CROPS - We are informed that the grain crop throughout this and Santa Clara counties will this year turn out remarkably fine, and will not be excelled in the State. In some fields, however, a somewhat strange blight has fallen upon portions of the grain, and where, too, it would seem to be most sheltered. Its effect is to deaden, and deprive of the grain, about a half-inch of the top of each head. Its cause is not yet fully determined. Hay is remarkably good, no better crop having been made in a number of years. It is being shipped off very fast, and there is no doubt that hay will command a high price this Fall.
