CROP OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
State Secretary of Agriculture's Report
Shows That All Grain Is in
Fine Condition.

MADISON, Wis, May 2.-[Special.l
Farmers this year are at least two
weeks ahead of last year in their crops,
according to the report of John NJ. True,
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture.
Mr.. True has compiled the results of
his correspondence throughout the state,
and lie claims that all of the winter
crops are in very favorable condition
on account of the mild weather during
the past winter.
The secretary further notes that the
damage to spring soWn grain has been
light. He says that more barley has
been sown this season than last, while
less oats have been planted. The high
price Of clover seed has resulted in a
smaller acreage being sown while rye
is about the same as last year The acre
age of corn has increased, and the pota-
to acreage is about the same as last year
The tobacco acreage is decreased, and
more sugar beet has been planted than
ever before.
