Wheat Proapec,s for 1873.

WASHINGTON, April "a. The following
is the summary condition of the winter
wheat, Just published from the Agri.
cultural Department: On the first week
OF April a considerable portion Of the
northern belt Of the winter wheat area was
covered with snow. The condition Of
that visible gave promise ol q general ex.
emption from winter injury, leaving the
crop subject to the meteorological Vicist.
tudes Of April. In the Middle States a
great improvement upon the showing oI
last spring Is everywhere conceded, es.
pecially in New Jersey and Pennsyl'
vania. The prospect in the States
south Of Maryland is less favorable
than last year and there are indica'
tions OF diminishing area in
the Cotton States, although the acreage
is not intended to be given in this report
Michigan, the only State Of the northern
border in which winter wheat is mainly
grown, presents green and vigorous
growth wherever the snow has disap-
peared to reveal 1t, and Ohio makes far
more favorable returns than last year.
In Kentucky more Checkered showing
Is made, giving the present q decidedly
unfaVorable cast, with indications Of fu-
ture Improvement as the weather becomes
settled. In Indiana and Illinois tbs un-
favorable returns outnumbered the rose
colored, and the dry autumn re-
tarded seeding and termination, and lett
the plants too weak and shallow rooted
to endorse well the effects Of the changes
of temperature. Similar causes effect
the condition OF the wheat In MisSou-
ri. But great improvement over last year
Is reported, and still more favorable
condition exists in Kansas, in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. As far
as is known very little winter wheat Is
produced, but full reports are given OF
Of such experiments: The indications
from California all point 10 another year
of great abundance. Scarcely coun'
ty reports an unfaVorable condition, as
the whole Of the wheat crop presents
at the close Of the winter, and Is more
favorable than at the same date in 1879.

wealth so immense that neither Boston nor Balti-
more could be able 10 keep pace with her if the
energies of her industrious people were turned in
this direction.
That her late efforts were caused by the success
