CHICAGO. March 23.-The Tribune
publishes a summary of opinions by
wire from the various counties of Ohio,
Indiana, the southern two-thirds of
Illinois. Kentucky. Missouri and Kan
saS. These six states, according to the
government figures, produced one-half
of last winters wheat crop. Figured
for the entire field the predictions of
nearly half the correspondents are for
a crop as large or larger than that OF
last year. Twenty per cent of the re-
ports claim that the yield will be half
of last years crop or even less, many
of the reports in Illinois practically
suggested partial crop failure. BY
far the worst showing is made by Hi
nois. Over so per cent OF the cor
respondents reporting say that the out
look is poor, none reported good and
only about Is per cent admit that it is
any way promising.
In Missouri the reports summarized
do not color the situation as being
either bad or particularly promising.
The summarized report is rather on
the fence. There are great many
claims. however, of yields of a half
crop or less
The Kansas showing is the best of
any of the states covered. Two-thirds
of the dispatches state that the outlook
is excellent and the prospective yield
greater than for 1896. There are a few
reports claiming total failure and a
few claiming a yield barely equal to
that of last wear
