SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Reports from Michigan and Indiana—Wheat, Oats, Barley and Fruit Look Splendid—Corn and Reot Crops Inferior, &c. Darxorr, June 2, 1867. I have received reports from all the principal agri- cultural districts of Michigan, as well as points on the border of Indiana, and I am gratified to learn that, taken a8. whole, the forthcoming harvest promises to be & bountiful one, Wheat, oats, rye, hay and fruit are likely to give an abundant yield, The fruit crop espe- cially promises weil. From all parts of the State returns represent the trees covered with blossoms, and a proba- bility that the yield will be so large that the limbs will Bot be able to resist the accumulating weight of the crop as it approaches maturity, The cold and rainy eeason has been very unfavorable to the production of corn, which, in the southern portion ot Michigan, is the main staple upon which farmers depend, It has also seriously af- fected the root crop, which this season has been planted fully two weeks later than usual. in all the bottom lands of this and other Western States I am informed the soil is so eaturaved with water and evaporation has been go slow that many farmers have been unable to Plant at all. Some who planted found the seed rolted instead of germinating, and planted the second time, The following reporte, which I have collected from re- Mable sources, will give # clear idea of the condition of the crops in this State, In its preparation I am much Indebted to Messrs, Bell, of the Detroit ‘and Milwaukee; Muir, of the Michigan Central; and ‘Cooper, of the, Michigan Southern and Northern Indiaua Railways, and their station agents along the linesof their Tespective roads, The following reports I have from the line of the Michigan Central railway, which includes Michigan and part of Indiana and Iiinois, About Dearborn, Michigan, the wheat crop, which is a little backward, looks very fine, and the yield is estimated at twenty-five to thirty- five bushels per acre. The season has been so wet that as yet very little corn has been planted. The weather has been unfavorable for oats, but should the weather hereafter prove fair strong hopes are entertained for a Grass prom+ The soil in this region is so damp that the Toot crop rots in the ground. The weather thus far has been very told, with’heavy falls of rain.

Hay crop promises un abundant yield, The weather has been too severe this Spring for corn and other late crops. In the neighborhood of Quincy, Michigan, not much wheat bas been sown; but such as is in the croand wiil give about nineteen bushels to the acre. Corn has not Yet beon planted to any considerable extent, Apples pr-mise an abundant crop, Indeod, all fruit looks re- markably weil, The grass crop will be an average one, good yield, The grass crop is reported to have never From Sturgis, Michigan, my reports show a good yield looked better in this locality, The chances for root [tle mes Laberge em — a Aerts The corn Pp is a failure so far, Outs look well, Rye and barley crops are fair.

From Grass Lake, Michigan, I learn that very little spring wheat has been sown, and the winter wheat looks tolerably well. But small quantities of oats, barley aod Tyo havo been sown as yet. The fruit crop looks fine and promises a large yield. The same may be said of hay, which at present presents a fine appearance. The root crop has not yet been planted, the soil is so wet, The corn crop will be light, as the damp weather has prevented farmers planting until late in the season, Reports {rom Ostend, Michigan, represent no spring wheat Planted, ‘The winter wueat is {air and the proba- bie yield will be about fifte:n bushels per acre. Corn is backward, but as the weather is now fine farmers have hopes fora medium crop. Oats have only been planted a few days, and it is impossible to judge of its success, Very little rye and barley planted. Fruit of all kinds looks weil and a bountiful yield is promised. The same report is made of hay. The root crop has just been put in and no estimate can be made of the ee ‘the wea- ther has been unusually wet and cold, (uch of the corn has been ruined, while many farmers on bottom land have not been able to plant corn, About Buchanan, Michi the yield of fall wheat racre, The majority of will be about twenty bushel farmet planted corn, but as the wea- i ts itis Lae ggrgr P ue ne and the prospect ir for @ good crop.

The average yield per acre is about fifteen bushels, Grn is very backward, and anticipated, The hay crop wil be fully up to that of Jast year, and the root crop is prospering. The season Bas been late and unfavorable to root crops and corn. The ageut at Jonesville, Michigan, says the wheat looks fair, and will probably yield from twenty to thirty bushels por acre, The corn is not yet in the ground. Oats, rye and barley are but little cultivated, but will give an average yield. he fruit will be abundant from Present appearances. The trees are 80 heavily covered with blossoms that should half of them produce the trees will be broken down with the weight of the fruit, Hay looks well, and the root crop will be average, From Carhsie, Indiana, I learn that the winter wheat will probably produce an extra crop of from sixteen to eighteen bushels per acro. No spring wheat has been Planted, orn will likely be a failure, as the soil is so damp that it has rotted the seed. Oats, barley and rye are reported good. Apples, peaches, cherries a fine crop. Hay will be abundant, About Elkhart, Indiana, the crops generally promise Well, excepting corn, Wheat presents a gratifying ap- pearance, and the yield will be about tweuty to twenty- five bushels per acre, Corn is backward, and but just now beginning to sprout. There is but little oats, bar- Jey aad rye raised ere, but it looks well. Apples will be abundant, but the peaches will be sbort, as the trees were nearly all killed by the severe frosts. Cherries will bo a big crop. Grass looks fine, and stock are grow- ing fat.
