Big Area of wheat sown.

The November crop report shows
that the area sowed to wheat this fall
is per cent larger than in 1897. The
percentages are: State, 1903; southern
counties, 103; central, 102, and north
ern, 104. The average condition is 103
in the state; los in the southern coun-
ties; 90 in the central, and 1O1 in the
northern, comparison being average
years. The weather since wheat was
sowed has been remarkably favorable
for continuous growth. During Au-
gust, September and October 1865, 955
bushels of wheat were marketed-367,-
900 blu. more than in the some months
last years. The average yield of corn
per acre in the state is estimated at 81
bu. of ears, equal to about % bu. of
shelled corn.
Potatoes are estimated TO yield about
three-fourths of an average crop.
