now prevailing at the theater of war is

his elevation to the post of commander

Wheat Poor This Year.

According to the monthly crop report
Just issued the Michigan wheat crop
this year will be poor one. The wealth
er during June was fair for wheat. If
it had been warmer and not so dry there
might have been larger growth of
straw, but the existing conditions were
favorable for the development of the
berry. Very little damage has been
done by the Hessian fly, while the acre
age and yield per acre will each be
small, the quality promises to be good,
The average estimated yield is in the
southern counties eight bushels, in the
central and northern counties eleven,
and in the state nine bushels, while one
year ago the state average was fifteen
bushels per acre.
There was total of 1884 bushels
of wheat marketed in the state in June.
Of this whole amount $4,000 bushels
were marketed in the southern four
tiers of counties, 1910 bushels in the
central counties, and S,S2S bushels in
the northern counties.
