prospects for crop of winter wheat in this
part of the state: "The condition of winter
wheat in Southern Illinois, where nearly
two-thirds of the wheat of the state is pro-
duced, promises three per cent. more than
an average yield per acre. The prospects
are encouraging for much more than an
average yield per acre in Clinton, Jackson,
