How About Wheat And Fruit?

The Aptil Crop Report says: "The wheat top is very generally reported dead, but hope is enterlained that the root is yet alive. While do satisfactory estímate of condition ie possible at this date, it is noticeable that the estímate as given by corresponderás is muuh lower than given one year ago; in the southern counties seven per cent lower, in the central counties eleven per cent lower, and in the State seven per cent lower, the comparison each year being with vitality and growth of average years. Since the first of April there has been about the usual amount of rainfall for the time of year, and ihe temperature has been elightly above the normal." The reporta from Washtenaw county say : "We can hardly teil what the cocdition of wheat is; everything is covered with clay mud in this township. - Think wheat is in the best condition I have known it for years. - It has been too dry and there has been too much bare ground. Ice killed a good deal, but it may come on yet - Wheat on well drainedíand looks wel', but on clay not well drained it is very light. Taking the late sowing and dry season into consideration, it has come through March locking well." . The report in regard to Washtenaw fruit prospect is by Jacob Ganzhorn. He says: "All of the Iruits, excepting the peach, have come out of the winter uninjured. The Crawford buds are largely killed, also nearly all other varieties of peaches on very young trees. Hill's Chili aad gome other like hardy sorts are good. But bb the Crawford predominates largely in number of trees, the coming erop on the whole does not promise over 50 or 60 per cent. The outlook seems similar to the season of 1886 with respect to peaches."
