abundantly. No grasshoppers this year.

WISCONSIN.
| Milwaukee, Aug 10-The Sentinel to-
morrow publishes crop reports from thir-
| tv of the most important counties in the
State. Winter wheat is now nearly all
harvested, and shows a splendid crop; in
many portions of the State the best ever
known. The acreage sown, taken as
whole, is fully up to the average, while
more bushels to the acre are realized
than anticipated. Spring wheat will be
more than usual. In many places the
chinch bug has destroyed whole fields,
but this is compensated for by the exces
sive growth in other localities. Rye
will be a fair crop. 1t is noticed in the
t reports that in some places the chlnch
. BUG has attacked this crop, which is un
usual Oats weld an abundant harvest.
Owing to the high price OF feed last year,
