taken together 40 reportsl, an increase amount

case ofthis crop it would be better could we
compare this years crop with that of last year
instead of the five years past Ut reporters fol-

particularly The prospects OF the crops IN
Ohio and Indiana, are better than average in IL
linois little below and in Iowa, Just about av-
