CONDITION OF WHEAT
Is Above the Average--Appie
and Peach Yields Promise
To be Large In the
Country.

Washington, June 1l.-Preliminary
reports of the spring wheat acreage in
dicate a reduction of about 2,51l.00O
acres or 12s per cent resulting in the
main from an increasing tendency to-
ward greater diversifcation of crops,
and reduction of 100000 acres In
Nebraska, consequent upon the grad
nal yielding of spring wheat to win
ter wheat, which is going on in al
most every section of the state.
The average condition of spring
wheat on June l was 95.4. as COM
pared with 92 at the corresponding
date last year, S7.3 on June r. 1100,
and a ten year average of 92.6. The
present reported average condition has
been exceeded only three times in the
last fifteen years.
The total reported acreage in oats
is about fou.-tenths of l per cent in
excess of the acreage harvested last
year. The changes in acreage are very
evenly distributed and are generally
inconsiderable. twenty-five states and
territories reporting some enlarge
ment of their acreage and twenty-four
some reduction. The average Condi-
ton of oats is 906, against S5.3 on
June /, 1901: H1.7 at the corresponding
date in 1900. and ten year average
of 90.
The average condition of apples Is
or the whole unfavorable. OF the four
teen large producing states but two
report a condition above the ten year
average, as follows: North Carolina
SIS, gain of l point, and Michigan ST,
a gain Of points.
The present prospects of the peach
crop are quite favorable, notwith-
standing the fact that several import
ant peach growing states report con-
dit!ons considerably below their ten
year averages.
There has been a marked improve
ment in the condition of spring pas
ture during the past month. An i'm
provement of points is noted in
Ohio, in California, 10 in Michigan,
12 in Indiana. IA in Illinois. IS in Mis-

A Cross In the Circle.

X. c. Journal: The present cam.
paign in Kansas may be dull but 1t is
not without its humors. At Abilene
a big Fusion meeting was held. An
orator from abroad was secured. He
spoke for an hour, and for three.
quarters OF this time he labored elo-
quently with his hearers to "put a
cross in the circle at the head OF the
ticket" and thus vote it straight.
Now, the Fusion statesmen have been
working all through the campaign to
educate their voters not to put a
cross in the circle. The Fusion tick.
ct is scattered all over the official
ballot. Some Of the nominees are
masquerading as democrats" some
as "Populists" and some as "Inde-
pendents." We can imagine the con.
sternation which that speech at Abb
lene caused among the Fusion poll
ticians.

In giving its local candidate a
fattering, well deserved notice a
Fusion paper in this county says that
he is making a clean, honorable can
vass which is true, and that he is
seeking the office on his personal
merits alone, which is doubly and
significantly true. Fusion candidates
are not running for offices on the
merits Of their party this year. They
are seeking favors, are on the hunt
for Repu blican votes, and therefore
are not talking politics. This paper
can't remember that 10 1890, or 1896
