Reports from the middle portion OF the |
State say that last years corn in the cribs |

present situation. OF the crop, the follow |
| ing, as gathered from various sources, may !
/ be regarded as q fair one: The enormous
/ bread of small grain planted, had there
been no drawback, would have produced |
an unparalleled crop-sO much SO that,
should it be damaged to the extent OF
over one half, we should still seeare a |
I good average crop IN Iowa, WiscOn-s
sin, Nebraska and Minnesota. 1t isl

| Winter wheat in southern Illinois has |
been mainly cut. and is of AN excellent |
| quality, and though the rain hes retarded |
the stack ing, there is 40 cause for alarm. /
| Central Illinois, especially along the ILL |
/ nois Central and the Chlcago. Burlington /

i Rain has faHen in torrents, and deluges |

i of reapsng machines is entirely out of the

a tough time of 1t, wading up to their

that section should not lead any one to IN |
fer that such a state of things exists In |
| Northern Illinois. Grain looks very Well |
there, and promises a good yield. In |
regard to the corn, under the most fayOr- |
/ sble eIrcp instances, it can scarcely be ex-
pected to be more Than two-thir1s crop. !
