ricultural Department..

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The June re-
port of statistician of the Department Of Ag-
riculture, now in press, is exhaustive in its
treatment Of wheat statistics. Il is based
upon reports from 903 counties, of which
1879 indicate an average condition; 270
higher than the average. and 434 low con-
dition, ranging from 100-the standard of
a medium prospect-down to 10, and few
cases down to an entire failure
The State averages are calculated not SIM
ply from the number of COUNTIES reported,
but from the comparative production Of the
several counties. These 903 reports include
very large proportion of the wheat area of
the country. The summary of the returns
shows a reduction of two per cent from that
of 1871.
The condition Of the predominant variety
