According to the farmers of the
Chicago board of trade, the outlook
for the cereal crops of 1892 is becom-
ing an alarming one. Advices re-
ceived indicate that almost the entire
western country, from the British
possessions to Texas, is flooded.
Farmers cannot do any seeding, and
much of the ground already seeded is
covered with water, drowning out the
plants or washing the seed out of the
ground. In addition the weather is
unseasonably cold, preventing the seed
from terminating and causing it to
rot in the ground on lands above the
flood mark. Shows are also reported
in North Dakota, and the farmers are
generally discouraged.
