CROP CONDITIONS.
Winter Wheat Considerably Frozen Out

Winter Wheat Considerably Frozen Ont
In Eastern States.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The condition
of winter wheat on the 1st of April, as
reported by the statistician Of the de-
partment OF agriculture, averages So. 7
per cent for the entire country. Last
year the average was 77.4. In 1892 it
wGa 86.2, and 96.9 for the year of 1891.
The corresponding average for rye is
94.4 percent. The averages OF wheat
for the principal states are as follows
Kentucky, SO; Ohio, 80; Michigan, SO +:
Indiana, 90; Illinois, 81; Missouri, 88 !:
Kansas. 72; Nebraska, 85; Iowa, 81.
The average date Of seeding in the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys was late
owing to dry weather. In general, how
ever. the conditions of soil were not un-
favorable to planting and termination.
Very little damage resulted from the
Hessian fly, and that only in sections OF
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri and
KaneaB. The weather from seeding
time until the recent cold waves swept
over the country, excSpt in cases here.
after noted, has been very favorable to
the growth of the plant. In the east
oIut uOKtnOtA nuU uOItuW0btOI4 Hb&to9.
the snow covering has Afforded protec.
tion in addition to that OF mild tempera-
ture.
The returns in regard to the effect
upon wheat resulting from the recent
cold spell are not so satisfactory nor 90
conclusive as desirable. The injury to
the crop is considerable ii not great, but
