IS GENERALLY GOOD

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 13.-The
condition of wheat In Ohio Is general
ly good and is estimated at 81 per
cent by G. J. West, agricultural statis-
tician of the state federal crop report
ing service. Last years estimate was
practically the same as this years and
was followed by decided improve
ment and then by a marked decline.
The erratic changes of last year in
the condition of wheat only show the
uncertainties that pertain to an esti-
mate OF the wheat crop early in the
season.
The effects of the severe weather
during January and February Of last
winter should soon become apparent
Many fields are spotted by freezing
out Of the plants. It is estimated
from present indications that 10 per
cent OF the plants have been winter
killed. The fall damage from fly is es-
timated at not more than three per
cent. Wheat condition throughout the
United States averages SO per cent
which compares with 81 per cent a
year ago.
