There has been a considerable re-
duction in the condition of spring
wheat, amounting to fully l l points.
Contrary to last years experience the
Dakotas suffer less than the other
spring wheat districts. Oats are low
est on the list over this whole section
and it is evident that the crop will
be light in quantity and poor in
quality both West and East. The
potato crop was greatly damaged by
the drouth. In southwestern coun-
ties of Nebraska the corn crop has
been entirely ruined by hot south
winds.

ed. When I came of age l visited
Hot Springs, Ark, and was treated
by the best medical men, but was
