Summary of Reports.

summary VI hepoTu'
For this bulletin returns have been
sent in from So reporters, located Ill
different sections Of - counties. Eleven
counties are left blank, as we failed to
get reports from them, owing to the
clerks of county courts failing TO an
swer our letters, giving names OF those
who would fill up the blanks prepared
for the purpose.
The acreage compared to last year IS
very little short. Some counties report
10 per cent more, while, owing to the
mineral development i'll other counties,
the average has decreased, but not to
any great extent, save III tayette,
where the per cent has gone down TO
20, and in Mcdowell and Wyoming,
where the cultivation of wheat has al
most ceased, only garden products be-
ing raised The general average for
the State, of acreage compared to last
year, excepting the the two counties
named, is COS.
Out of the II counties reporting
wheat, only II report a good stand,
while p counties report damage by
drought last fall, on account OF winch
wheat failed to come up. and by con-
timed freezing during the winter. The
general average for the State, OF con-
dition, compared to wheat last March,
is only S5.7. The best condition re-
ported is 10 per cent Ill Wayne county.
The lowest is so per cent III Fayette.
The weather during the month OF
February and March was very uniavor-
able. Lack of SNOW to protect the
plants from continued freezing caused
much damage i'll many localities, cs-
pcCially to wheat late sown.
As to preparation for the coming
crops, the indications are that larger
crops will be planted of corn, potatoes,
buCkwheat, &c. twenty-five counties
report larger separations, Is counties
report preparations as usual, while on
" three counties report preparation
for smaller crops.
The condition of live stock through
out the State, we are safe Ill saying,
is very little below the average With
the exception of distcmpcr III horses,
which is more general this spring than
usual, no contagious diseases prevail
among live stock TO any great extent.
The wet weather during the winter has
been hard on sheep and young cattle
in some sections of the State, while
from other sections all the reports are
very favorable. Upon the whole, live
stock throughout the State IS III fair
condition. The general average tor
45 counties reporting IS, horses 9o per
cent, cattle 9S.S per cent sheep 90 per
cent, hogs $50 per cent.
