Crop Prospects.

TOLEDO, May /.
The Blade publishes this afternoon a
comprehensive crop report, gathered
from observation in about 800 counties
in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Missouri. The tenor of all the re-
ports is highly gratifying, In all the
wheat-growing districts the prospect is
usually good-better than has been
known for years. Many call it the best
ever known. There was but little, il any
winter killing. Preparations arc making
everywhere for the planting of an un'
commonly large acreage OF corn. The
recent heavy rains have interfered some
what with planting, however. There
does not seem TO be as general a disposi-
ton to SOW oats as might have been I'M
agined, and the acreage will be smaller
than usual. The meadows everywhere
look well and the hay prospects are fine.
Apples and small fruits will be abundant
everywhere except in few places, where
the hail storms have done some damage.
A Apartial crop of peaches is expected in
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, but the
reports from Michigan are discouraging.
