There was good food of messages bear
ing on the crop outlook. A dozen differ
ent reports were seen, some of them
very contradictory. Lyle, of New York
has been through Indiana and says that
on the whole he found it poor. Houston
OF Kansas City, gave report on Kan
sas of like tenor.
Smiley, secretary of the state grain
commission, says conditions are not as
good as generally supposed, and hints
at half a crop for Kansas, although this
IS directly contrary to numerous reports
OF private investigators, who claim gem
eral conditions very promising, with a
wichita, the State Millers association
reports everything encoura ging for a
good Kansas crop. King, of Toledo, says
that calculations based on reports from
thousands of correspondents, show pros
poets for Very good yield. 1t was in
all a Jumble of reports, with nothing
stIlklngly new discovered in them ali.
The Price Current says the outlook for
the Wnole field is fully maintained and
that agriculture in every line starts the
spring under very satisfactory conditions
