Wheat is lookingpw we'll in this section, and
promises fair drop March was favorable for
wheat.-GEoRak WILSON, Sinclair, Morgan
Co., Ill. niV
The wheat crop is medium. None but Fall
wheat is ever sown here, and the acreage is
near same as last season. Wheat was sOwn late,
on account of drouth in the Fall The snow
through January protected it we'll and in Feb
ruary it started finely, but the cold of March
has checked the growth, which will tend to
increase the shooting out better than warm
growing weather would have done--JoHN A.
SMITH, Decker, Knox Co., Ind.
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Wheat in the Territory is looking very well,
the most of which wassown late, on account of
being very dry in the FALL The Winter has
been favorable for wheat the ground is well
soaked with water at present, with a fair pros
pect for crops. P. REED Grand River, Wy
andotte Nation, /. T.
The outlook for good crop Of wheat Is en-
couraging We have had plenty Of moisture
throughout tho Winter, and the wheat here is
all latc sown. No signs of fly. Last year the
carly sowing was damaged to great extent by
tho fly. As the wheat was all late-sown this year
we don't expect trouble from the fly. T.

Co., Kan
The wheat in Ford County is in poorer con-
dition than it has been for six years.-ALvAH
BRAY, Bucklin. Kan.
KENTUCKY.
The prospect for wheat in Wayne County
is not good. Some wheat laid in the ground
five weeks before coming up, on account of the
dry weather. Some did not get up, and some
was very late-sown expect about one-half
crop-F. NJ. BURNETT, Alex, KY.
MISSOURI.
The wheat prospect in this part of the County
is very poor. The dronth in the Fall retarded
sowing till very late, and a good portion Of tho
seed persisted. What did come up looks very
sickly, and will not make more than one
fourth of a crop on an average.-M. V. MARSH,
Laclede, Linn Co., Mo.
The outlook for wheat in this County is poor.
There will not be third of a CROP owing to
dry weather at seeding time.-DAN FISHER,
Co. G, 18th Iowa, Dockery, Ray Co., Mo.
At seeding time the drouth was so severe
that the crop went into Winter quarters in
back ward state, and with an uneven stand.
Much of it is thrown out by tho freezing and
thawing of the last six weeks. No chance for .
half crop.-M T., Shelby Co., Mo.
The prospect for Fall wheat and rye was No.
up to March s. Since then the ground has
been frozen solid with scarcely any snow and
no thawiag. feel sure the outcome will be
good No Spring grain planted yet. Peach
buds kiled.-A.s HARDY, Fairfield, Clay Co.,
Neb. -
Fall wheat In Dawes and Sheridan Counties
is in splendid condition and is now covered
with snow. The farmers have been busy do
ing Spring seeding. bnt on account of snow had
to rest.-M. a. McMASIMIE, Co. G, 50th Ill.,
Haysprings, Neb. "a
The wheat crop Is very poor. The dry
weather in the Eall is the cause of Its failure
and most O: the farmers will not receive their
seed wheat. - JoHN McMILLER, Navarro,
Sugar Creek Township Stark Co., o.
During the last 80 Years have not seen the
wheat in SO poor. "a condition as it is now. Half
vived has been exposed all Winter. as we have
had no snow. l do not think there will be
one-third of a crop.-GEoRGE NELSON, Della
ware, Delaware Co, o. .sz t..a.-.
Wheat does not look good, all on account of
the unfavorableness of the weather. Some Of
it is dead on the clay ground, and hear it is
all killed on the black mucky ground. We
may not get more than half Of crop Of
wheat.-J. L. WHEATON, Cecil, Crane Town
ship, Paulding Co., 0.
Wheat looks we'll, and will be about rs per
cent. of crop. The bottomlana- is better
than the upland.-C. w. STRATToN, Neville,
Clermont Co., O.
OREGON.
The wheat crop in Douglas County is un-
usually promising, both as to looks and acreage
and amount sown. The fine Winter has been
good for grain, and the beautiful weather has
enabled farmers to SOW a large acreage
nj
PENNSYLVANIA.
The wheat of this County will not be more
than so per cent. Of an average yield. The
early-sown wheat in the limestone lands is
very much injured with the fly. The late
wheat is inj ured in the lOwlands from too
much water. In the shae lands it is Winter
killed." from too much freezing and thawing.
Our mountain or granite land is standing bet
ter. and where it lies high and well-draned
will produce an average yield, but all will be
far below last Summers crop.-C. f. COLDS
BOROUGH, Hunterstown, Adams Co., Pa.
The prospect for wheat is not fattering.
Some fields were injured considerably last Fall
by the Hcssan fly. Much Of the wheat on
limestone soils is thin. Since March l snow
has covered the fields, and this is protecting the
grain during this spell of wintry weather, and
will undoubtedly improve its condition.-JoHN
NJ. BRowER, BellefOnte, Centre Co., Pa.
Wheat is looking about as well as usual in
this vicinity at this time of year. Cannot tell
what the outcome will be until the freezing
and thawing is over.-DANIEL l.. BEcKwITH,
North East. Erie Co.. Pa.
The condition Of wheat crop In this part of
Pennsylvania is good, and the prospects are
the same for fair crop of wheat.-F. ]. CAL
LEN, Piney, Clarion Co., Pa
In this County the prospect for fair crop
is good If weather is favorable the crop
will be better than last year.-MoRGAN HIcK-
MAN, Jefferson, Greene Co., Pa.
