winter wheat Conditions.

Winter wheat conditions are reported
better than at any corresponding time
on record, the recent seasonable winter
weather having exerted a most favor
able influence upon the crop. The
area of winter wheat sown in Kansas
is 1867, $40 acres, an increase of Z pei
cent. over last years showing. The
average condition for the entire State
is 100 per cent. Reports also indicate
that of the crop harvested in 1900 there
will be no unusually large reserve held
by the farmers. Prospects for a phe-
nomenal crop this year serve to hurry
up the shipment of wheat now held in
elevators and granaries.
