Illinois and the crop secured in excellent condition In
the southern part Of the State the yield 10 much bstter
than usual and promises large return TO the farmer
in the middle section the crop 10 generally light but the

fall greatly below that harvested In former years The
oats corn and hay look well, and promise to be most

districts doubtful whether 1t quite reaches the usual
mark Upon the whole considering its good quality
the large amount sownand the tring loss sustained In
getting it in the wheat harvest in Illinois and Missouri
may not improbaby be found to yield in good whole
some brsadstu nearly much as the best crops
