In Southern and Central Illinois the Winter wheat
has all been harvested and one characteristic OF the
wheat crop this year is that the stalks are na, nu-
merous well headed and the berry plump, which VIII
make the Weld larger than would be estimated by
casual observer A letter-writ.r thinks the wheat
crop will probably be twerey five per cent greater
than ever before grown in Illinois. Corn aud oats,
too, ere very promising.
The Toledo Blade, July g. states that " Il is now
found that in our immediate vicinity the wheat nudge
commonly designated as the weeyip has not damaged
the early and vigorous wheat whereas that iatey sowh

milk the greater the yield. Rye Will be abundant.
The Corn crop is backward, on account OF the pro-
traced wet weather this Spring Fields look uneven
and yellow. Oats appear well, and some lots are too
rank to stand until ripening. OF hay there will be an
unusual amount. Some meadows that yielded only
about one tun to toe last year, will produce three
this year.
Tie Ithaca Journal, July II, says;
"n Tompkins County the prospect for the crops was
never more hatterng. Corn Is small IN some places
but with,stout roofs and strength 10 make stlli an

From The EImira Adrertistr we learn that wheat
in that County is mcst total failure. "The fields
literally swarm with the Insignificant yet terrible de-
stoyer called weeyil whose name is SYNONYMOUS with
evil and who with its myriad armies more numerous
