Ohio show about two thirds of the wheat
sown. The wheat looks a little green,
but has come up very upeVenly and lr-
regularly Needs rain badly. and Hessian
fly at work in the wheat. Gathering Of
corn has commenced. but the crop has not
yet shown as well as was expected. A
great deal of understandable corn. Re
ports on winter wheat from Central Hi
nOiS show that the acreage IS generally
below that Of 81 and '9S. Ground IS very
dry, and most OF the wheat IS coming up
very spotted. Farmers complaining bit
terly of grasshOppers, and report them in
great abundance, and that they are do
growing wheat. All late corn damaged
badly by frost. Winter wheat reports
from Southeastern Kansas show wheat
that has been sowed only partially up
and in a very spotted condition More
or less of the wheat that is up is in
very bad condition for the want of rain.
Mess ram comes soon acreage OF wheat
will be materially reduced. Meadows and
pastures gone. Winter wheat reports

They have destroyed considerable wheat,
which will make it necessary to reseed.
