WHEAT AND RyE.-April returns to the
Department Of Agriculture show that the
average Of Winter wheat is about n and
one-half per cent. greater than last year.
This increase is due mostly to the transfer
of spring sowings TO fall sowings in the
West and Northwest. Unless spring SOW
ings increase beyond present expectations,
there will be 9 reduced aggregate Of wheat
acreage in 1879. The wheat in the ground.
taken as a whole, is about two per cent.
below the average. The crops in some
sections was unfavorably affected by the
fall drought. and in others by the absence
OF snow during extreme winter cold.
With average growing conditions. howev-
er. it will make a very large crop OF win
ter wheat Rye has fallen off about four
per cent. in acreage, and is about four per
cent below the average. II follows the
general snalogies of the wheat crop.
