The turnip-sowing, though late, has been effected under very favourable circumstances, and the plant in general is good. Cole seed or rape, has been well secured, the crop about an average one, the price, however, in common with that of all agricultural productions, ruinously low. Fields of oats, rye, and in some few instances of wheat, were reaped as early as the 10th ult., and the harvest very generally commenced on the 22d: the wheat crop we learn from all parts of the kingdom is unusually fine; but, on strong lands where the corn is layed, we have witnessed some appearance of the mildew; if, however, the precaution be pursued, of reaping the wheats affected, so soon as they will bear the sickle, (even when the straw is quite green,) we do not apprehend much injury to the grain. Spring corn will certainly fall very far short in produce to the crop of the two last years; but this, if partially distressing, we are inclined to believe will prove beneficial rather than otherwise to the farmers at large; since, although the opinion may have been much cavilled at and ridiculed, there now scarcely remains room for a doubt, but that the grand cause of our difficulties has arisen from the excess of the supply beyond the demand. Seed tares are good, and the clovers appear to blossom well. Potatoes on peaty, alluvial soils are showing abundant top, but upon dry soils they have been greatly checked by the drought of the last month. The fallowing business from the same cause was much retarded; the implements, however, since the rain] have worked with the best possible effect, and the fallows in well-farmed districts are lying in capital order. From the probable deficiency in the ensuing crop, barley, oats, beans, and peas, have each obtained somewhat higher prices, but there is very little spirit in the trade. Hay is cheaper. |
