THE OUTLOOK.
Row the Reports Come up from the
Winter Wheat Fields.

/ The following condensed report OF
! the present condition and prospect ol
| the wheat crop has been made by r.
S. Mccormick & Co., from return.
made up by their numerous cores
pondents throughout the country.
This report, as to the winter wheat,
IS made up to April Is, 1852.
1llinois-The most hattering re-
ports are received as to the prospects
in this State. with very few except
ions. Some complaint is made on
account of a portion OF the wheat
being winter killed or injured by the
high water, but these. cases are so
rare we feel safe in saying there has
been no better prospects in wears
than at the present time for a boun-
tiful yield. The acreage is five to
seven per ceut. less than last year
and harvest can be expected from
the 10th of June to the Ist of July,
depending on the locality.
Missouri-Answers to our in
quiries in this State abound in such
expressions as ''No. T. ''excellent,'
''never better,' very promising"
and Large CROP" leaving us at a
loss to pick out any locality where
there seems to be real cause for CON-
plant. The acreage, we think, will
be little less than 1851, and har-
vesters at work from the 10th to the
c7th of June.
Indiana-Reports from this State
are somewhat conflicting, but, after
careful examination, we are led to
believe the damage is almost ex-
clusively IN the northern and central
counties, and even there of no very
serious nature, say 10 to 20 per cent.
AS whole, the outlook IS very
flattering. Some increase is shown
in acreage. Harvest is expected IN
the northern portion about June 26,
and in the southern about the 10th to
18th.
Ohio-More or less complaint is
heard from nearly the entire State
as to the damage by frost, and in
some localities by the '.fy."
Judging from reports received we
would say the crop was probably |
injured ten to fifteen per cent, with
an average about the same as last
year. harvest in the southern district,
June 18th; northern, July Ist.
kansas-We will not take up the |
time of our friends entering into de-
tails here, as the stereotyped eply |
to all our inquiries is ''Never Bet
ter In the older districts the acre
age has decreased; in the newer
ones this loss is fully made up.
Harvest from 5th to Goth of June.
Michigan-Has but one answer
to make, '.Very promising, with
slight increase in acreage, and :ar-
vest abont the 18TH OF July.
Kentucky-Prospects good. Acre
age increased about twenty per cent.
Harvest June 10th.
Tennessee-Very fattering. In
,reage OF acreage, ten per cent.
Harvest June 10th.
Tcxas-As a whole not over half
, crop some increase in acreage.
Harvest May 18th to June 1st.
New York-Roports a good deal
of injury from frost.
Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Del
lware and Maryland-all advise the
inc propects.
Pensvlvania-Largely, good.
Some few complaints, but SO far not
If serious nature.
CaIifornia-Eas an acreage IN
wheat this year of 3,o5I.4So acres.
