farmers whose cornhelds were actually burning

received dur ing the week indicated more thor
oughly than ever before that the total average
yield will be seriously reduced, vast areas
having been blighted beyond any
power of resuscitation. Out of ninety eight
counties in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas

yield, ten indicate not to exceed one-fourth,
twenty six report the promise of threefourths
an average crop, while in ten counties corn prom
ises ield or not to exceed five to ten bushels
an acre, unless for fodder. The most dis
couragng reports como from Illinois, Iowa.
Wisconsin and Missouri. while the most
encouraging still come from Ohio and
Michigan, while Indiana and Minnesota reports
continue to indicate a fair average outlook. In

promise of full average yield is Edgar, while
Jasper, Dewitt and Morgan report the promise
OF tnreo-IourCnS an average yleld. In BONO and
McHenry counties one-fourth of an average yield
is indicated.

average. The yield for the State at large will
not exceed so to 60 per cent of an average crop.

unevenly, but the grain is grading we'll. The
yield ranges from eight to twenty bushels. In

large promises rs to 80 per cent. of an average
yield Fruit is abundant throughout the State.
In Missouri the general outlook is regarded as
very poor. Marion, Usage, Rails and st. Charles
