OF the southwest to determine amount
Of wheat that will be left standing for

of Kansas. Green buys are numerous
upon weather in near future. Illinois
in Oklahoma and situation dependent
crop progressing nicely and yield
promises to be much better than last
year. Indiana and Ohio conditions
quite satisfactory. although winter
killing is a more important factor in
these states. Nebraska needs more
rain in parts.
Oklahoma weather and crop report
says: Moisture is now abundant cx.
cept in the extreme southwest. where
rain is needed. Wheat and oats made
fair to good growth and the condition
of these crops improved except where
infested by green bugs. Green bugs
are now reported in most OF the CEN
trail and northeastern counties, and
have caused much damage in parts Of
and Garfield counties. Corn planting
nearly finished in the south, we'll adj
vanced in the central and begun in
the northern portion OF the state.
Thomson & McKinnon to Hopwoodt
& Burnett: Modest reactions in wheat
may be expected at n time, but
there is no pronounced demand for

I can't discover much demand this
