CONDITION OF WINTER GRAIN.

Statistical Returns TO tho Department of
agriculture for the past Season.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The April sta-
tistical returns to the Department of Ag-
ricultHre, relative to the condition Of
winter grain and of farm animals shows
that the season for seeding WAS long,
three months in some of the southern
states. and the appearance when winter
set in WAS uneven, though the plants
were rooted. In the states affected by
summer 6routh there was slow germina-
ton in soils not we'll pulveriz9d, causing
thin stands in such are.s. Hence su-
perhcial impression Of the con-
dition WAS made, which our
trained correspondents SAW at once
WIS deceptive, and that the impairment
of the status WAS slight. Lister rains
improved the prospect. In the south the
soil WAS in good shape and growth gen.
orally good. In the middle states the
seeding season was moderately tsvora-
| BILE, though in some places the soil was
dry, In Csliiornia, with some exceptions,
q very favorable season for seeding and
germanization is reported. The drouth
in Oregon delayed the plant growth.
| Only partial winter protection
was enjoyed in the northern belt. The
variable temperature Of March seriously
injured the plant In the central states of
the ives. and some loss from winter kill
ing appears even in Texas. On the At
lantic coast the winter injury was very
slight. South OF Maryland the tempers-
ture wss mild and favorable. The pres
ent appearance OF the crop is quite un-
favorable, as the spring is late and the
present growth of late sown is
comparatively small. Favorable spring
weather might make material improv-
ment. The average Of the present pro-
duction is So, lower tnan in recent years
excepting only 1888 and 1885, when the
averages were 80 aud rs respectively. The
average of the states of principal pro-
duction are as follows: New York "a,
Pennsylvania 80, Ohio es, Michigan 76l
Indiana 75, Illinois "a, Missouri 81, kan
sas 81. The average of Texas is 81
and of most of the southern states higher
from 81 in Arkansas to 81 in Tennessee
| though the area seeded is small in al
these regions.
