Wheat in this County was late sOwn, owing
to dry weather last Fall, so it did not get much
Of growth. Some Of it just peeping through
the ground, and it is all alive at present, and
green. Ii is not injured by the Winter 30 far

The early sown and the moderate early wheat
seems to be all right The late sown is hardly
injured by the tbawing and freezing.-J. III.

According 10 your request will state that
the prospects for wheat in this Township are
not very good. II was too dry last Fall for
wheat sowing, and what was sOwed was sowed
very late, and not moro than three fourths Of
an average acreage was put in; yet at this time
it looks better than was expeeted.-WILLIRG
KING, Hickory. Grundy Co., BIO.
The condition Of wheat is not worry good.
The seed was sown very late, and we have had
little snow. We may have about half a crop.
y. A. WHEELER, Hunnewel, Shelby Co., Mo.
So far as known tho wheat crop bids fair for
half crop in southwest Missouri. Q. MAYS,
Cedarville, Dade Co, DO.
With good weather the wheat crop will be
about an average. On account of the coutiuu-
Gus drouth last Fall there was not as much
seeded as generaIly.-LAwTOS, WOrland, Bates
Co., No.
The farmers in this locality do not expect
half q crop of wheat this year. and this makes
them "down in the lip."-W. /. WILLIAMS,
| New Frankfort, Saline Co., BIO.
Everything has been unfayorabls to the
wheat in this section. II was not sown until
| I.gf Of nd To he
| drouth, the unfavOrableness Of the weather in
| November and December, the dry and continu-
! Gus freezing at night and thawing by day the
general effect is bad and the prospect is not
above 80 per cent. of average years. During
| the whole time there has been but two weeks
Of snow.-M. BooRD, Hickory Barrsns, Greene
/ Co., Mo.
| The wheat in our vicinity Is very fine, and
is generally good all over the County. We
have the finest County in the finest State in
the United States. Our soil grows from 20 tC
45 bushels per acre. and grades No. 2, prime
We raise from 40 to 10 bushels corn to the
acre, and know no failures. We have fine
grasses and vegetables in abundance and va
rieties, and fine fruit locality, with 500 old
soldier residents. We have plenty Of coal
water, and timber, and good land runs from
$40 to $50 per acre.-A. II. w. SULLIVAN, d
d., Miami. Saline Co., DO.
On account Of hard, dry ground there wal
only about one third the usual amount Of wheat
sown. 1t was slow about coming up, and now
it looks like there would only be about one
fourth Of crop, rs the ground is bare and
wheat looks very bad.-ALLEN +. WADE, Cot
fcysburg. Dayicss Co., Mo.
The prospect for wheat in this part Of John
son County IS very discouraging. There Is
small acreage in wheat, and / don't think i
will make one half crop, even with what ha!
boon 5own last FALL. w. Books, Co. c., II0tE
