Yet what else is possible, if Mr.. Reagan and

CROP PROSPECTS.

The report of the Agricultural Bureau for
June is highly encouraging as to all the I'M
portant crops. But it should rot be forgotten
that though published June TO- the report is
necessarily based upon information collected
mainly in the month of May. AS to winter
wheat, it is a sufficient reply to the widely
current reports of great Injury to that crop in
May that the Bureau estimates the condition
June l only about 2 per cent below that of
May |, or 92.7, and in 1881, when the
largest crop on record was harvested. the
average reported by the Bureau for June | was
80. For this reason II is difficult To understal d
will little exceed twelve bushels per acre, for
in 1854 it was about thirteen bushels. More
over, IL should not be forgotten that there has
been much complaint of drOuth since these
reports were gathered, and though the latest
accounts show that rain has given general
relief, there are also reports of some injury by
frost in a part OF the spring wheat Yas:;n.
Nevertheless, the reported changes since June
l can hardly Justify great reduction in the
estimate of yield and the Bureau report of
condition at the beginning of the month would
indicate a yield of about 400, 200, 900 bushels.
The reports of increased acreage in cotton are
important. Though the increase has been
checked the Bureau states. in the eastern
States OF the cotton belt. the acreage is sad
