Bushels-Corn Prospects.
TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 11.-Secretary
Martin Mohler, of the Kansas state
board of agriculture has issued the fol-
lowing report:
The Correspondents of this board on
their final estimate place the average
yield per acre of wheat. oats, rye and

yields by threshers: Winter wheat for
the eastern belt '(thirty-nine counties),
1861 bushels; central belt (thirtyfive
counties), 19.47 bushels; western belt
(thirty-two counties), 16 "a bushels. The
area of winter wheat as returned by as
SCISSORS for the eastern belt is 725. 474
acres; for the central belt, 1856, $40
acres, and for the western belt, 497, 729
acres. Therefore the total winter wheat
product for the respective belts is as
follows: For the eastern belt, II, $685.
9l3 bushels; central belt, 50,573, Al
bushels; western belt, S, 132, $50 bushels,
making total winter wheat product of
the state of 7O,OS5, $50 bushels. The
average yield per acre for the state is
sc bushels.
Spring wheat for the eastern belt, av-
erGge yield per acre is reported IL
bushels; the central belt, IL. - bushels;
the western belt. IA. 66 bushels. Area OF
spring wheat, as returned by assessor,
is as follows by belts: Eastern belt,
4, 1873 acres; central belt, 24,210 acres;
western belt, PSI, 493 acres; giving
total spring wheat product by belts as
follows: Eastern belt, 6,5S5 bushels;
central belt, $50, 1872 bushels; western
belt, 4,126, 200 bushels; and 4 total
spring wheat product for the state OF
4,5O2, 926 bushels. Average yield per
acre of the state, IA 50 bushels.
The total aggregate wheat product
for the state (winter and spring. on the
final estimate is placed by our corre-
spondent at 74,53S, 906 bushels. 1t is
yet too early for the final estimate of
the corn crop of Kansas, but our cor
respondents place the probable yield
per acre of this cereal for the entire
state at twenty-five bushels. This
average yield per acre applied to the
corn area of the state (5,6O3, 5Ss) acres
would give total corn product of l40,-
O59, 929 bushels
Oats-Correspondents report the aver
age yield per acre of oats in the state at
9S.O4 bushels, which on an area of 1, 559,-
O49 acres gives total oats product for
the state of -, 722, 4S4 bushels.
Rye-The average yield per acre of
rye for the state is placed at 1863 bushels
Barley-Average yield reported for
the state, 21.S bushels per acre: area,
13s, 226: total product, S,S42, 954 bushels.
Correspondents report dry weather
in portions of the state in September
and in consequence wheat sowing has
been greatly retarded. In cases where
the ground was plowed early Tin
July and August when in good
condition, there has been suf-
ficient moisture to terminate the
seed. but the dry and warm
weather has been unfavorable to
to its growth, and in some cases the
plant is reported as suffering. Many
farmers whose ground was prepared
and ready in the early part of Septem-
Der postponed seeding, waiting for
cooler weather and moist atmosphere.
Other farmers whose blowing was de-
layed have since been unable to put
their ground in proper condition and
seeding is necessarily delayed
