Crop Prospects In the East.

CHICAGO. Ills, May 20.-Crop reports
received by the Farmers Review up TO
May 10Th are to the effect that the con-
ditions for both wheat and corn are bet
ter, but the general situation is by no
means reassuring as yet. Winter wheat
is beginning to head and spring wheat
is growing well, with generally good
prospects. In Illinois certain sections
report improved Indications for winter,
but the crops for the State at
large promises to fall short of
fair average. The spring wheat prospects
in Iowa are fair, but corn planting 10
greatly delayed. In Michigan the pros.
poets are for small wheat crop and the
harvest two weeks lato. In Minnesota
and Wisconsin the wheat prospects have
improved in the last two weeks Ken.
lucky and Tennessee report improved
wheat crop prospects. While certain
counties in Kansas predict not to exceed
half crop, other counties of Kansas
continue to send in very favorable re-
ports. Ohio and Indiana report fair
prospects only for wheat in certain sec
tions. Missouri is reported to be in fear
Of uhinch bugs. Dakota prospects are
very promising.

RIf any reader, whose eye shall
meet this, wants cherry, bright, re-
igious paper, we advise him to send
90 SO at once to the Christian Intel
igencer, New York, and give it q
trial. 'sThe Inteiligencer" is healthy,
bright and stimulating. Try it in
your home for year, and see how
the old folks and the young folks and
the middle-aged folks like it. Boys
and girls reading the Christian Intel
hgencer viii not seek the fashy litera-
ture of the day; and they will learn
that religious reading need nof be
dull. Try the sIntelligeneer" and
see If it is not so.
