The Crop Report.

CHICAGO, February 23.--The following
crop summary will appear in Farmer S
Rcriew this week from numerous re
turns made by its correspondents
Returns from winter wheat fields are
almost uniformly good. They present
an outlook very nearly as favorable as
those sentin early in 1885, when prospect
was exceptionally good for alarge yield.
The snow has entirely Misrepresentation
the fields, enabling very clear under
standing as to the condition of the plant
and from nearly every county in Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri,
Kentucky and Kansas, it is reported
looking strong and healthy. The utter
disappearance of snow covering is the
only serious menace now threatening
the growing grain, and with another
general fall of snow the outlook would
hardly be better than is presented in
reports of the correspondents. The
prolonged season of severe cold
weather with the fields still unpr o
tected, proved undoubtedly a cause OF
damage which might change the tenor
of the reports. Latest reports from
California, Oregon and Washington are
generally more favorable than at the
same time last year.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The bill
to confirm entries of land under laws Of
the United States, reported to-day by
Senator Van Wyck, from the Senate
committee on public lands, provided
that any entry heretofore made IN con-
formity with the rules. regulations and
decisions OF the general land Office at
the time. shall be adjudged in the same
manner as if said rules, regulations
and decision had not been reversed or
modified, provided that such entry
must have been made in good faith and
no charges of fraud been made against
the same. Van Wyck says the purpose
of the bill is to quiet the apprehension
of settlers who tear that some of the
rulings of the Commissioner General
Sparks, may have the effect of canceling
claims which were taken in good faith
under the laws as interpreted by a
former commissioner. He proposes,
therefore, to crystalize certain well-re-
cognized principles of practice INTO a
statute.
