The outlook for fruit this year is
much above last year, for condition
a year ago was 60 percent. Two
years ago the condition estimate
was 33 percent. The crop of sum-
mer apples will probably not be so
large as last year, because fewer
buds were set after last years heavy
crop of apples.
Alfalfa hay condition is estimated
at IS percent, while clover and tim
othy hay conditions are around rs
percent. Last years alfalfa condi-
ton was "a percent and the condi-
ton of the other hay crops was bet
ter than 90.
The melon crop is in fair condi-
ton, though paintings were late
The acreage will not differ much
from last year
Acreage sown to oats this spring
in Ohio is estimated at S percent
more than last years acreage. Oats
are very late, and the indications
are, on the assumption of reasonably
favorable weather from now on, for
about three-fourths of a crop. The
forecast of wheat based on June 1
conditions shows a slight increase
over the May forecast, with indica-
tions for an increase of around L.
600, 200 bushels, according to Sta
tistician West of the Federal Crops
Reporting Service. United States
forecast shows decrease of some
thing like 100000 bushels during
the month, with an estimated win
ter wheat forecast of 580,541, 900
bushels.
Most of the oats increase is in sec
tions of heavy winter killing of
wheat. The condition of oats in
western and central Ohio is lower
than in northern Ohio where there
is better growth of the plants. In
most fields the stand of oats is good.
The wheat fields of northern,
northeastern and parts of southern
Ohio show the best condition. The
plants seem to be healthy in all
parts of the state, with the low con-
dition in western and central Ohio
due to effects of winter killing.

The Home of the SouI

IN olden times, 1T was believed
that the seat of the soul was the
stomach, most likely for the reason
that a man is never so completely
used up as when his stomach is out
of order. For the cure of ordinary
stomach troubles, there is nothing
quite so prompt and satisfactory as
ohahperlaln's Tablets. They
strengthen the stomach and enable
1T to perform its functions naturally.
Give them trial. They only cost
a quarter

And if you salted down dime be-
