AGRICULTURAL Recommendations Re-
PORT We are indebted to Hon. J. w.
stokes, Acting Commissioner, for the Nav
aud June Report of the Agricultural Bureau.
We copy the general summing up in regard
to the condition and prospects of the crops ::
Whedt-Rarely has season been noted
IN which so few complaints have been utter
ed 10y farmers, and so much cheerfuluess ex-
pressed In view of the prospect for a heat
crop Few of our correspondents make apv
mention Of winter killing, of insects, or of
rust, In some parts of the south there has
been slime complaint of rust but ithas been
mainly confined to the leaf, while the grain
was SO ripe as. not to be liable to attack
The harvest has been gathered in Georgia
and the other Cult States, with very graf
flying result.
The acreage Of winter wheat is as large
IN majority Of the States as last year,
though 1t is less in few of the PRINCIPAL
wheat-growing States. Texas, Kansas, Ohio.
Indiana, report diminished acreage Vir.
ginia, Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee.a large.
| y increased breadth; the New England
states show slight increase; the middle
states d similar advance. not exceeding six
per cent; the southern eat-growing States
aa average increase of twenty per cent.
IN point OF condition, the facts are still
more encourag ing. Ohio reports an average
improvement upon last year of 16O per cent;
Indiana, 73 per cent; Illinois, Is Der cent ::
Michigan, so per cent. Wisconsin, % per
cent; Minnesota per cent; Missouri, 80
per cent; kentucky 50 per cent; Virginia,
100 per cent; North Carolipa, 40 per cent ,
tennessee, SO per cent; and other States,
with the exception only of Texas, making
favorable comparison with last year
The acreage of spring wheat is largely in
creased; i'll Ohio, 81 per cent; in Indiana,
4S per cent; in Illinois, % per cent; III
Minnesota, 30 per cent; in Wisconsin, Is
per cent; in Michigan Is per cent, in Mis-
souri, 81 per cent; in Iowa, % per cent;
in Kansas, 80 per cent; in Nebraska, 80
per cent. This increase of breadth. in the
wheat growing region must tell very percep.
tibly upon the aggregate yield, if no unu-
suaI casualty awaits the maturing crop.
1t Is quite too early to estimate in bush
els the final result of the harvest, If the
conditions continue favorable, however at
least two hundred Millions of bushels NAV
be expected in all the States and Terri
tories
BGrtey.-An average acreage of winter
barley has been sown in a maiority of the
States. A decrease of five per cent, is esti-
mated for New York; Ohio, eight per cent;
Indiana, three per cent; an increase in Ten
nessee of ten per cent; aud in Arkansas of
twenty five. On the whole there is a very
slightly diminished breadth Of winter bar
ley but the increase Of the sp,ing sowing
will compensate for the deficiency.
Clo0er The condition of clover is GOOD
throughout the country-unusually fine in
Ohio and the middle ana New England
States in Pennsylvania it is somewhat bet
ter than in New York, and in Maine and
Massachusetts comparatively more flourish
ing, as compared with last year. than in the
remainder of New England
Oots.-The acreage of oats is larger than
usual in the west Ohio is the only State
which cannot show an increase. TIE crop
is somewhat variable in condition; in the
south, far above an average; in New York,
ten per cent below; in Pennsylvania, six
per cent; in Kentucky, fourteen per cent.
In the west generally the prospect is better
Wo0J-In the principal ol.producing
States, as will be seen. but a small quantity
of wool is yet on hand
