and Fruit.
The following, made up from the re-
ports of its numerous correspondents,
appears In the Farmers Review of this
week:
Spring Wheat.
In Illinois all OF the spring wheat is in fair
to good condition, mostly good. The same is
true OF Michigan, Kansas, Iowa. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and the Dakotas. In Nebraska only
nine per cent. of the correspondents report
good, one-half of the remainder reporting fair,
and the rest poor.
In Illinois oats are reported in fair to good
condition, with the exception Of about 20 per
Indiana gives a still better report, only about
z per cent. OF the correspondents giving the
outlook as bad In Ohio only 10 per cent. re-
port poor, and In Michigan only 10 per cent.
In Kentucky the outlook is very favorable, two
counties only reporting "a bad stand. In Mis-
in the States mentioned. About 60 per cent Of
the correspondents report the crop in good con-
dition; 20 per cent In fair condition, and the
others report the stand as light. The outlook
in Kansas is slightly below that of Missouri 80
per cent. reporting good; 30 per cent. fair and
20 cent. poor. Nebraska again drops below
reporting good; 80 per cent. fair, and the rest
poor. In Iowa q little less than one-thtrd re-
port the crop in good condition, and the rest
report fair, with one exception. In Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the Dakotas the crop is In fine
shape as a general thing and in many counties
the crop Will be above the average. Only two
counties I'm the three States report poor.

In Illinois winter wheat Is generally in fine
shape. Two-thirds OF the counties report the
crop an average or above, all of the others re-
porting fair The same il true of Indiana and
Ohio, with the exception of about IL per cent.

Michigan report poor, the others fair to
good. In Kentucky the crop ia especially
fine, while in Missouri only fifteen
per cent. report the outlook M bad In GO per

average. In Wisconsin 40 per cent. report the
crop an average or above, the same number re-
winter wheat there is In Minnesota is In poor
condition, with few exceptions.

The prospects for fruit in Illinois are very
poor. Not over per cent of the oorrespon-
dents report the outlook good. About q per
cent. report a fair outlook for most kinds, but
all of the others report the prospects as very
bad, and in some counties the fruit crop is al
most failure. The same conditions prevail
in Indiana and Ohio. In Michigan less than
one-third report the fruit crop an aver
from TO 25 per cent. below an average,
and the others report poor. In Ken
lucky one-fifth of the correspondents report
the condition as good; 80 per cent report fair,
