by him. Thus Mr.. Gerow's Graham
county correspondent reports wheat
fine. good prospect as we ever had"
yet he makes the condition 80, or ten
per cent below satisfactory. The Mar
shall county correspondent does about
the same. He says there is no damage
to the wheat from green bugs or dry
weather, yet Its condition is 90. These
men desire to be conservative. Wash
ington county. adjoining Marshall,
makes a consistent report: Wheat In
fine condition.; 100 per cent" The Ell
lis county correspondent says they
have a heavy stand and with rain will
have a 20-bushel CROP yet he makes
the condition SIS.
OF course, conservative reports are
always desirable, but these reports
show the difference in mems minds as
to what constitutes a condition of 100.
Probably in the average mind a con-
dition of 100 means a yield of about
20 bushels per acre, with one bushel
off for every five points under the 100
mark. Thus a condition of 80 would
indicate a yield of 16 bushels. Last
year the final average yield for the
state was 14.6 bushels per acre, which
would give a condition of 10 at har-
vest time.
