Bad Outlook for Crops in the west.

NHlCA@O, july Ilth.-Ihe following crou
summary Will appear in this weeks issue
OF the Far0'erS Reriele: In portions of
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa
the injury to spring wheat has been in
creased and has embraced q wider area
than was noted In the detailed reports of
the review of the preceding three weeks,
when the great danger threatening the
crop from blight was fully outlined. In
large sections of Dakota Minnesota and
Wisconsin, where fields were visited by
light rains at she close of this week, the
damage TO grain was zach as TO prevent
any revival of lie and TIE injury inflicted
was complete. In sections where the
drought was most severe the Weld will not
exceed five to eight bushels per acre. The
rains which prevailed during the closing
days Of the week bettered tie corn crops
very greatly in iowa, Illinois In
diana and Ohio. Nineteen counties
in Iowa report that all crops which
have not already maturel show
/ injnry from drought, the raost serious effec.
| being shown 10 oats, rye and barley. These
! crops have all been harvested and are be-
/ low the average Corn is locking well, and
1 in the southern portion of the State is in
| tassel. In Jefferson, Palo Alto. Black-
hawk and Howard counties the injury to
| spring wheat is reported serious, wish a
I prospect of not to exceed one half an av-
erage crop. The winter W eat cropharvessed
| in good shape, and the Weld will average
I from twelve to twenty bushels. In portions
| of Wisconsin all late grains are reported 10
| be suffering from lack of rain In Sauk
county the drought is declared to be the
most severe and pr0tracted since 1864. The
barley crop is reported to be almost an en-
| tire failure in Chs and adjoining counties.
In Minnesota the only county to report
ant Il
| the rains are reported to have been in
time to save the crop, and eghty-five
per cent of an average yield is indicated
In Mower, Sibiey, Wright, Dakota and
Almstead. the fields are badly burned, with
, a promise of from fifty to seventy-fve per
cent of an average crop. Corn is still look
ing well, and with more moisture there is
promise ola full yield. Dakota wheat is
not filling well, and dry, hot winds in
many sections lessen the outlook for an
average yield. In Sphinx and Stutsman
counties the yield will not be more than
one half an average. The barley outlook
throughout the Territory is poor In Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, winter
wheat is all in stack, or mas been thrashed.
The largest yield in Illinois thus far re-
ported is in Pike, Pratt and Montgomery
counties, where the grain is thrashing out
20 bushels Marion county will average
about 10 bushels. The average for the
State will be between - and 10 bushels"
