The Crop Report.
The crop reports of September, re-
ceiyed in the statistical division OF the
Department Of Agriculture, present IAN
average of ninety-tive for the condition
of the wheat crop as whole, which is
about the came IS in the September re-
port Of 1872, While the preseut area in
cultivation is much larger, there is a
manifest improvement over last year IN
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kan
sas Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. The averages OF Illinois. Iowa,
and Michigan differ little from those OF
1872 California and Indiana are less
favored. The States in which there l8
more than an average yield OF wheat
per acre are indicated by the Septem-
ber report as follows: Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Nebraska and Oregon, IN
the West, and New Jersey, Penusylva-
mia, Connecticut and Massachusetts, in
the East. The increased breadths IN
wheat will place the total quantity IN
several other States above the usual
production and give larger aggregate
for the United States than was seWed IN
1872. The quality is generally
superior and in most locations grain
Yields better than was expected. In
New York thirty-three counties out OF
thirty.five reported, make returns OF
an average of poor yields, and every
southern State fails to make an aver
age crop. Iowa claims an average
Weld upon large area. Kansas,
Ohio and Michigan, come very near
an average yield. Illinois reports IN
dicate seven per cent less than an av-
erage, and Indiana and KentHcky "
still greater depreciation. The facts
presented by the correspondents show
conclusively that the crop deterlora'
tion from climatic causes, is greatly in
creased by careless husbandry, and that
the crop failures are in q measure
avoidable. Much OF the loss from rust
and blight, and even from lnsect7, Is
directly tracesble to low vitality, result
ing from an imperfect prepai alton OF
the coil and deficient cultivation. liz
all parts OF the country, especially n
the South, the records OF sk,iiuI cuI-
ture OF wheat, show repeatedly double
the usual average yield.
