Sir* "John Li'pge, of Bluns- hard, sajs ho has not, during hu thirty jears of resideuce in On tario, si en the crops generally in a ~uioro tnuwng eouihtiou. Vrom neaely ill sections of tho eountiy i heard the cheering re port that the crops art) very good, fir above what they were last year, and above a good average. These rsports aro not only satisfactory, but they aro stimulating an in creased income of the farmer, and therefore ability to expand more, the volume of their business will be greatly increased. 4 The Osbawa Reformer say*: From all aectiona of the country the news of the crops is most en con raging. To1begin at home, we were.informed by a prominent far- Pier m Etst Whitby that the bailey crop,3s as good as it has been for ten years, and he declared that if rain carae in three or four d\s the other cereals would be placed beyond doubt of a good aver age yield. That night a nice hower fell, and since then the weather hus been delightfully cool and faYor&blf, so that now all that ia wanted is gooi harvest weather. Parties who bar* been in Western Ontario giro glowing report* of the crops, and the same news comet from the east. * So far Veunor ba* been as fir astray in bis forecast of July as he was with February, and t u to be- hoped that the month will continue to disappoint that clerk of the weather to the end.
