INDIANA.
A great deal Of the wheat is looking very
bad and March was very hard ON it. The
early sown has held its own and looks very
we'll. Warm rains at present are helping the
| wheat wonderfully, but at its best it will not
| equal last years crop, although the acreage is
larger-JAMEs NJ. HEMINGER, Plymouth,
Marshall Co., Ind.
The early sown wheat in this neighborhood
| is look ing fine. The late sown wheat is not
| looking very WELL bat l think we will have
an average crop.-ADAM AUMsBAUGH, Co. d,
142d Ind, Warsaw, Koscinsko Co., Ind.
| The wheat prospect i'll this County is about
| one half compared with one year ago. There
| is about double the amount OF ground seeded,
but the late frosts and dry winds have worked
| great damage. L. MARIAN, Pony, Joy Co.,

Wheat in this part Of the County is in good
| condition We have had good rains and some
| snow this Winter.-M. w. HOBBS, Upton.

/ The outlook for tho coming wheat crop is
Vt very good, owing to ex treme'y dry weather.
Last Fall wheat went into Winter quarters
small aud thin on the ground. week of dry,
freezing weather in the middle of March
makes it look badly at this time. Largo in

have never seen better prospect for Win
ter wheat in this country than at present 1t
all looks we'll aud the ground is full of water,
and that speaks for good crop in this country
at this time of the year / raised 1000 bush
els last year. and think l will raise much
more this year,. z. COURT, Gleneldie, Nit

Wheat in this vicinity is fair. A large acre.
age sown, but owing to the fact that a
fearful droutb occurred at the time, and that
the ground was very hard, only half Of it came
up, which may be called good crop. Some
patches are excellent,-WILL Ii. KAHN, Reno,
Leavenworth Co, Kan.
The wheat in this vicinity is in good condi-
ton. Seed was late sown. but the Winter has
been favorable. There is plenty of moisture
The acreage is perhaps in excess Of last year

l have asked Is farmers about the condition
and prospects of tho wheat crop. Twelve an
swered splendid while three said 1t was poor
I. E. MARSH, Manhattan, Riley Co., Kan.
MISSOURI.
The wheat in this part of Buchanan County
is better than we thought it was. It got no
start in the Fall. but we will have half and
probably two-thiris Of crop. 1t secured an
average of 33 bushels to the acre last year.
This is q good place for a man to start in who
has money, but it is no place for poor man.
There are so many laboring men here now
that wages very low, while rent is very
high.-DAHIEL ISAAC, 22d Ind. Battery, Ken
moor, No.
NEBRASKA.
There is very little Winter wheat sown in
this County, hut it is in good shape for crop.
Spring is late and not much Spring wheat sown
Yeti. J. EDiNGToN, Broken Bow, Custer
CO., Neb.
The wheat crop here looks we'll. Prospect
is good. 1t is very wst yet. No farming done.
and cannot be any done until next week.-A.
E. Day, Cortland, Gage Co., Neb.
Wheat in this part of Nebraska looks fine for
big yield, with larger acreage than usual
f. 81. RUDD, Hebron, Thayer Co., Neb. -
OHIO.
The wheat of this section of Carroll and Tus.
carawas Counties is in bad condition, greatly
owing to the dry weather at seeding time, the
quentIy what did como up was in weak,
sickly condition, and very thin on the ground
when the Winter set in, which WAS not severe
until March, and this month was very unfavor-
able. At present the prospective estimate
would fall below so per cent Of the crop of
last year.-GEo G.. MAGEE, New Cumberland,
Tuscarawas Co.. O.
i have spoken to a number of farmers in this
neighborhood; they claim that the wheat crop
will not be more than half "A croD this wear
compared with last year, according to the num-
Der of acres sown.-J. w. SMITH, Co. G, 25th
Ohio West Mill Grove Wood Co., o.
My wheat never looked any better than it
does now. The wheat in this neighborhood is
an average crop.-W. III. HUFF, Lake Town
ship, Ashland Co., o.
OREGON.
The wheat crop in this neighborhood was
never more promising. The acreage is large;
spring very early; oats and other grains max
ing good growth; fruit trees ready to bloom.

PENNSYLVANIA.
The present prospect for wheat in our valley
Path Valley is not good. The fly hurt il in
the Fall, and we had an open Winter with
continual freezing and thawing up to March,
when there WAS heavy fall of snow. which
protected it through that month The acre
age is about % per cent. greater than last
year.-DAVfD CLIPPINGER, Fannettsburg,
franklin Co., Pa.
Wheat in this part looks very well. I saw
one field which was seeded about the middle of
November, and it looked well. Taking every
thing into consideration, think we will have
good crop. Peaches have been hurt somewhat
during the last few weeks.-EDwARD NEvILL,
Beaver, Beaver Co., Pa.
