er's Review says: Reports have been
received from the correspondents In
twelve states on the condition Of win
ter wheat and on the condition and
movement Of cattle. In Illinois winter
wheat Is In from fair 70 good eondi-
ton generally. About IS per cent Of
the correspondents, however, report that
In their counties the stand was rather
weak when winter set IN, and, In one
or two instances Il was feared the
wheat had been injured by the severe
cold weather before the blanket Of
snow came. A part Of this POOR condi-
tion az the present time Il due 70 the
slowness Of the plant In getting q start
and later co nditions may. operate 70 en-
tirely repair the danger. The condi-
ton of cattle Is everywhere good
There are few cattle being marketed
In Indiana. about seventy per cent
Of the correspondents report the condi-
ton Of wheat ~ good, twelve per cent
fair, and the rest poor. This Is the con-
dition in which II went into winter
quarters, since which there has been
little change. Cattle r Ia good CON.
dition, but very few are being shipped
taking the state rs a whole.
In Michigan tho winter wheat Is in
good condition In most of the counties
reporting. In q fow Of the counties the
crop has not recovered from tho effects
Of the ravagcs Of the fly, reported last
fall This loss Of condition, however,
will amount TO very little when taken
IN connection with the condition 81 the
crop throughout the state. Cattle are In
good condition, but few nre being mar
keted.
In Kentucky the wheat crop Is not up
to the condition reported In the preced-
ing states. The correspondents do not
generally report II much above 70 per
cent. Of an average In half Of the
counties cattle are reported 70 be IN
good condition, and Ia the other half
the condition Is fair. In Missouri wheat
Is not In q desirable condition. III Is ro-
ported about evenly at good, fair, poor.
In a number Of the counties the wheat n
reported injured by hard fraezing and
the lack Of snow. IN other counties
the snow came after the wheat was
Frozen, but did not cover II TO q sufih-
cient depth TO prevent further Injury.
In Others the drought OF last fall did
the damage to the plant from which II
has not yet recovered. Cattle are in
good condition throughout the state
but the movement IS very slow.
In Kansas the winter wheat Ii gener-
ally reported good, but some report
| only fair. The whole state has been
under d good blanket OF snow nearly
all winter and this presages . good
crop, even In those localities where It
now APPEARS uncertain. Cattle are In
good coHdition, with little Or no nov
meHt.S
In Nebraska half Of the counties re-
port condition good, nearly half fair. and
two report poor. In most Of the III
ties the condition is similar to that In
Kansas. the state being mostly covered
with snow. Cattle are in goodcondition
with small movement.
In Iowa the crop Of water wheat Is
in good condition. Cattle are alsogood,
with little movement The same Is
true Of wheat in Wisconsin and what
little is grown in Minnesota and South
Dakota. The cattle In all Eve states,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
two Dakotas, are in generally good con
dition. but few are being sent to the
market The cattle that are being
marketed are being taken mostly BY
the local trade.
