CHICAGO, May 1.-THE following crop sum-
mary will be printed in this weeks issue of the
Farmers Review: The heavy rains of the past
week have lessened somewhat the former excel
lent outlook for spring wheat in Nebraska. Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakota. The great rain
fall has also occasioned some injury to the winter
wheat in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Indi-
ana, where, in some of the fields it was begin
ming to head out The reports do not indicate,
however. any serious damage as yet. In other
respects the outlook for all the grains In all the
States and Territories continues excellent The
reports Of poor showing for winter wheat, or
reports of injury from insect lfe with the ex-
ception of the permanent damage heretofore
noted In various counties In Kansas, are rare and
isolated. The presence of the chinch bug is
noted in Morrison county in central Illinois,
and in several in Indiana counties. In Indiana,
winter wheat has attained growth of from ten
to fifteen inches, and in Crawford, Henry, JAY
Lagrange, Switzerland and Vermllion, which
send in such reports this week. the outlook
continues excellent The only county in
Missouri to send in q report of poor showing
for winter wheat is Clay. The report states
that one third of the acreage has been plowed
up The generality of the reports from Mis-
souri, indicate crop of 20 per cent. above the
average. In Hassison and Shelby counties the
outlook is declare 20 be the best ever knowa.
In Kansas some of the counties pote an improve
ment in the winter wheat outlook within the
last thirty days. In jefferson county there is
the promise of 70 per cent Of an average crop
In Lincoln county the earlys own wheat has
been saved, and in Pawnee county the present
prospect is for fair average crop Butler is to
be added to the list of counties where the crop
is an entire failure The reports from Michigan
indicate an improvement in the wheat outlook
within the past two weeks. The reports from
Ohio generally of promising character. In
Ashtabula county. however the reports indicate
a poor outlook The reports from Dakota con
tinue favorable. Fargo. one of the principal
weatr raising counties in the Red river valley, re-
ports that the outlook could not be improved
while Cass county reports the condition of
wheat 20 per cent. above the average. The re-
ports from Minnesota uniformly good. The
Nebraska counties still complain of too much
rain, and that wheat on all low grounds is look
ing poorly. The general average of the crop on
the uplands is good
