fishes reports from different sections of the
country, indicating that the wheat crop in
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Ten
nessee viii be less than an average, while in
Southern Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota

cotton and tobacco plants in Tennes-
see, South Carolina and Virginia had
been injured by frost, and in those States, as
well as Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, the fruit
crop will be essentially failure. The great
fruit regions of Southern Illinois and West
ern Michigan have also suffered, and the
yield of peaches, pears, apples and berries
will be small. Oats and clover have been
