offered a large reward for the bodies OF the
two principal leaders in the revolt. The

who promptly paid for them. The China

TIE COMING WHEAT CROP.
A Large Decrease in the Area SOwn, and the
Growing Wheat in Poor Condition.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. III w. Tallmadge, of
this city, has late nnd important information
from many of the principal winter wheat grow
ing States. The complaint seems general that
owing to the unreasonable fall and winter, the
condition of winter wheat is most unfavorab.e
and the promise for even a fair outcome not
very fattering. Michigan Illinois, Kansas
Missouri and Kentucky report large decrease
i'll acreage, but owing to the severity of the win
ter the damage has been very great The weather
has been unusually cold, many of the princ-
pal wheat counties have been bare of snow up to
within the past week, and the wheat is wholly
frozen out, which will necessitate blowing up in
the spring and the sowing planting of other
cereals The damage in these States is esti-
mated at from 10 to 20 per cent, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Kentucy being the principal sufferers.
east, complain of extended drought i'll
the fall, which resulted in severe
damage to the early sown wheat and prevented
the sowing of late wheat consequently tho area
in these States is reduced to nearly one half that
of last year. Mr.. Tallmadge has official advices
from all the agricultural departments or Stats
teal agents of the principal winter wheat rails
ing States, giving the sowp to wheat as
compared with last year. The figures show a
large decrease ranging from 10 to 33 per cent.
Many of the large producing States, including
Kansas, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana,
show larger decrease Mr.. Tallmadge
has made an average of the shortage in acreage
as compared with last year, and it shows the
shortage to be fully 20 per cent. The agricult-
ural departments and statistical agents of the
spring wheat States, say their agents report that
there will probably be large falling off In the
sown to wheat this coming spring. This
applies more especially to Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota. Farmers in these sections say wheat
raising has not been profitable for the past two
years, and they will give more attention to rails
ing fax and other products, which they think
will result more prohtably to them.
