Minnesota Crop Prospects.

Reports from / 1000 points in the north
west show that the condition OF the crop in
Minnesota, taken as q whole, is not as "a
yorable as4lt was lastgyaaryat this time
In the southern counties the. ground was
dry at seeding in some places and very wet
In others, and the RESULTS avery uneven
and ragged crop. The weather has not
been favorable until during the past few
days, and the plant is very thin and light
In some places it is heading out foot high
and the yield will not be an average one
Out OF 4lO reports received, covering So
wheat growing counties, 243 says the out
look for Il full crop is good and l67
say the yield will be from hall
to 90 per cent OF what it was last year.
From all reports received a detailed state
ment OF which is given below, the present
condition OF the crop in the state does not
justify the belief that more than IS per
cent OF last years average yield will be
raised. While it is yet rather early to fig
ure the crop down to bushels. enough is
known upon which to basereliable estimates
OF the probable yield, considering, ofcourse
favorable weather from this time till har-
vest. The total acreage OF the state will
not exceed 2,5l5,0O0 acres. The yield at
this time promises to be about thirteen
bushels per acre, which would give a total
yield OF $685. 900 bushels.
