"A report Of the Bureau Of Agricul-

facts concerning the prospectso of the grain
crops: Winter wheat, mostly homestead,
of 1853 counties from which reports have
been received, 202 are above the average
16S average. and 371 below. OF 800
counties reporting spring wheat, lO1 are
above the average. lis average, and 6S
below. The average of winter wheat, is
somewhat increased, though many fields
have been winter killed. and plowed up
for spring wheel and other crops. The
average Of wheat is very largely increased
and especially in the northwest is unusu.
ally promising. The indications Of the
crops of 1878 are considered at least
equal to those of June, 1879, when the
department estimated the prospective crop
at 220, ,O00, 900 bushels, The subsequent
condidition of the growth raised the esti-
mate of the year in the annual report of
1872 (not yet published), to 246, ,967, ,020
bushels. With equally favorable condi-
tions the yield may be safely set down at
50,000.000 bushels. Insect ravages,
however,, are reported in spring wheat, in
dicating serious loss in some localities.
There is an increased acreage of oats
and rye, and these crops are both in fair
condition in most sections of the country.
