July Crop Report.
	
The wheat estimates lor the 1891 crop
are based on the number of acres in
May as shown by the returns of supervisors, and the average yield per acre
as estimated by crop correspondents.
The final footings of the supervisor's
reports are not yet obtained, but the
acreage, as herein given is not likely to
be materially changed. The estimates
|>of yield per acre have been made while
the crop was yet standing, and are of
course subject to revision later in the
season.
The number of, acres' of wheat in the
state in May of this year, as shown by
returns eompiled,was 1,581,774. Multiplying the acres in each country by the
estimated yield per acre, and. footing
the products, gives 24,671,558 .bushels
as the probable total yield in the state.
This is an average per acre of 16.27
bushels in the southern counties, "12.40
in the central counties, and 11.27 in the
northern counties.
The area in wheat this year is more
than 140,080 acres greater than harvested in 1890.
The number of acres of wheat harvested in 1890 was approximately 1,438.-
200; yield 22,960,099 bushels, an average of 15.96 bushels per acre. The
area harvested in thesouthern counties,
as tabulated for this report, was 15,020
acres less than reported on the ground
in May, 1890. In the central counties
the area harvested was 9,088 acres
greater, and in the northern counties
7,871 acres greater, than reported in
wheat one year ago. The decrease in
the southern counties is due to the area
winter-killed or otherwise destroyed,
and not harvested and hence not reported in wheat one year ago. The
decrease in the southern counties is
due to the area winter-killed or otherwise destroyed, and not harvested and
hence not reported, while in the central and northern counties the increase
is spring wheat sowed after the assessment was taken. In May 1890 it was
estimated that ten per cent of the area
in wheat in the southern counties would
be plowed up because winter-killed or
otherwise destroyed. -"**
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers in June
is 889,861. Of this amount 319,270 bushels were marketed in the first or southern tier of counties; 133,063 bushels in
the second tier; 198,030 bushels ih the
third, tier; 154,171 bushels in the fourth
tier; 71,372 bushels in the fifth and
sixth tiers; and 13,955 bushels in the
northern counties. At 106 elevators
and mills from which reports have been j
received there was no wheat marketed
during the month.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed in the eleven months
August-June is 14,881,831, or about 65
per cent of the crop of 1890. The number of bushels reported marketed in
the same months of 1889-90 was 14,012,-
430 or 61 per cent of the crop of 1889.
Report- were recived in 1890 from about
78 per cent, and in 1891 from about 90
per cent of the elevators and mills in
the southern four tiers of counties.
The area planted to corn in thesouthern counties is reported at three per
cent less, and in the central counties at
two per cent less, than in average
years. The condition in the southern
counties is 92, in the central 8(5, and in
the northern 94 per cent, comparison
being with vitality and growth of average j ears. The backward conditiSn of
corn is due to the cold, dry weather in
May. Oats like corn were injured in
May and have not fully recovered. The
figures for the southern counties are
87, and for the central 77.
Theare.a planted to potatoes is greater than in average years in every section of the state." The condition of this
crop in the southern ssction is 98, or
only two per cent below condition in
average years. In the central counties
the condition is 86 and in the northern
88. •
Tha average condition of meadows
and pastures and of clover sowed this
year in the southern, counties is about
83, and in the central and northern
counties about 51.
The low condition of potatoes, and of
meadows and pastures, in the central
[and northern counties, is due to the
drouth that has prevailed so much of
the lime during the spring'and sum
mer. Light rains occured on the third
and-again near the close of June, nnd
heavier rains occured on the 15th, 16th
and 17th, but these were insufficient to
put the ground in ,gopd condition after
the severe drouth in May. Heavy and
prolonged rains"1 are greatly need in
these sections.
The apple crop in the southern counties is now estimated at about trvvo-
fifths, in tbe central at one-third, and
In the northern at about one-fourth of
an average.

P. P. MAST & CO.'S TRAIN.
Description of the Great Train which ■will
Leave for the West July 4th.
(From the Springfield, Ohio Daily Kepnblic-Times, June 23, 1891.)
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a remarkable train will
leave the Arcade depot over the Big
Four, the I., I. & L, and Santa Fe routes
for Kansas City and the Great West.
It will consist of forty cars, all exactly
alike in size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60,0.00. lbs. loaded with
BUCKETE "CQ-VT DOAVTf DMLXS
of all styles and sizes, over 1,600 In
number, including pin hoe drills.spring
hoe drills and shoe drills of from eight
to twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
with press wheels and some Without,
nnd rigged for from two to six horses;
and including quite a large lot of. the'
combined grain and grass feed fertilizer
drills, which the people of Kansas are
beginning to call for, and which have
for years been used in the East.
This will be the largest shinnient of
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will be greater than the entire product
of some good-sized factories. * Some
idea of its magnitude may be gathered
from the facts that the weight of the
drills will be about 1,450,000 pounds,
their value, at wholesale, between $80,-
000 and $90,000. and the freight charges
between $9,000 and $10,000.
Each car will be elaborately decorated with banners, flags, and bunting and
will be made otherwise attractive.
A special feature of the train will be
TWO ADVERTISING CARS.
One, an open platform car on which
will be a pairof handsome dapple-grey
horses, 15J hands high, harnessed to a
Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill, 'and at
all stops the people will bo given an
opportunity to examine the drill, and,
by competent attendant, will be shown
the advantages of the low-down principle, the four wheels, the limber tongue and the single lever. Both the
car and the horses will be decorated
and will make an exhibit worth going
miles to see.
From the other advertising car,which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very liberally, in the towns
en route, souvenirs of the great shipment in the form of an elegant.special-
ly Imported picture dards commemorative of the occasion; also other advertising novelties in useful and attractive
forms. The train will not be run at
night in order that all towns may be
passed in daylight.
The drillsjn this are sold to dealers
in Kansas and AVestern Missouri, and,
with the exception of a few car loads,
which will be set out at different points
in Missouri, the solid train will be run
through to Kansas City, where it will
be divided, and each ear fordwarded to
its destination-.
This shipment is the opening,of the
season, only a starter for the tremendous fall trade which is already assured
and another large shipment will soon
follow to St. Louis, to supply the trade
tributary to that point in Southern III
inois and Eastern Missouri. Still another will soon be started for Texas,
and later on another for Kansas and
Western Missouri, as this lot does not
fill nearly all the orders from that section, and many car loads are not to be
shipped until Aug. 1st to loth, or later. .
This shipment clearly breaks fhe
record in the drill business, and shews
the popularity of the Buckeye Low
Down Drills throughout the West.
