with trying to befool the farmers
through high tariffs on corn, wheat,
and other products which we're not
imported, when several Republicans
sought to overcome his argument by
questions. ..
He was asked by Mr.. Mitchell, of
New York, @What relief do the Pop.

LESS THAN HALF A CROP.
Illinois Wheat Yield will Not supply Home
Consumption.

Springfield, H., March 14.-Owing to
the rumors prevailing over the State
since early in January as to the eX-
tent to the injury 10 winter wheat by
winter-killing, the Illinois State Board
of Agriculture asked for reports on the
subject from correspondents in the
wheat belt. the summary Of which Is
given below. The reports corroborate
the prevailing opinions and an untor-
tunate condition is noted. The reports
of damage from this source vary from
- per cent Of the area seeded TO the
entire amount. the average being %
per cent. of the area. Last fall l4I9.-
GOO acres were reported seeded. and if
the estimate of damage is confirmed,
but 6S2, 600 acres will be left for harvest.
In many counties the entire area seeded
will be plowed up. A reduction of the
area seeded of a million acres. which is
reported leaves by far the smallest area
ever harvested in Illinois. Under the
most favorable conditions from now on
to harvest there is little reason to hope
for more than 10,000,00O bushels yield
in the State, which is not nearly enough
to supply the home demand fer con-
sumption and seed for the next years
crop. But six counties report injury to
wheat by Hessian fly, and TO such a
small extent that it cuts no figure in
the result.
