| The condition Of the wheat crop in western
| New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvaril from
| the present outlook. IL A No l. Tho groand
| has been covered with snow at different times
/ during the Winter, but at the present time the
/ ground is bare. The rye looks good.-JAMEs

NEW YORK
Wheat never promised better in this vicinity
| than now. Snow has nicely covered the ground
| all through the Winter. with only few exrcp-
| tiOnal days. The crop last year wls phcnomc-
nally large, and the Indications now axe all in
| favor Of an equally large oHc this year..

The wheat on the ground was looking very
/ hue the last o. &c, about two months
ago. The snow has covered the ground since
Jan. l. To-day we can soc 4 little bare lr7und
! on the knobs in The ields-JOuS YANLIEw.

tue Spring irosts are not .oo severe We will have
good crop.-T. \. JOINS, South Epey, Chau-
| tauqua Co., y. Y.
For Smith Township in this County BEL
montl, will say that the prospect for wheat is
| very good. The late sowing. on account Of
drouth in the Fall. did not get a very good start
but the most Of whest-Gelds look very promi5-
| ing. The sIeet dill immense haruy to fsuit-
| trees. especially peach, and much valuable tim
Der was also injured in the woodlands. Locust
timber was badly damaged by sIeog.-J. \. Nc
/ MASTER Demos, o.
Owing to dTOuths, wheat sOwn in September
Is thin on tie ground in Hancock County.
That sOwn Oct. lat IS short, but looks fairly
| we'll. All wheat has wIntered we'll up to date.
The acreage is not so large as 1901, and will
probably average Is bushels per acre.-W. BEN
| SINGER. McCOmb, D.
II was sOwn late in the Fall, and then did not
seem to grow, and it has not gone through its
most trying month, March.-S,. FarmersYille,
/ Montgomery Co, d.
! The prospects for wheat Is not very good in
the neighborhood, owing 10 the dry weather
| last Fall, and the late freezing has hurt
| wheat very much. We don't expect very
much Of crop at thrashing time this Fall.
/ II. ELLIS, Patriot, GIlIia Co., D.
| The acreage of wheat in this part OF Ashta-
| bula County is about the average. The pros
| peet mp to the present time j. good for full
crop, but in this section. as a rule, March and
/ April are the most trying months for the crop.

The prospect in this lCoshocton) County for
/ wheat is not promising From present ap-
! pCarances it will not make oue-half crop,
the poorest prospect in years.-THOs. TILTON,

good crop. The drouth in the Fall prevented
sowing until very late and the growth has been
| very small The crop was injured ia the early
/ part Of the Winter by the freezing and thawing.
The average is very large.-A. j WARD. Al
/ vada, o.
| The wheat prospect in this section is poor
and IN its present condition il is likely TO be
less than half Of last years crop. 1t was late
/ sDwn and on account Of the hard Winter it
| looks bah.-B. +. SMITH, p. NJ, Nevada, Wyan-
dot Co, o.
! About the usual acreage Of wheat was sown
last Fall, but the wheat has been very back
| ward and does not promise half a crop. The
weather has been very uufayorable, almost
constantly freezing and thswing for a month
/ paste. G. CherriHgtOn, Wigner Galla Co., o.
| The wheat in our County 1t present looks as
/ though it would not make 80 per cent of
crop. IL is the worst prospect lever saw in the
| C0unty.-WM. BAKER, Wharton, Wyandot Co.,
! The condition Of Winter wheat in this local.
/ ity is not the worst that have seen. 10 is not
I dangerously injured yet, and we may have a
good crop yet at this harvest. A large acreage
was sown last Fall.-R. J. VEEMMLION, Knox
| Co, o.
| The wheat looked promising when the snow
/ melted away, but since IL has been subjected to
several freezings the tops are pale and sickly
| | think, however. that the life OF the plant is
uninjured.-W. l.. BAKEE, FOotyille, Ashta-
/ buia Co, o.
The wheat crop looks we'll here; better than
at this time last year. March is the hard month
on wheat in this sectiou.-W. T. LEECH,
Reeds Mills, Jefferson Co.. o.
The wheat prospect is very poor unless we
! have very favorable weather. If everything
continues as it is at present we will have no
crop at ALL. ID. CHAPMAN, Rush Greek,
| Union Co, o.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The average appearance Of the Winter wheat
is not Of the best. Though, some fields in we'll
drained land look we'll, whilst other fields not
so iavorably situated are badly frozen. We
have had very little cover from snow at any
time this WINTER. V. GARETTsON, Flora
Dale Adams Co., Pa.
The wheat in this section is looking quite
promising. 1t has been covered with snow for
the last six weeks, but March is hard on our
wheat in this seGtiOn.-W. Il SWAGER, Cher
ton. Crawford Co.. Pa.
Wheat in this section is fully % per cent be-
low that Of last year.-JOHN MCCONNAUGHY,
Darlington, Beaver Co., Pa.
TENNESSEE.
In this and adjoining Counties rs far as can
learn. owing To the drouth last Fall and freez-
ing this Winter. we will have scarcely half |
a crop Of wheat.-M. II. REED, Ogden, Rhea
Co, Tenn.

The wheat prospect is good here in Hill |
County, and there is no danger of cold weather |
The farmers are all busy sowing oats, some of |
which appeared above ground over a week ago. |
Many are preparing TO plant corn. The grass is |
growing fast, and gardens are being prepared. |

The prospect for wheat in this locality Whit
man County, is good, yet it is almost too early
