Good Outlook for Farmers.

Columbus, Dec. o.-The lot of the
Ohio farmer for the coming year
will average up with the years that
have gone by very favorable if the
last report of the state board of ag-
riculture is any indication of future
conditions. The wheat that the Ohio
farmers will thresh next season, even
if there is no betterment of condi-
tions, which is probable, will run over
90 per cent. of an average crop. The
condition of the growing crop is very
satisfactory and has improved notice
ably since a month ago. No county
in the state shows ;sn abnormally low
average or condition and several
counties show to be up to the aver
age or better. The Hessian fly has
damaged the plants slightly, but il
is not thought to such an extent as
to weaken greatly the growing plant.
