CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT.

With a Few Exceptions the Crop Is Re-
ported Above the Average.
The Farmers ReU6elo of Chicago prints

ton of winter wheat:
Outside of Michigan and Wisconsin our cor
respondents rule report the condition of
winter wheat equal to or above the average.

dition 60 per cent. as compared with the aver
age Livingston and White County CORES

below the average. A falling off of 10 per cent.
is reported in about half dozen other counties,
ont the majority report 100 per cent. over,
some correspondents estimating the condition
at 1875 per cent. The condition of winter wheat
in Ohio is apparently the same in Illinois.
With few exceptions the condition ranges from
100 to 125 per cent. In Indiana, only four cor
Kansas and Missouri three-fourths of our cor
respondents report 100 per cent. or over. Re-
ports from Kentucky wheat fields are encOur-
aging, are also the reports from the few
counties in Iowa in which winter wheat is
grown. In Michigan the condition of winter
wheat is low. Three-fourths of our correspond
ents in that State report percentages 10 to 25
per cent. below the average. The same is true of
portions of Wisconsin, Waushara County, for
instance reporting condition only so per cent.
With, this exception the general average for the
State is higher than that of Michigan. We sum-
