Wheat Crop Better Than Average.

The wheat crop in West Virginia is
In better condition now than IL was
last year at the same time and better
than the average has been for the last
ten years at the same period in the
year. according 70 statistics given out
by the department of agriculture at
Washington. The figures show that
$4,000 acres are in wheat in the state
at this time and that only 3.3 per cent
OF the acreage sowed has been aban-
doned. The condition of rye is stated
to be as good as it was last year and
better than ii has been for the aver
age OF the last ten years. The condi.
ton of hay is about the same as last
year but not so good as for the last
ten years. Spring pasture is not in as
good condition either. Spring blowing
and planting, however. are farther ad.
vanced than the average for the last
ten years.

The English bondholdcrs viii strongly
oppose any attempts to sell the road un-
der foreclosure. as undct such proceed

cred as possible purchaser Of the Orient
road. and say that it will continue to be
operated under independent management
