IOIION.
WASHINGTON, June l0.-The June
report Of the department OF agriculture
will make an increase in the cotton
area Of from to 8 per cent; Virginia,
l07 per cent; North Caroline, 1902;
South Carolina, 1903; Georgia,
l04; Florida, lO2; Alabama,
l03; Louisiana, 10Y; Mississippi 1,

Tennessee, l0l.
The total area exceeds eighteen mil
lions acres The plant Is healthy, the
growth is nearly average and the stand
Is good. Where the recent rains have
been excessive the crop is in the grass.
The general average is 80, which Is
higher than In the three preceding
years in June. There Is an unusual uni.
formity in the condition, only Ten

The condition of winter wheat is re.
ported lower than ever before known.
The general percentage has declined
from 40 in May TO 60. The average OF
the principal states are; New York
OIL, Pennsylvania 81, Ohio So, Michi-
gan "a, Indiana SO, Illinois 40, Mis-
souri, SO, Kansas So and California 6S.
In some states there has been q greater
loss Of area than was anticipated in
previous reports. The average yield
will evidently be less than 10 bushels
per acre. The probable product of the
winter wheat sta es according to the re.
turns is reduced to about 1000, 000
bushels, but none of the territories are
included in the winter wheat area.
The report of spring wheat Is more
| favorable. The disposition last fall
to reduce its breadth on account Of the
low price was checked by the loss OF
winter wheat area, and later by the
British Russian war rumors. Sub
stantially the same area has been
seeded as last year, about 100000
acres in Northern New England, Wis
coDsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska
and all the territories. The percent.
age of last years area Is 95 in Wiscon'
sin, so in Minnesota, TO-
| in Iowa, IS in Nebraska,
and 103 in Dakota The condition Of
spring wheat is 81 and indicates cror
of about 1853, 100000 bushels. The
average for Wisconsin Is SS, Mime

other crops. The worm works on the
tender leaves and shoots and then
spins web enveloping the whole top
of the young plant.
The rain last night did corn and
young cotton great deal OF good.
