THE OHIO CROPS.
Monthly Report of the State Board of
Agriculture.

COLUMBUS, December 6.-The De-
cember crop report of the Ohio State
Board of Agriculture, based on about
900 townships returns from all the
counties in the State, gives the follow
ing State averages: Area sOwn, COM
pared with 1883, wheat "a per cent,
rye 98, barley SO. Condition compared
with full average: Wheat. SO; rye, SO;
barley, 81; farm animals, S4. The fol-
lowing are the prices paid by local buy
ers and shippers, averaged for localities
all over the State: Wheat per bushel,
"a cents; corn, 43 cents; rye, Sc cents;
oats, 30 cents; barley, II cents; buck
wheat, SO cents; potatoes, AZ cents; leaf
tobacco, 8 cents; hay, per ton, $9.66;
sorghum molasses, per gallon, 40 cents;
winter apples, per barrel, $l.53; good
steers, per cwt., live, $4.38; fat hogs,
live, 1898. The full report by counties
shows wide variation in prices in diff
ferent sections of the State, especially
in hay, corn, oats, potatoes and live
stock, and invites the special attention
of shippers and railways to the matter
of equalizing the supply for each de-
mand in the several localities. The
wide variations in the prices referred to
are owing to the local severity of the
drOuth in different parts of the State.

Plucky Boy.


Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Woodruff, of Fos-
toria, formerly of this place, have a
little l0-year-old grandson named Frank
Babcock, who is certainly plucky fell
low. His parents live in Central Kan
sas, but a couple of years ago brought
the boy to Fostoria, where he spent
some months with his grandparents,
and took great liking to them. Since
his return to Kansas his father has
obliged him to herd cattle away out on
the vast lonely plains, during the day,
all by himself, driving home his herd
at night. This the boy did not like,
and frequently complained of, when
his father would say: "Well sir, may
be you'd better 60 back to Ohio, If YOU
don't like it here" The boy felt in
jured, thought the matter over, and one
day took his father at his word, and dis
appeared. They searched the country
far and near, and finally gave the boy
up for dead. About ten days ago, the
boy walked in at his grandfather's hav-
ing walked all the way from his home
in Kansas, a distance of over 1000 miles,
having been about ten weeks on the
road. He looked somewhat tired and
worn out, but otherwise enjoying good
health. The little fellow expresses his
determination to remain with his
grandpa and grandma, hereafter.
