madame M to her servant. "I
tun already nearly worn out with com
pany." "It is only a very pretty iittlo boy
with yellow curls, who says if ho can
only sco you ho is sure you will not be
sorry, nnd ho won't keep you a mo
ment." "Oh I well, let him conic," said tlio
beautiful singer with a smile; "I can
never refuse children."
Uttlo Pierre came in, Ids hat under
his nrm, nnd in his hand a llttlo roll of
paper. With a manliness unusual for a
child, ho walked straight up to Madaino
M , and bowing, said: "I came to
seo you because my mother Is very sick,
nnd wo are too poor to get food and
medicine. I thought that perhaps If
you would only sing my llttlo song at
bonio of your grand conceits, may be
some publisher would buy it for a small
sum, and to I could get food and medi
cine for my mother."
The beautiful women ro-so from her
seat; very tall and stately sho was; sho
took tho little roll from his hand, and
lightly hummed the air.
"Did you composo It?" sho asked;
"you, a child? And tho words? won
derful iittlo genius I Would you like to
como to my concert?" sho asked, after
a few moments of thought.
"Oh! yes;" and the boy's bluoeyes
grew liquid with happiness; but I
couldn't leave my mother."
"I will send somebody to tnko enro
of your mother for the evening, and
hero is a crown, with which do you go
and get food 'and niedlclno. Hero is
also one of my tickets come to-night;
that will admit you to n seat near me,
My good llttlo fellow, your mother has
a treaiiuo in you."
Almost beside himself with Joy, Plcrro
bought koiiio oranges, nud many n Utllo
luxury beside, and curried them home
to tho poor Invalid, telling her, not
without tears, of Ids great good-fortune.
Never in Ids life had Pierre been In
such tv grand place. Tho music, clash
lug nnd rolling; tho myriad lights; tlio
beauty; tho Hashing of diamonds and
rustling of silks, bewildered eyes and
brain. At lat she eaino; ami the child
Kit with hisgnzo rlveled upon her glorl
ous face. Could he bellevo that tlio
grand lady nil blazing with JtW'K and
' 1 , , . ,1 tn v''l ' '"
less ho waited- the band, tho whole
baud, struck up a Utile plaintive mel
ody ; ho know it, and clapped ids hands
lor joy. And oh, how she sung 111 It
was so simple, so mournful, so soul-sub-
duing ninny a bright cyo dimmed with
tears, and nought could bo heard but the
touching words of that llttlo song oh,
so touching 1
Pierre walked home ns if lie were
moving on air. What eared he for mo
ney now? The greatest prlma-donna
in nil Europe had sung ids little song,
and thousands' had wept nt Ids grief.
The next day ho was frightened nt n
visit from Maihinio M . She laid her
hand on ills yellow curls, and turning
to the sick woman, said; "Your little
boy, madam, has brought you n fortune.
I was olfered this morning, by the best
publisher in London, three hundred
pounds for Ills little song; and after he
has realized u certain amount for tlio
sale, little Pierre hero is to slmro the
profits. Madam, thank God that your
son lias a gift from Heaven."
Tlio noble-hearted singer and tho poor
woman wept together. As to Pierre,
always mindful of lllni who watches
over tlio tried nnd tempted, ho knelt
down by ids mother's bedside mid tit
tered a simple but eloquent prayer, ask
lug Ood's blessing on tho kind lady who
had deigned to notice their aillietioii.
And the memory of that prayer made
the singer even moro tender-hearted;
ami she who was the Idol of England's
nobility, like the world's Great Master,
went nboiit doing good. And in her
early happy death, when tho grave
damps gathered over her brow, and her
eyes grew dim, ho who Ftood by her
bed, Ids bright face clothed In tho
mourning of sighs and tears, and
smoothed her pillow, and lightened lier
last moments by his undying affection,
was the little Pierre of former days,
now rich, nccumplishcd, and tho most
talented composer of the day.
