Fhe Wheat S;rOp.

Specials to the Herald from about 100
points in Ohio regarding the wheat crop
prospects, show general increase in
acreage ranging from 10 to 25 per cent.
though there is a slight falling off in a
few sections The winter has been fav-
orable to large yield though the
present snow is regarded with ap-
prehension if followed by sharp
frost, as has been predicted. If
no frost follows, this snow storm is
considered advantageous. On the lake
border the March frosts have done CON
siderable damage in some places. The
crop in the southern part of the State is
backward, but promises well, and the
acreage is very largely increased. In
Central Ohio the increase of acreage is
from 10 to Is per cent, and the crop is
in good condition.
