WASHINGTON, April 10,--The department
OF agriculture reports the condition of the
winter grain crop on the LIST of April as
follows. Over its entire breadth in Michi.
gan and other northern territory IL was
still covered with snow. In the Ohio valley
winter protection had been partial, varying
from three to ten weeks, after which the
loss from freezing was quite general. The
average depreciation is greater in the upper
part OF the Ohio valley and in Kansas than
elsewhere. East of the Alleghenies the
condition is good. 1t Is not up to
the average in any part of
the south. The average for the crop

The most observing reporters have exam.
med the roots, and in many cases found

real condition is less unpromising than il
seems. The average of condition in the
states of large production are: New York,
l0li Pennsylvania, 90; Ohio. 20; Kentucky,

the quantity OF seed used per acre indicate
a tendency to thin seed-ten years ago
about six pecks TO the acre were used, now
less than five and half. In the winter
wheat region the increasing use of the drill
admits of this economy. The acreage of
winter rye is 80 per cent. OF last year !;
