GRAIN CROPS.

The wheat crop of 1898 is not quite UP
to promise. according to the report of the
American Agriculturist. This says that in
few States it now appears the promise OF
wheat was not fulfilled in actual grain by
what must seem like large margin, while
in number of States the rate of yield was
even greatar than indicated on July /.
But with full allowance for all disappoint-
ment the fact remains that the crop this
year is the largest on record. The reported
and in spring wheat 15.4 bushels. The final
crop results will appear next month, but
the American Agriculturist says it may not
be amiss to note that if the present rate of
yield indicated shall be maintained the
total production of winter wheat will be
rather under 400. 900 bushels and spring
wheat fully 100000, 900 bushels, subject to
modification next month.
The present report of the American Agri-
culturist on corn places the condition at .85.4.
as compared with s5.6 q month earlier.
The change. while slight, is distinct disa p
pointment, as it was generally believed the
breaking of the drought would advance the
condition of the crop at least to an average
showing for this date. Taking the surplus
States Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, it appears
the present condition in this crop is 78.9, as
against 79.1 one month ago and 80 one year
ago. There is an unusually large percentage
of healthy-appearing stalks which are bear
ing no ears at all, and larger proportion
which have single sar. and that short and
approaching the nubbing condition. The
effect of this will only be fully recognized
when the crop is husked, and 1t is easily |
within the range of possibilities that the |
final report of rate Of yield per acre will
present some marked surprises.
