satisfied with tie appearance Of the wheat
crop at this time. We have reliable infor-
nation from more than twenty counties in
southern Illinois, giving assurance that du-

March have never appeared 80 promising
as now. The growth is admirably well
set, covers the ground well, is healthy and
strong, encouraging large expectations Of
full Sranarics at the close of the season

large, and in ISL bids fair to BE- IA distin-
