Crop Report.

The following is a summary of the
crop report just issued by the State
Board of Agriculture:
SPRING WHEAT.
Reports from thirty-one counties
growing this cereal show its condition
to be eighty-five per cent, a decrease of
ten per cent. since our report of last
month. Estimated area, the same as
last year.
WINTER WHEAT.
OF the area of winter wheat sown
last fall in the State, very little, if any,
in excess Of fifty per cent. will be har-
vested, and the condition of that por-
ton from which product may be eX-
pected, as compared with five-years
average at this date, is found to be
seventy per cent. Probable product,
100000 bushels, which is but forty
per cent. of the average annual product
for five years, and will be but little in
excess of the demands of the State for
seed and bread within the year.
RYE.
The condition of this crop is good all
over the State, very few counties being
reported below so per cent, and many
up to the standard-100 per cent. The
reports from the northwest, where the
acreage is greatest, are very encourag-
ing.
OATS.
Condition, 30 per cent. The lower
ing of this percentage from our last re-
port is due to the dry weather exper-
fenced in the central and South-central
creased acreage over last year will
about offset the damage done, and to
quote the opinion of one correspondent,
there is yet fighting chance for i'm
provement if the needed rain comes
soon." THE needed rain came and the
crop greatly beautifyed thereby.-EDS.)
CORN.
The outlook is good for the largest
crop Of this cereal ever produced in the
State. Reports received, with the ex-
ceptiOn of those from two counties.
give this crop an area largely in excess
of any former periOd-but ten counties
reporting a condition of less than 100.
Our compilation of the returns received
indicates an increased acreage for the
State, as compared with last year, of
CAOfCn pei SOAISs, Will OI
102, as compared with a fiye-vears
average at this date. Very few cores
pondents complain of unfavorable
weather for this crop, or report a con-
dition less than 100.
POTATOES.
The area planted is larger than last
year. Many counties report material
increase, and a summary of the re-
ports as to condition, shows at least
100 per cent. for the State.
TAME GRASSES.
Condition for the State. 95. with a
large increase in area. The dry weather
caused considerable uneasiness for a
time, but since the late rains the crop
is looking well.
FRUIT.
The winter was too severe for the
peach crop. Apples reported to be in
fair condition, but falling from the
trees in many localities. Small fruits
are being marketed in good condition,
and the crop for the season viii be
larger than for several years. With
the exception of peaches, the fruit
crop Of the State viii be good.
