Wheat-The Outlook not Ea-
cOurAging.


Specials from Chicago to the Gin.
Uinuati papers, from the principal
points Of the winter wheat growing
section are not encouraging, for the
abundant harvest claimed. The Sc.
we're and continuous cold is fatal to
wheat not favored with considerable
snow. Large areas where the snow
is light, have been winter killed.
There are q few localities which
might have escaped The winter, that
are injured by the fly.
In Ohio the outlook is declared en-.
Couraging. Good judges estimate
that the crop will be 10 per cent Of
last year, others think it viii not ex.
coed 80 per cent.
In Illinois the prospects in vari.
Gus localities inspected is generally
damaged by the frost.
In some sections the injury is
slight, The loss is variously estima.
ted at from 10 to 30 per cent.
In Wisconsin considerable of the
crop ofwinter wheat lie killed. Ia.
vorable weather is necessary to in.
sure the remainder.
In Missouri, Kansas and Iowa the
returns are more favorable, especial.
ly the Missouri reports are now very
encouraging,
The Pacific coast gives the fairest
estimate. The total wheat belt
promises Is per cent of an average
crop.
