CROP RETORTS. 
(Continued from pwe 427.) 
Nebraska. 
Clarksville, Merrick Co.—Wheat acreage one- 
tblrd less than last year: outlook good on upland. 
Many farmers would like to plant twice tlie 
amount of corn they raised laBt year, but the 
ground is too wet to work; outlook poor. Orchards 
are too young to bear. Wild plums and gropes 
are plentiful. J. m. 
Bennett Sta., Lancaster Co.—Winter wheat is 
almost a total failure; a few fields are fair, but 
most of It has been plowed and resown to spring 
wheat; acreage rather more than last year—al¬ 
most wholly Grass Wheat (a Winter or Spring 
sort); White Russian variety a failure here, but 
occasionally a fair crop. Oats a full crop; looking 
dne; a little more sown than last year. Little rye 
and less barley. Rye is sown in Fall, and is look¬ 
ing well. Corn prospect good; but much of It will 
be late; much to be planted yet. Early corn knee- 
high; acreage larger than last year. There are 
but few hearing orchards; almost all are young. 
Apples and cherries will be good. Peach trees al¬ 
most all killed to the ground; climate 1 b too un¬ 
certain for peaches. Plums always bear. Rasp¬ 
berries and strawberries fine crops. Blackberries 
partly killed. 8. a. b. 
Sarpy Center, Sarpy Co.—The prospects for small 
grains are good for an average yield; acreage 
about the same as last year. Chief among many 
sorts of Spring wheat are Big China, Golden Drop, 
Minnesota Spring and Grass. The prospect for 
corn Is very unfavorable, some farmera have not 
finished planting now in the middle of June ; a 
great deal had to he replanted and much of it was 
put in with listers, and the season was unfavor¬ 
able for that way of planting, so that under the 
most favorable circumstances we won’t have more 
than halt a crop. The acreage will be less than 
last year. Orchard fruit Is, In great, part a failure. 
Small fruits (with the exception of cherries and 
plums) are plentiful. j.o.b. 
Greenwood, Cass Co.-Wheat acreage fully as 
large as last year; outlook for wheat and other 
small grains better than It has been for years, 
corn acreage larger than ever before and outlook 
fully as good aB last year for a large yield per acre. 
Prospect for orchard and small fruits good. h. c. 
Dakota. 
Yankton, Yankton Co.—owing to our terrible 
floods and occasional rains the acreage of all small 
grains is scarcely half what It was last year. This 
Is also true ot com, which Is very late. All small 
grains look better than I’ve ever seen here. We 
shall have more fruit this year than ever before, 
because new orchards are coming Into bear¬ 
ing and the crop is good. All small fruits will be 
lull crops. J. t. A. 
Jamestown. Stutsman Co.—The area of wheat In 
this coumy 13 about ls.ooo acres—nearly double 
that of last year; prospects never so favorable— 
Scorch Fife entirely. Oats and barley are fine- 
No rye; no frnlt. B. P. w. 
Watertown, Codington Co.—The present crop of 
wheat is the third ever raised in this county, which 
has been settled only three years; the acreage as 
compared with last year, is ten to one; the outlook 
is good for wheat, oats and barley. Very little 
rye—somewhat winter.killed. We 90w chiefly 
scotch Fife and Lost Nation wheat, spring being 
very late, little corn was planted; it Is small, but 
looks well, and la of a good color. We are experi¬ 
menting with fruit trees; they have wintered 
well, small fruits that are old enough to bear are 
heavily loaded. s. s.

CENSUS AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. 
The agricultural statistics collected by the late 
census are by far tbe most correct of all. The 
statistics of the Agricultural Department are 
necessarily to a great extent guese-work, and 
those ot the State Boards of Agrlcullure and news¬ 
papers are In the same category. Those of the 
decennial census are, however, from the very na¬ 
ture of the mode in which they are collected, as 
nearly accurate as it is possible to mate them. 
They have accordingly a peculiar Interest for farm¬ 
ers, and therefore having Just received from the 
Census Office those already tabulated, we hasten 
to place them before our readers.

