friend of free trade, is very busy these
days denouncing the small temporary
duty imposed on imports from Porto
Rico. but were that party to gain con-

CROP REPORT
Issued by the Ohio State Board Of Agri-
culture.

The regular monthly report of the
Ohio State Board of Agriculture has
just been issued, and it contains the
following information.
The area sown to wheat in the fall
of 1899 for the harvest of 1900, ac-
cording to the returns made by Town
ship Assessors, amounted to 2,71S,513
acres, good average area for Ohio.
AS the season advanced the work of
the Hessian fly became most ruinous.
No portion of the State was fully eX-
empt from its ravages. while in some
counties and sections the destruction
was total. Never, perhaps, has the
destruction of wheat by fly been so
general and so severe.

situation:
