Condition Of winter wheat,

CHICAGO, Ill, April % The following
crop summary will be printed in this
weeks issue of Farm Review: Our reports
of the past week fail to show any better
condition of winter wheat than previously
reported. A considerable acreage has
been plowed up and seec ed to other crops
in OHIO, Illinois, Indiana. Missouri and
Southern Michigan. From all sections
comes the complaint that the season
is cold and backward and spring
seeding is much delayed. Meadows
and pastures show considerable injury
from the drouth of last summer, the
severity Of which sud the long period of
spring freezing and thswing psve left the
country nearly bare OF forage from last
years crop. In many cases the farmers
have neen bsrelylable to carry their stock
through to grass
The prospects for fruit, especially small
kinds, is reported fairly good. While the
season might open more propitious, there
is yet chance for making full crop
in all farm products, winter wheat ex-
cepted, which must fall considerably be-
low the average crop.
