Of counties reporting winter-wheat, those above average have increased 
14, or nearly 7 per cent.; counties average 66, or nearly 40 per cent. ; 
counties below average 87, or 23 percent. Winter,wheat improved dur- 
ing the month of June, in the general average, of the following States, 
viz: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Ken- 
tucky, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Lowa, California, and Oregon. These 
tates produced considerably more than half the crop of 1872. The 
condition of the crop during June remained stationary in New Jersey, 
Georgia, Illinois, and Missouri. Rhode Island, Florida, and Louisiana 
made no returns. A decline is shown in the remainder of ‘the States, 
which produced about one-third of the crop of 1872. From a careful 
estimate of all the conditions of growth that have come within the pur- 
view of this investigation it would appear that the prospective yield of 
winter-wheat is substantially enhanced since our last report. 
A large proportion of the winter-wheat, in several of the States, was 
reported in June as winter-killed. As the season advanced, however, 
it was discovered that in many cases the crop was only thinned out,. 
and that its increased size and weight of heads and plumpness and 
beauty of berry promised a very considerable compensation for the 
losses of winter. An improvement in quality was also quite generally 
noted in several of the largest wheat-growing districts. In a large 
number of counties, however, wet weather during harvest not only de-
