vance sheets Of Jhe June crop published
b2 the State Boar. OF Agriculture, il is
shown that the estimated increase Of
corn acreage over 1882 IS 8 per oontp
making the corn area this yoac over
seven and 4 balI millions Of acres. The
condition indicates 4 thcee-ioUrtAs ay-
erage yield, or IGS,751,0o0 bushels less
than the crop oi-I95z. In jhe northern
counties hopac cent IS placed as 50, or
somewhat batter than last season. In
southern Illinois the outlook Is about
the same as last year. The condition
of winter wheat prospects IS not so good

IS sixteen millions of bushels. Oats are
fully up to the average condition and
the prospective yield IS one hundred
million bushels. Rye, fax and barley
have fallen off ten percent. in acreage.
There viii be 100,O00 acres of Irish po-

many of the male sex will take sly
peep into that part of the fashions to
find out what is "chic" for special oc-
