nearly 1900 miles In the corn belt and
passed through some Of the richest
country in the cereal-bearing States.
and, outside OF q few spots here and
there we heard reports unvarylng in
their cheerfulness. We heard almost
nothing but favorable statements on
all the cereals. Conditions appear to
be as nearly perfect as they could be,
excepting slight excess Of moist
