Primes last crop report says: The only
setback 10 the general crop improvement
10 the northwest comes 10 US from northern
Minnesota and Dakota. The spring wheat
crop was in q very backward state when
the dry hot weather struck IL, and IL is very
doubtful now. with even the rains which
have since fallen. N this crop will come up
20 an average. Hence tits very plainly TO
be seen that the increase In yield OF spring
wheat will not make mp the shortage OF the
winter wheat
Corn and grass continue 10 do well and
improve. The weather has been very ia
vorsble for them In every respect. In Kan
sas corn in many counties to-day lis six
feet high" In Nebraska, while the gen.
eral average IL good, this crop is very I'M
even. In Missouri the corn is late, but is
now doing well. In Illinois and Iowa corn
IL nov growing very. fast, and is doing
much better than at this date IN l6sZ. ONO
and Indiana are also doing well. In Ten.
bessee and Kentucky also find improved
prospects, With all this present hne out
look the season must prove exceptional IN
order that the crop may mature before
frost. Corn cultivation has now closed Tor
1888. The crop Il left In reasonably good
order. The baying season and the late
winter wheat harvest are nov on" The
weather this week has been good for cutting
and curing grass. The states Of Illinois
and lows are very fist seeding
down their lands into tame
erase. and either pssturing them with
osttls and hogs or grazing them Tor dairy
purposes. i think an our oloer western
states that We have reached the seme OF
corn cultivation. stock-growers prefer 20
huy their corn ami use their lands for pas
furs.
