KANSAS CROP PROSPECTS,

Reports show Grain and Fruit to lie In

TCPIRA, Kan, March 30.-The Kansas
Farmer will publish reports from every
county in Kansas showing the condi'
tiun of wheat the progress of spring
fruit and the general condition Of
live stock. These reports show
remarkably favorable condition
for the farmers. While the full was un.
favorable for seeding, good winter
has brought up the average 80 that the
wheat yield win be much better than
WA anticipated. Thirty counties in
the southeast and northeast, which
show an average prospect Of
little more than half wheat
crop, have never had In recent
years large areas OF wheat and have
never been depended upon for II. The
acreage in these counties has been
greatly reduced as compared web last
year, and the present prospect Is placed
at so per cent Twcnty-nine central
counties show an average wheat pros
pect Of 10 per cent. Of the usual crop,
Forty-threc western counties show an
increased prospect over the big crops Of
last year Of from 10 10 20 per cent,
which, with continuation Of favorable
conditions, gives prospect In the
entire state Of IS per cent. No llessian
fly or other pest has been reported from
any section and the small amount Of
wheat winter killed is confined 10 the
eastern counties Owing 10 the unusual
wet weather spring work has been
greatly delayed and only about 20 per
cent. of the oats have been sown, which
reduces the oats prospect, but will cause

has ever Known, ar an unusual amount

counties.
Everything Is reported favorable for
all kinds Of fruit, except peaches, which
