The following table shows the condition and prospects of winter and 
spring wheat, respectively, about the Ist of June. ‘Three States— 
Rhode Island, Florida, and Louisiana—make no returns of wheat-culture 
whatever, while in many counties of other States this branch of farm- 
ing is so inconsiderable as to exciteno remark. Some of the counties 
reported grow both winter and spring-wheat. Of 751 counties reporting 
the condition of winter-wheat, 202 are above average, 168 full average, 
and 381 below. Of 286 counties growing spring-wheat, 193 are above 
average, 115 full average, and 68 below. Judging from the relative pro- 
portions of the above figures, the prospects of spring-wheat at this date 
appear more flattering than those ef winter-wheat, the former showing 
218 out of 286 counties full average or above, while in the latter favor- 
able reports came from less than half. The character of the winter-wheat 
crop is pretty nearly determined, but the spring-sowing is just at the in- 
ception of its career, and has the vicissitudes of a whole season yet be- 
fore it. From the reports already received an active campaign with 
insect enemies is foreshadowed in portions of our wheat-growing area, 
the result of which it is impossible to anticipate. A very great increase 
of acreage and an encouraging prospect of spring-wheat are indicated in 
the Northwestern States. >) ae
