WINTER WHEAT.
The Farmers Review on the Prospects
Files Doing Damage.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The following will
appear in this weeks Farmers Re-
view: THE reports of our crop cor
respondents indicate that the general
condition of winter wheat in Illinois. is
good but in many sections is badly
infested by the Hessian fly. This is
especially the case with the early sown
wheat The crop is improving under
late rains In Iowa very little winter
wheat has been sown and in some coun-
ties very little advance has been made
until recently on account of dry wealth
er. In other localities the crop is look
ing we'll Missouri reports an increased
average. The general condition through
out the State is good. Kansas has a
great increase in her acreage of wheat.
Few complaints of the Hessian fly are
heard In large number of counties
the early sown wheat is fair and the late
sown is in very good condition and
growing rapidly. Michigan reports a
good increase in her acreage, and the
crop is in generally prosperous condi-
ton In Kentucky about the same
amount of winter wheat was sown as
last year. That sown early is reported
in good condition while the late sown
has not yet come up In fact some are
not yet done sowing. The condition OF
the crop is poor. Few flies and plenty
of water are reported. Reports from
Indiana are discouraging. The early
soxn wheat looks we'll and that sown
more recently is in medium condition.
The acreage this year is considerably
increased over last year. In Ohio the
increase in acreage is small but the crop
is reported good from nearly all Sec
tons Wisconsin has quite an increased
acreage of wheat sown. The condition
is good. We summarize the report OF
condition of winter wheat as compared
with an average as follows: Illinois 90,
Iowa IS Missouri 30, Kansas 81, Michi'
gan So, Kentucky IS. Indiana 9S. Ohio
