BY THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

1. PRINCIPAL CROPS.-Wheat, corn, oats, hay, barley and rye. 2. WHEAT. Usual average yield per acre, 15 bushels-the past season, 25 bushels. The diseases most injurious to the crop, are the fly and rust. There has been no preventive found against the fly. It is supposed by some, that, by covering the grain deep, it recovers better from the attacks of the fly-that, if the stalk is injured, it will sprout again from the root. The most effectual remedy against the rust, is to sow early ripening varieties, such as Mediterranean, Etrurian, Kentucky, and Soule wheat, all of which are now sown. The Mediterranean, however, does not meet with favor, owing to the difficulty of harvesting, particularly in unfavorable weather, and the reduction in the price of it, which is generally from two to three cents below other varieties. The Blue-chaff and Blue-stem appear to be the standard varieties, and found to produce the largest yield, in favorable seasons. The Etrurian, Kentucky, and Soule, (white wheats)

are getting much in favor, and command a little better price than red wheats. The probable amount produced the present season, is one million bushels. There has been a large proportion of the wheat drilled by machines, this fall-there was some sown in that way last year, which was much improved by those who tried it. The yield is supposed to be greater, if not, is fully equal to the broad cast sowing, and considerable seed saved. Time and labor are also saved in putting in the crop, and the seed is more equally distributed over the ground.

3. CORN. Usual average yield per acre, 50 bushels on bottom land, 30 bushels on upland; the yield this year is above the average-being about 50 bushels per acre, throughout the county. Yellow gourd seed and white are the kinds grown. The crop is principally sold to merchants for shipping, and fed to hogs and cattle. Price per bushel, 28 to 35 cents.

4. OATS.-Usual average yield 30 bushels per acre-not more than 20 bushels the past season. Is often injured by drouth or wet, being of quick and luxuriant growth, requires a favorable season to ensure a good crop. Price, 35 cents per bushel.

5. Rye and BarLEY.-Usual yield per acre, rye, 12 bushels, barley, 25 to 30 bushels. There is little of either grown. Usual price of rye, 37, barley, 50 cents; price this season, rye, 50, barley, 75 cts.

6. GRASS AND HAY.-Usual average yield, 1 tons per acre; the present season, 1 ton per acre. The failure is general, not confined to any particular soil; may be prevented by irrigation where practicable. Usual price, per ton, $4 to $5; present price, $7 to 88.

7. ROOT CROPS.-Average yield of potatoes 100 bushels per acre. This year's crop about an average yield. Long red, Mercer and Pink Eyes principal varieties-last two best for table use. The rot, worse than ever before known, has destroyed one-half the crop since dug. Best mode of culture, manure, and turn down a heavy sod, and plant on the top. No means yet discovered to prevent rot.

8. FRUIT.-There has been a great improvement in the quality of apples and peaches lately. A good crop this season. Considerable quantities are dried for export.

9. SEEDS.-Amount of clover seed grown annually about 1,000 bushels. But little timothy or flax seed grown. Average yield per
