In June, 1872, the indications of the wheat-yield of the United States 
pointed to an aggregate of 220,000,000 bushels. The final estimates for that 
year, prepared for the annual report, as yet unpublished, amounted to 
249,997,000 bushels, the subsequent conditions of growth being more 
favorable than they appeared just before harvest. This aggregate was 
but 11,000,000 below the extraordinary yield of 1869. The acreage of 
wheat reported i is largely in excess of last year. Of winter and spring 
wheat combined, 340 counties report an acreage equal to last year’s, 360 
an increased, and 258 a decreased acreage. <As to condition, 383 report 
full average, 305 above, and 449 below. Upon a careful estimate of all 
the conditions of growth as yet apparent, the wheat-prospect is at least 
ae favorable as at this time last year, when the yield was estimated at 
220,000,000 bushels. With equally favorable conditions for the remainder 
of the Season, a crop of 250, 000,000 bushels may be expected. 
In New England the winter was generally favorable to winter-wheat, 
the snow in many localities affording an excellent shelter against atmos- 
pheric injuries. The general condition is above average, but in spring- 
wheat the balance appears to be in the other direction. 
In the Middle States several instances of winter-killing are noted, 
but in other localities winter-wheat is much more promising, the condi-
