The wheat crop is almost a perfect
failure. II we have no rust we will
probably get one-third OF crop.

Owing to the hard winter and late
spring. the wheat has just begun TO
grow, and without rust or any other
hindranee we can't possibly expect
a half crop. BRAD MARTIN.

DISTRICT NO. 9.
The crop sown is an average one,
but the present outlook cannot be es-
timated at more than half crop If the
season is ever so favorable from now
until harvest. LEVI COOPER.

DISTRICT No. 8.
Fallowed and tobacco lands are
looking tolerably well, and with a IA
vorable season from this on, will make
more than one-half crop, but corn
land is a total failure.

NY observation extends to limited
area, about GOO acres. / think the
injury, that cannot be reclaimed, at
least 50 per cent, confined principally
to the late and indifferently seeded
wheat Examination shows that the
present growth comes almost exclu-
siyely from newly formed roots,
which renders the plant more sensi-
tive to extreme dry or wet weather.
As the wheat crop depends largely
upon the seasons, any opinion as to
the yield would be worthless. Crop
late. F. O. ANDERSON.
DISTRICT No. 10.
Wheat is failure. Not more than
One-third of II crop, if that, will be
raised. Numbers have plowed their
wheat up and seeded the ground to
other grain. What is left standing is
not more than half thick enough. In
a word / consider it failure this year.
E. L. WILLIAMS.

The wheat crop is almost an entire
failure. | do not think it can possibly
make over cne-third of crop and
unless there is very great improve
ment, there will be but very little har-
vested. n. L. NoRTHINGToN.

The wheat crop in the 18th district
is simply failure as far as my knowl-
edge and information extends. There
are fields OF wheat which will make a
half crop. S. \. WILSON.

CHRISTIAN COUNTY, ky.
The wheat has improved some in
the last ten days, but / don't think it
will make over halt a crop.

In regard to our wheat crop, the
is imperiled. The plant has
made but little growth. The damage
can not be estimated. At least half
of the plants that made start in the
fall, have been killed by the hard
winter. We will have fine opportu-
nifty to see the effect OF thin seeding
provided the season should prove IA
vorable for its maturing.
E. A. WILSON.
Garrettsburg, KY.
The wheat prospect is very poor.
At least 10 per cent of the acreage
has been seeded in oats and great
many fields have frozen out SO that
the stand is very thin, especially on
thin land, seeded late and sown broad
cast. l think the crop will fall short
40 per cent Some farmers don't
think they will make half crop.

Information received from farmers
Of this neighborhoOd, and from my
own observation, l am satisfied the
present growing wheat crop Will fall so
per cent below an average.
