The crop report received at Chicago from
the various State Boards, Agricultural and
Statistical agents that the general condition

cellent for Spring wheat. In Minnesota all
the counties report wheat as lOking fine,
with the exception of one or two counties
where the average yield is estimated will
fall below that of last year. Reports from
Iowa indicate only an average prospect for
wheat and corn. A majority of the Ohio
reports are not such as to indicate anything
more than fair wheat crop. Indiana has
the promise of an average crop except in
the Southern portion of the State VIII ere
the outlook it indeed gloomy. The same
is true of Illinois. Iowa reports good wheat
and corn prospects. The wheat yield OF
Kansas promises to be very large. The
wheat prospects in Kentucky are not as
. promising as year ago. In Missouri an
average crop is predicted, and farmers gen
orally are delivering their surplus stocks OF
f wheat and corn freely.
