THE CROP PROSPECT.
A Considerable Increase in the Yield of Wheat
Condition of Spring Wheat.

New YORK, July Following is summary
of the Rural New Workers. annual crop report:
From over 1000 crop reports, from all parts of
the country, the Rural New Yorker concludes
that the winter wheat crop is, on the whole,
good, the probable yield being 295, 600, 900 bush
els, against 2l2 600, 900 in 1885, with slight in
crease in acreage. Spring wheat has been con-
siderably injured by drought and blight; the
yield will probably be lao, 900, 900 bushels,
against 145, 600, 900 last year. The total wheat
crop will probably be 435, 100000 against 357,-
000,0 900 bushels last year. In oats there has
been Slight increase in ACREAGE the crop has
been considerably injured by drought and insect
pests. and will probably yield 500, 000, 900 bush
els, against 629, 000 900 bushels in 1885. OF rye
and barley there will be excellent crops, on a
slightly increased area There is good stand
of corn, and the outlook is excellent for a good
crop. or early potatoes the crop will be heavy,
and late potatoes are promising especially in the
West.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, July Reports to the
Pioneer Press from $50 points, covering 100
counties In the Northwest, show the condition
of spring wheat to be much worse than mouth
ago. The drought in May followed BY the hot
and dry weather of the past ten days, has
shortened the crop materially. The worst re-
ports come from southern Minnesota, southwest
ern Dakota and Wisconsin. In these sections
the yield will be from one-half to two-thirds of

Greenup people are now industriously circu-

the question of the county-sea removal from
Toledo to Greenup to the popular vote at the
November election. In order to be submitted.
the petition must receive the signatures of two

people have raised $40, 600 with which to build
in Greenup better court house than the
one burned at Toledo. The latter

any expense to the tax payers. The county seat
question lays all political issues in the shade.
Greenup does not ask for any of the county Of
