that the prospects are better
than last year, and an increased
Weld is expected. Missouri reports
are to the effect that the pros
pect is better than year ago,
and that the yield promises to
exceed that of last year. The
better estimate as to Nebraska is
that the acreage of winter wheat is
fully 25 per cent. greater than last
year, ami that 20 per cent. more
spring wheat will be sown. The
condition of the winter wheat crop
is generally reported favorable. In
Kansas the acreage is reported to
be about equal to that of last year,
while the condition of the crop is
far more promising, the prospect
being above the average. Michigan
reports show the crop to be in good
condition generally throughout the
State, with slightly reduced acreage
in some localities, estimated as high
as 20 or 25 per cent. And from
other regions in the winter wheat
region the prospects are generally
reported about the average.
The chief question, and one which
has been considerably agitated, as
to the spring wheat crop, has been
as to the seed supply. There has been
division both as to whether the lighter
wheat of last year, the berry of
which was shriVeled, will terminate;
and whether if it terminates it will
yield a good crop. AS to the ques,
ton of termination, there would
seem to be small room for doubt in
view of the results of the expert
ments made in Chicago, showing
that in some instances SO per cent.
of the blighted berries terminated,
while in no instance was the per
centage less than GO. The prevail
ing opinion among the wheat men
of this city is that not more than
five per cent. of the blighted ber-
ries will fail to terminate; and that
with that much increase in the SOW
ing there need be no apprehension
of any failure on account of the
seed. In Iowa there seems to be
little apprehension as to seed wheat,
and it is reported that by screening
sufficient supply of good seed
grain can be obtained.

The Coming Wheat Crop.
Prairie Farmer.

Reports from every point in the
wheat growing region in the West
and Northwest show the condition
and prospect of the growing crop IN
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin and
Missouri in detail, by counties and
districts. With regard to the wins
ter wheat crop, the reports, almost
without exception, are favorable,
the present fine condition of the
crop being largely attributed to the
SHOWS of the past winter, which
afforded complete protection. From
Ohio, somewhat increased acreage
is reported, with most encouraging
prospects. In a comparatively few
counties there is reported some nip
ping of the plant by the
late cold snap, and some ap>
prehensions are expressed as to the
effect of the March frosts, but the
best advices indicate that an In
crease of about ten per cent. is
promised, the yield for the year be-
ing estimated at 100000 bush
els, against 100000 bushels last
year. The prospect in Kentucky
is generally reported encouraging,
and a fair increase in the yield On
last year is confidently expected d.
Ali reports from Indiana 60 to
show the excellent condition of the
CROP. The acreage seems some
what increased, on the whole, while
the prospect in the yield is estl-
mated as high as rs per cent. over
those of last year, though some ap"
prehensiOns are expressed as to the
effect of the present cold snap,

Miserable Butter.

Mr.. EDITOR: The quality of
butter now coming into our market,
for the most part, is not fit to be
put on a decent table You cant
enter a provision store in this city
and find a first class article. There
may be, possibly, an occasional sup
ply of few pounds. The great
bulk of it is miserable stuff; old,
rancid, and as white as snow. Our
citizens are everywhere complain
ing about it, and, unless they can
be furnished with a more genteel
supply, they will wait upon our
grocery dealers, and beg them to
ship a good article from New York,
or somewhere else. To be com.
PEELED to swallow the kind now
thrown upon our market by our
farmers is something more than
flesh and blood can stand.
And vet the farmers complain
that they get so low a price for
their butter. Let me say to them,
kindly and and frankly, that the
article they are now feeding US ON
is not worth five cents a pound. In
deed, consumers ought to be paid
for eating it, for it is a dose to get
it down. 1t is nauseating. 1t
ought to be forced out of the mar
ket by refusing to buy it at any
price. The grocery dealer who will do
this and purchase nothing but a
frstrate article will not only re-
ceive the spontaneous gratitude OF
our citizens, but will build up first
class business. Such house would
be patronized by very large class
of our people. Who will try 1t!
There is way of forcing our care
less and slovenly butter makers to
reform their ways in this respect.
One dealer in this city has signihed
his purpose to make a new de-
parture and to buy no butter not
coming up to the standard of ex-
cellence. Let him stick to this.
1t will pay him, and he will become
a benefactOr.
There is one farmers wife in
Knox county whose butter will
command a premium in any market
| allude to Mrs. Shannon Anderson,
six miles north of this city. She
hos M trouhla whatever in selling
it. Why? Because she makes it
right. 1t is always pure, sweet, and
as yellow as gold. 1t has real
butter taste. Mrs. Anderson is q
nice lady, knows how to handle but,
ter, and takes o large degree Of
pride in having it right. She never
complains of getting nothing for mel
butter. NOTHING MORE.

THE
KNOXVILLE CHRONICLE FOR 1879.
THE
Subscrib Tor a Good, Reliable News
paper.

Subscrib Tor a Good, Reliable News
paper.
The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three. in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party,
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infOr~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
lv correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
Of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price Of the WEEKLo
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times, In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.