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
The fruit trees of Hartford, Conn., are so 
scourged by caterplllara that they are as brown as 
If swept by fire. Apples appear to be the favorite. 
.Worms are playing havoc with corn In 
Balnbrldge, Ga., and a sorry crop la Inevitable; 
but waterme Ions are doing well and there will be 
a big crop.Gatesvllle, Texas, is overrun 
with wolves that are making havoc in sheep folds. 
In some parts of the country they kill the sheep In 
the daytime.At least one-third of the corn 
crop Is entirely destroyed In Chancery, Ga., caused 
by a small white worm which bores Into the 
young 8talk j ust above the root.In Arkansas 
a species of cut-worm has completely destroyed 
the stands of cotton on a great many large planta¬ 
tions. Many portions of the State are overrun 
with locusts.Reports from Oglethorpe, Ga., 
give more worms and hugs, wuh greater appetites 
than ever known before, and the cut-worm has 
gone over to tobacco chewing In South River, Md. 
.Even Texas complains of a rainy season 
that is ruining crop prospects, and Alabama cries 
out In Borrow over bud worms, and cold nights 
that are demoralizing farmers in Greene County. 
.The entire Chowan section of North Caro¬ 
lina is suffering incalculable injury through the 
locust plague. Wnoie iorests of valuable timber 
have been destroyed by the pests stripping the 
bark and depositing their eggs.Farmers 
about Joliet, Ill. report fruit ruined, hay lesa than 
half a crop, while farmers from Lake City to Bid- 
well, Cal., say that all crops are looking well and 
the yield will be the largest ever known in the 
valley... The grasshoppers, locusts and cotton 
worms have become such a burden that some 
TexaB farmers will try the experiment of import¬ 
ing the Lubbock beetles from Russia that are very 
voracious and live on these pests, 
Rose bugs are making sad havoc among the 
apple and blackberry blossoms all along the line 
of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. Growers 
Bay that their work has been so thorough that the 
crop will hardly he wort h the plcklug.wire 
worms are destroying the wheat fields ot the Wll- 
llamctte Valley, California; a peculiar caterpillar 
is st,r! pplng the ash trees of the Butte Creek region 
of their foliage, and chintz bugB are working on 
the barley fields In Spring Valley, Minn. 
Ashes are said to he sure death to the Army worm, 
and have been tried with reat success at Potsdam, 
N. Y., by Lorenzo Norton. He Bowed the ashes 
on a strip of land when the dew was on, and at 
night the ground was literally covered with the 
worms.in JefTerson Township, Pa., the 
Army worms devoured completely seventeen acres 
of grass and two acres of corn belonging to Frank¬ 
lin Groll, and as they were about to enter another 
field of his he plowed a ditch into which they 
fell, when he burned them. Joseph Kalbach, 
of the same place, lost eleven acres of grass. 
A simple remedy for all insects that annoy farmers 
is given by a Wenona, 111., agriculturist. He says: 
“ Gather all the old straw and hay Into long rows 
around orchards, potato and cabbage patches, and 
set. fire to one end to burn against the wind all 
night, and they will burn up millions and millions 
every night of the male insects that fly, and bugs 
of all kinds and descriptions, such as destroy the 
trees and potatoes, and all the cabbage, and the 
canker worms on the apple trees. They will fly 
right Into the blaze and burn their wings olT, and 
drop Into the fire. I told a man to do that who 
said the ground In his potato patch was or iwllng 
alive with potato bugs. He plowed a ditch around

This year the thirteen year brood will cover the 
greatest area In the Southern States and in the 
Mississippi Valley. The entomologists say that 
the two broods of thirteen years and seventeen 
years have not appeared simultaneously before 
since l««o. Agriculturists may he content with 
the prediction that they will not again appear in 
the Bame year until 8102. This “harvest fly,” or 
periodical locust, is a large black Insect, with red 
eyes and four transparent wlngB. The Insects are 
harmless, although It Is said that the females 
sometimes, while carrying food to their young, 
may Inflict a painful sting If Interfered with. The 
only Injury which they may cause la In boring 
holes In the trees In young orchards for the de¬ 
posit of eggB. 
■•Why so much delay Hi selecting the Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment station ?" la a question often 
asked, it seems the Comptroller hesitated to grant 
the funds for the farm under the notion that the 
bill granting the appropriation was unconsti¬ 
tutional. His doubts having been removed, the 
money la ready and the station will probably be 
soon located. So say some ; ottaere say there will 
still he a world of delay.
