High Price of Pork accounted For.

Emmons County Record: Perhaps
Attorney General Standish's crusade
against the blind-pig industry accounts
for the present high price of pork. Mr.

Crop Conditions.

Observer Craig, of the Illinois
weather bureau. has sent out a circu-
lar of crop conditions in which he
SAYS in many counties of the state,
especially in the southern division,
owing to the unfavorable weather
conditions which prevailed last fall,
large acreage which was prepared
for wheat, remained unseeded. The
remarkably cold weather after Janu-
airy l injuriously affected the wheat,
owing to its unprotected condition,
especially in the southern and central
divisions. The severe sleet storm of
February 1, followed by rain and
snow, I'd, and a severe cold wave on
the 4th. covered the ground over the
layer of ice, which in the opinion of
many of our correspondents, was the
principal cause of injury to wheat.
The reports received this week indi
cate the crop badly damaged. In the
wheat growing region on the north
ern, and in the central counties, many
fields are reported winter killed, and
have been plowed under, and will be
put in oats or corn. The most dis
couraging reports from this section
come from Warren, Brown, Logan,
Knox and Hancock counties, where
from 60 to 75 per cent of the wheat is
winter killed. The following coun-
ties report damage from 40 to so
per cent. Vermillion. Iroquois, Ma
son. Sangamon. Morgan, Pike, Piatt,
Shelby. Scott and Kankakee. In the
other counties of this section, while
no estimate is given. the crop is re-
ported badly damaged. In the south
| ern division. favorable reports are
received from Marion. Washington.
Franklin. Saline. Randolph and Jack
| son counties. In the other counties
from which reports have been re-
| ceived, from ID to % per cent of the
| crop is badly damaged. Oats seed
| ing is practically completed in the
southern and central divisions, and
nearing completion in the northern.
Some sections report oats already up
and doing nicely. More than an
| average acreage of this cropi is being
| sown. owing to many of the wheat
fields being plowed up. and the
ground used for this purpose. Farm.
ers are busy blowing for corn and
some planting has already been done.
At the present time the prospect for
fruit is promising. Peach, pear,
| plum and cherry trees are reported
in full bloom in the southern coun-
ties. Meadows and pastures are re-
| ported growing nicely. Much clover
is reported badly damaged in some
localities.
