Uheat-The condition of winter wheat is
reported as not as good rs on April llth
Thirty four per cent Of the reports through
out the state, show that the prospects are
less favorable than heretofore. Six per cent
of observations show a slight improvement
and the remainder report no change of note.
Oats-Oats have made but little growth,
owing to the dry weather of the past month,
but the rain of the fore part of the week,
while not Of great lasting benefit, has been
of material present aid.
C0rn-The southern counties have planted
as o general rule, and the central and north
ern counties are making preparation. The
rain of Monday has helped to hurry prepa,
tions. There will not however be extensive
planting done until the ground is settled
down more thoroughly.
Meadows and Pastnres-thirty-two per
cent of which, the reports Of last week place
the condition not rs favorable as that Of the
week before However, for this immediate
section there has been improvement in the
past few days, although the northern divis.

LIE Stock-There has been no improve
ment in the condition of live stock, during
the past month, and no complaints have
reported of disease.
