The condition of winter wheat, as
cstima ted from returns of correspond
ents at this date, gives an average for
the state Of So per cent, as compared
with eS per cent. one year ago. As re-
ported by sections, the lowest average
condition is 10 in northeast and the
highest 81 in southeast Missouri The
average date of wheat-seeding last fall
was September 25, ten days earlier than
the previous year. but the condition OF
the soil Was bad, and much Of the seed
failed TO gcrniiratc, M at beat made a
weak, spihdlife growth. The low tenn
peraturc, tie terg lit.'e protcr-
tion afforded by snow and ths
ice which in sectiofis Of the
state covered the ground for It
period during the winter, indicates
that much Of the area sown has been
winter-killed; but the continued cold
weather has prevented a sufficient
growth of the plant to make it possible
to estimate TIE probable acreage which
will be plowcd mp. When compared
with the condition April 9, of an aver
age year the prospect for wheat crop
Is bad but when compared with the
prospect last year ri this date and we
remember that, on the area sown, a
fair crop in both yield and quality was
produced, there is reason to take
courage.
Rye was less injured than wheat by
the Severe winter. and is II points bet
ter iii condition than April l. of is9?.
The area is below that of an average
year.
At the end of March, Untssowing had

LIVE STOCK.
Tie dry cold weather was favorable
to live stock Of all kinds. and the com
pirative condition is high. Among
horses there were fewer Gases than
usual Of distcmpef, Glahders and lump,
Jaw reported, and no epidemic of an!
kind. Cattle have beer also compara
lively free from disease. More that
fifty per cent of the death rate re
ported being from exposure and too lit.
tie food. Except for the destr''-''
among sheep from dogs, the death rate
was chiefly from loss Of young lambs
owing to the long-contin nucd cold in
March. The high price and demand
for marketable hogs would naturally
induce good care and shelter and con.
scqueut high condition and freedom
from disease. Cholera in its vari ous
forms, is reported from almost eve ry
section, but the death rate has been
paratively very light, The num-
Der OF breeding sows now on hand is
