CROP REPORT.
Condition of Winter Wheat Placed at
 28,267 ,ooo Acres.

Washington, May 10.-Returns to the Statistician of the Deartment of Agricul- ture made up to May, show the area of winter wheat in cultivation on that date to have been about 2s,267, 900 acres. This is 2,015,OO0 acres. or 67 per cent less than area sown last fall, but 2,0S2,O0O acres, or 77 per cent in excess of the winter wheat acreage harvested last year. Of the re- duction, about one-half is reported from Texas and California due in the former State to the ravages of the wheat plant louse and in the latter to the cutting as is not unusual in that State of a consid- erable acreage for forage. In the states that had one million acres or upwards sown last fall the following percentages are reported as abandoned or cut for forage: Missouri, 1; Kansas, 1: Illinois, 19; Pennsylvania 2; Ind, 25; Ohio, 3.2, Tennessee, AT; Michigan, 96; Oklahoma, 12.5; California, IS; Texas, Texas, 42.4. For the area remaining under cultivation av- craze condition May 1 was 92.4. While this average is 10.5 oints above the mean of May averages of the last ten years and has been exceeded only three times in seveteen years, 1t must be remembered that the acreage plowed np. cut for forage or otherwise abandoned has been entirely eliminated. In Kansas the wheat crop has held it's own at the high average of 105, reported April l, while an im- provement is reported of points in Penn sylvania, Ohio and, Indiana: 8 in Illinois and 4 in Missouri On the other hand notwithstanding the elimination in Texas and California of so much of the acerage as will not be harvested, A decline is noted amounting to points in the former state and 14 in the latter.
 The average condition of winter rye on May 1 was 94.6, as compared with 93.1 on April 1, 1901, SS.5 on May 1, 1900; S52 at the corresponding date In 1899 and S92, the mean of May averages of the last ten years. The present condition Is the high est since 1891.
 The average condition of meadow mow- ing lands on May l was 92.S against 90S on May 1, 1900; S49 at the corresponding date in 1899 and 911 the mean of the May averages of the last ten years, the av craze condition of spring pastures on May l was 91.9 against 31.3 on May 1, 1900, S3.5 at the corresponding date in 1899 and 9O.S the mean of the May averages of the last ten years.
 Of the total amount of spring blowing reported as contemplated, it is estimated that only 66.3 per cent was actually done up to May l, the proportion usually done by that date being about 75 per cent of the whole. Only three times in the last fifteen years has the percentage to May been as low as this year. Of the states having one million acres or upward to be plowed this spring, only North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi Louis- jana, Arkansas and Tennessee report the proportionate yield of their respective ten year averages. The lateness of the sea- son Is especially marked in New York; Pennsylvania, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska A report giving the estimated acreage planted In cotton with the condition according to the latest advices, will be issued on May 31.
