iustihes the conclusion that the yield OF straw
will be much larger than of grain,
The New York Commercial Bulletin publishes
an exhaustive report on the wheat crop, from
which very encouraging conclusions can be
drawn. Reports from 277 counties in the states
of Illinois Missouri, Ohio, Indiana Michigan
Iowa. Wisconsin. Kentucky and Kansas are to
the effect that in but As Is the winter crop likely
to fall below the average While IN the other ~
acreage Of winter wheat is considerably above
that of former years, but that OF spring wheat
which is small crop at all times, shows rather
falling off in acreage, while the yield is likely
to he equally rs good as that planted In the WIN.

spring wheat seems to be due entirely 10 large
