' - Adopted by the Convention June 21, I860, THE CROPS IN THE U. STATES. Report of the Department of Agriculture N6 Danger-of Famine. ' The monthly report of the Department of Agriculture at Washington Is published. The . apprehension of scarcity of crops which might threaten compulsory economy of consumption or warrant extraordinary prices are groundless.-' From an actual analysis of statistical" returns, with due regard to the usual average product " and present losses of each State, the prospect on tbe 1st of June was for seven-tenths of a crop, with favorable weather and. absence from casual ties before harvesting, the indications point to three-fourths of average. Tbe total yield of wheat in Ohio and Indiana appears to have suf fered most from winter killing. A prospect for thirty-four 'per cent, of "a crop of winter wheat io Indiana is sufficiently discouraging. An increase of four-tenths of tbe average growth pf spring wheat will afford some relief and ought to being up the average to a half crop. Ohio ' is reported at four tenths for winter wheat, with two and a balf" tenths more for spring wheat . than usual. A very little better prospect for winter wheat than Indiana, aod not quite so large an-increase of spring wheat will giveraboul the same result half an average crop. .Illinois, now our greatest wheat growing State, promisee seven-tenths of a crop of-winter wheat. As the, spring wheat, which is the main dependence for a erop in portions of the State,' is nearly as good as usual, at least three-fourths of a crop of that should be expected in this State. In Wiscon sin the winter wheat is reported at six and one third tenths, with one and three-fourths mow spring wheat than usual, which should secure three-fourths of an average crop for this Stale. Io Iowa the appearance of winter .wheat is nine teiitbs; spring, ten and three-fourths tenths) breadth of the latter sown, twelve and one-eighth tenths. This should give at , least an average crop for Iowa. In 'Pensylvania the wheat crop is eight-tenths.. In New York vjuter wheat- eight and four-ninths tenths,' spring wheat nine and three-fifths tenths, or about eight-tenths for the crop as a whole. In Missoari a prospect, for a full crop of winter' wheat is reported, with one half-tenth or 5 per cent, more than, the usual breadth of spring wheat, looking nearly . as well as usual at this season of the year.
