THE weather through the whole of the last month has been favorable to the crops of every description, and, except a very few days, has been remarkably beneficial to agricultural pursuits: Wheat has the appearance of a full crop even upon those lands where any crop at all was doubtful at the beginning of spring. The drilled and dibbled crops, at a goodsized interval, and where they have been clean hoed, look as well as in any preceding year; the flag is of a fine healthful colour, and the stem strong, but backward in earing. Barley has much recovered upon tenacious soils, and the crops upon the sands and loams are the most luxuriant and promising: nothing can exceed their appearance upon the highly cultivated breadths. Oats are breaking out into bell from a large luxuriant stem, and promise a full crop. Beans, peas, and all the legumina, are a large crop, knot well for bloom, and appear free from the fly. The soiling crops are thick set, but, from the very backward spring, have not given that early produce that was expected. The turnip fallows are very foul and backward, for want of some settled dry weather. Hops and apples have the most promising and prolific appearance. The pastures are full of grass, but the hay crop upon cold bottoms, very bad, and requires dry warm weather before there will be hold enough for the scythe.
