THE WHEAT CROP.
The table given below, giving the yield
OF the United States, is based on some 1000
reports as to the condition and outturn of
wheat in the principal cereal-growing
States of the United States. These returns
point to an increased yield over that of 1881
of20 per cent, due to the increase of acre
age and the improved yield. Last year the
reported at 40, DOC, 900 bushels. This year it
Is As, 500, 900 bushels. In Illinois, the quail
ity OF wheat Is much better than the aver
age, and has seldom, if ever, graded more
uniformly high throughout Illinois. The
crop was saved in good condition and either
threshed or stacked Immediately after har
vest. The wheat acreage of Ohio, the first
of the Western States in geographical order
does not differ materially from the area
sOwn last year. On an increased acreage
the wheat fields of Michigan promised most
abundant results up to July 81, when rain
of almost uneXampled severity set in. A
considerable portion of the wheat in the
two lower tier of counties was yet in shock.
Indiana, although not the first, continues to
be great wheat-producing State. The re-
turns as to acreage show some reduction as
compared with last year. Wisconsin re-
ports are generally favorable, and point to
a large yield per acre. Returns from Min
neapOlis from week to week, which have
been fairly complete, indicate an unusually
large yield of wheat per acre in Minnesota
and Dakota. But for loss in acreage, the
yield in Minnesota would be still further
ahead of previous years. AS threshing is
only now getting under way, the estimates
for Minnesota and Dakota may be changed
under revision. Kentucky, which is class
ed as a Western State, reports the largest
yield of wheat i'll its history. The follow
ing is the wheat Yield by States for 1882:
