reasonably good condition is the report made

0ats-Many of the reports on this crop were
| sent in before much of the wheat was har-
vested, and the condition was perhaps much
| better at that time than later, when chinch-
bugs from the wheat fields had in many in
stances emigrated to the green and succulent
oats, which they would be likely to seriously
injure. The reports of correspondents speak
