OATS. 
The oats-crop improved during June in most of the States. Rhode 
Island reports a large falling off, but this is more than counterbalanced 
by the large increase in the other New England States. The drought 
injured the crop in some localities during the latter half of June. The. 
Middle States have risen above average, except Delaware, in which the 
previous low June condition was still further reduced. The South At- 
lantic States, except Maryland and Georgia, fell off during June, but 
the condition of the whole is considerably above average. The Gulf 
States about held their own, and are a little above average. Of the 
Southern inland States, all except Arkansas report an improved condi- 
tion, yet they are still below the average. The States north of the Ohio 
Ktiver all improved during June, and are a full average on the whole. 
West of the Mississippi River, Kansas shows a marked improvement, 
reaching 108, but all the other States of this section declined in condi- 
tion and are below average. The Pacific States are above average, 
California having maintained her June condition, and Oregon having im- 
proved hers. It will be observed from the following notes that public 
opinion in the South is settling down decidedly in favor of winter-crops 
of oats. In some parts of the Northwest rust affected the crops of some 
counties. 
The crop of the whole country, taken together, is about average.
