OATS WILL BE A GOOD CROP.
The Weather Has Been Bad For Corn and
Wheat Il Poor.


CHICAGO, June 25.-The following will ap-
pear in the Farmers Revieic, June 26: The re-
ports of our crop correspondents indicate that
whatever else may prove failure, oats vii be
O good crop. The present prospect is the best
in years, at a corresponding season, except in
Kentucky and Dakota, where the spring
drought was most severe and prolonged; but
even in those states, if wet weather continues,
there is time to recover from the effect of un-
favorable conditions earlier in the season.
The cool, damp weather which has been so
propitious for oats has been discouraging to
corn. Although averages are high in Missouri
Kansas. Nebraska and Dakota, 10 other states
prospects are less favorable than a week ago.
Reports from Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, where heavy frosts have been experienced,
are very low. The condition of spring wheat
has improved in Iowa, but in all other states
covered by our report il has declined during
the past ten days. Telegrsphic reports an
nounce, however that late heavy rains in Min
nesota and Dakota have greatly benefited
wheat and our next report viii probably be
more encouraging.
Among the causes of the lower averages re-
ported in Illinois and Indiana may be men,
toned the 'new insect" first named in the
Fdrnt11's ReUteW, as the grain plant louise
(siphOnaphona granaria or aYen3l which is
preying upon wheat and oats in many parts of
those states. Complaints of damages from
cutworms are also common, and correspond
ent, resident of Ross, Ind, reports the total
destruction of a thirty-acre field of rye by army
worms.
Everything possible is being done to prevent
the onward march of the worms. Another cause
of damage is high water on bottom lands seeded
to corn and spring wheat.
We summarize the reports of our cores
pondents relative to the condition of grain
crops as compared with an average as follows:
Illinois, spring wheat, IS per cent; corn, So;
oats 90 Indiana corn so: oats o. Ohio
