Ite- The Chicago Tribune speaking Of the grain CT
the of the Northwest says:
lile The Winter wheat crop is generally better
/ a quality and heavier in yield than for two ye
'lp- past In some portions of Illinois and Indiana
On yield is much above an average, while in oil
uai parts of those States and in spots throughout Mi
au,- gan il is light In central Illinois aud in TndiS
rains have fallen almost every day fora week,
me fears are entertained that the crops will be da
SUIT aged in the shock but our dispatches genera
anR agree In stating that should the weather imprG
ger from this time, the crop will be mostly saved
per good condition. In Michigan much Of the Win
anh wheat was winter-killed; but we have not ms
aus complaints Of this character from Illinois or ID
IN, ana. Frop the evidence before us we she
judge that the quality of the crop In the two lat
. Wy States is much better than that Of last yea
seo, while the yield Is heavier.
aa In Illinois, Winter wheat for several years p
esp' has been very uncertain crop, and the breai
ning sown rs comparatively small; but If the pres
ent crop Is harvested in good condition, farmers
cry DC encouraged to SOW more largely Of it next Fl
hrst With regard 10 spring wheat, our adYices nea
y to all 20 10 indicate heavy yield and excell
de- quail ty. In Iowa the crop is reported to be b
The ter in all respects than ever before and we hi
It on very little complaint as to condition from d
the quarter. The harvesting Of the spring wheat
Al Of commenced in various portions ofIllineis,
and there are some fears expressed regarding
a OF elect Of the recent rains but there is not mu
ming room for doubt that, should the weather chan
for the better the crop will be large and GU
nues For several years past the spring wheat in No
Is IN efn lnos has been rather uncertain as rega
quality and yield; but this year we have less CO
only plant than usual
4 in Although our advices from Wisconsin and N
nesota are not Of so recent q date 80 those fl
66f Illinois. we have every reason tn believe that
sent crop of spring whest in these States will be Y
the heavy, bUth IS regards quality and yield. The
ther cent rains cannot have affected the crop in th
