lssippi, Arkansas and Tennessee show the larg-
est gain in the South. Ohio and Indiana show
some decrease, while Illinois increases per
cent. The States west of the Mississippi river
make the largest gains as section Nebraska,
KANSAS, Iowa and Missouri all ranging from
lC4 to lis. The condition in all the Southern
States is low, on account of drouth in Texas
not over half crop. The Northern States

Iowa falls to S.. The spring wheat crop of
Kansas is but 6S. On the Pacific coast most of
the California crop is returned as spring wheat,
aid the average g. The small spring wheat
crop of Oregon is full average. The condition
