CINCINNATI, July IA continuation OF
fair weather with good midsummer tenn
perature and not too much rain, has made
the present week one Of the most favorable

DETROIT, July 14.-Crop reports have
been received at the Office OF the Secretary
of State from nine hundred and two cores
pondents in Michigan, representing six
hundred and eighty.five townships. Two
hundred and fifty.six Of the returns are
from three hundred and eighty:nine town
ships, the four Southern tiers OF counties.
The crop and stock reports returned by the
supervisors show the number OF acres of
wheat harvested in 1881 was l,t69, ,io5,
yielding 2Ol73,41l bushels. The total
number of acres Of wheat in the ground
to be harvested this year, when the assess
ments were taken, was ,7lS,l55, and the
total vield in tho State this year as shown
by the figures at hand, will be 81, 1884
bushels or an aversge of lsh bushels per
acre. Owing to the hackwardness OF the
season harvest begun from ten TO twenty
days later than usual. The presence OF the
Hessian fly and other insect pests Is re-
ported in some sections but tits probable
they will only slightly reduce the aggregate
products According TO estimates only
about three per cent Of the old crop OF
wheat yet remains in the hands Of the
farmers.
