State. In Missouri corn is holding out
well, but the southern portion of the
State must have rain soon or sustain seri
Gus damage. In Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio corn is backward, but is now max
ing growth.
In the Southern States the corn CROP
is doing we'll except in Texas, Louisiana
and southern Mississippi, where it is
greatly in need of rain. In the Atlantic
coast States the crop has made favorable
progress, but needs cultivation in por-
tons of the Virginia and Carolinas.
Winter wheat harvest has advanced
under favorable con litions during the
week, and is now in progress in the
northern portion Of the central and west
ern Districts of the winter wheat belt
with generally satisfactory results both
as to yield and quality. In Michigan
and portions of Pennsylvania and New
York fly has caused deterioration, and
INCREASED reports Of rust are received
from Ohio and Virginia. In the Carolinas
grain in shock has suffered some injury
from moisture. In California harvest is
progressing in all sections.
In Oregon and Washington the pros
poets continue favorable, AMI wheat is
ripening in the frst-named State. The
spring wheat region has experienced fav-
orable weather conditions, and the out
look for spring wheat is now most en-
couraging, although in northern Mime
sofa some fears Of lodging are enter
tanned. The crop is now heading over
the southern portion Of the spring wheat
region.
In the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic
States the oat crop has made favorable
progress and is generally improved in the
States of the upper Mississippi and up
per Missouri valleys.
The general outlook for hay is satlsfac-
tory except in portions of the Ohio, cen
trail Mississippi and lower Missouri val
leys, where it is not as good as usual.
Having is now in progress in the more
northerly sections.
The reports respecting apples are some
what more encouraging in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Kansas, but in the oth~ I'M
portant apple States the outlook is less
promising, and dropping continues to be
extensively reported.

declares, is the best in his collection.
