The Farm

Corn wül net be au average erop any where, and in a considerable number of districts the farmers do not expect to get more than half erop, warm weatber, even at this late day, would matenally reduce the loss. The corn erop of the United States in 1880 was 1,537,535,940 bushels, whieh was a slight reduetion from the erop of the previous year. In 1881 the erop feil to 1,195,916,000 bushels, a reduetion of ono-fourth, and dispatches indícate it may be serious, as that would cut it down to about 900,000,000 bushels. In all localities corn is very backward. The iact remains that last year's erop was a large reduction from those of the two previous, and it is certain that this year's erop will not come up totïatof last year. Wheat prospects are ïnuch more encouraging, though they are not all that was hoped for early in the season. There is considerable reduction in the acreage of wheat in Iowa, Wisconsin and some parts of Minnesota, but in other parta of the last State and in Dakota and in Nebraska there have been large additions to the area. The same is true of some other localities. In Iowa and Washington what wheat there is is promising well.
