The nrmclnal crop last vear was corn , fol lowed by oats , and n full crop was had of Doth. There is a slight increase in acreage of corn this year. Hyo and oats will bo about the same as last yoar. Corn was late planted on account of rainy weather , but is looking well nnd with n favorable season will make a full crop.

The acreage is about 10 per cent moro than last voar. Collections nro fair and trade is also fair for the time of yonr , aud prospects nro promising for the futuro. Corn and wheat were the principal crops ot last year , and the acreage this year is aoout the samo. Prospects nro considered good. It was too wet in May and it is get ting very dry now. Collections nro fairly well mot. XurkolU. farming land was in great demand hero thls.ttpring and all available land was pur chased oriented and cultivated to the full limit. Tlio ncreago is greater than lust year , ab now land is being broken up each fall. The acreage of fall wheat is larger than last year , mid prospects are first-class for n peed crop , as it U looking bolter than at this time last \ oar , and it was then a good crop. In this county probaoly .W.OOO or 00.000 acres nro in winter wheat. This crop has never failed hero for eight or nine years and moro is sown each year , as the land Is placed In cultiva tion. Its proseut condition Is fair. With a few good rains , there will bo n good crop , from twenty to thirty bushels per aero. Oats IOOK bad. There will bo nearly n failure of this crop , owing to late rains and the baked condition of the ground. Collodions nro peed with this county. Trade is hardly up to the average. A good crop Is looked for this fall , owing to the short crop In this and other states , which will niaka trade fair this full. The stand now is excellent. In some few fields com is Just coming up but in others It Is being cultivated. Collodions tire bottci'jln some puts of this county , and have boon all snrinir , than for several years and the demand for money Is not so great , but Urn ruto ts still hold at ntiout ono or one and a half per cent per month , I'uunoe. The principal crop last year was corn , and this ynar's acreage In aboul thosumo as last's. . There Is a trifle moro wheat this pear than last , and not BO much outs no lust ; consldora- lo ila < c last year and none this year to spcnU of. Wheat ami all other crops except llax wore good last year. Wheat this year looks well , oats fairly well and corn very late , with ground In ton condition for cultivating. Collections are fair , Trndo In general mer chandise Is good and farmers nro In good spirits , Principal crops were wheat and corn last year , and this year the ucrnago shows about 4ll,0H ( ) Incrcaio , or 'M per cent to 40 per cout. Crop prospects are almost tbo same as last year ut.this time , if utiy difference they are bolter. 'Ibero is not much danger of a crop failuio excepting by hail.

Oats and barley have heen sown to n consldurablo extent. hniall crops are looking flnu but backward , Corn , wheat , oats , rye , broomcoru and bailey are tlio principal crops. About ttiu suuio acreage of uach Is planted this year us lubt , excepting corn , which may lie n little less on account ot winy weather at tlmo of planting.

Wheat shows an acreage of 'Al per rent moro thU year , while corn Is about the samo. Crops were never moro prosperous. Larger acreage and nice rams lately have improved them much. Prospects nro gcod for wheat. Corn is late , and for that reason prospects nro not up to the avcrago. A great deal of breaking has boon done and n great deal to do. Farmers are soiling corn nnd hogs and paying dorjts first rate. Taken all In all , merchants nnd farmers fool en couraged. Collections are good and not many to make. Condition of 'trado Is an average. No failures in this section. IMnttu. Principal crop * last ynar were corn and oats. Aureago this year is about 29 per cout moro than last , o\vins' to the breaking up of now lands. Crops arc In about the same proportion as last year , with an Increase in sugar boots. Crops look good this year , but are about two weeks late. All are growing . very rapidly nnd doing well. Collections nro fair. Trade U dull , but Improving. The general outlook Is encouraging and prospects are gcod. Polk. Corn was the principal crop last year and tboro was an abundant yield , The acreage this your is perhaps larger than last as many of the farmers raised moro llax and small grain than usual , but llax was not a success and there is comparatively little growing this yoar. Oats is next in importance and while the crop Is doing well the yield will not be as lurgo this year. Fall wheat nnd rvo arc about the same as lust yoar. A largo amount of corn is now being sold at good prices and the demand for loans is ligbt. The prospects for both merchants and farm ers uro encouraging nnd crops are looking well. Ilroomcnrn is also a staple In some parts of the county. A good deal of land Is being nut in hay , timothy , clover and the like. Collections uro a little slow. Trada is good and money is plenty at the hanks. There never was as much idle money In the ' hands of bankers in this county bo'foro , the farmers not needing it , as they have monov on deposit.

This year's acreage Is at least ono- tbiru larger than last's , and the prospects nro very good , never known to bo Better at this season or tbo yoar. Crops nro now as sured u n loss damaged by hull.

Tbo principal crop last year was corn , nnd wheat came next.

The acreage of wheat will not vary greatly from last year. The general oullook Is good , though planting was late. There will bo no poaches and ap ples will bo light.

Irrigation in this county makes crops sure. Suwiiril Principal crop last year was corn. The acreage for this season Is somewhat late , owing to the heavy ruins rendering it Impos sible for tboso who had n largo ncrougo to gut in tlio seed. The tendency for the lust two years bus boon toward a greater divoril- ticalion of crops. Moro fall wheat and bar ley have boon put In than Is usual , the greaicr gain being In wheat. Prooablv the crop that Is now in the most critical condi tion is oats , they being vorv snort and will soon head out. From present nppournnces tno oat crop cannot bo b'tavy , und will almost certainly not exceed a three-quarter yield. Corn is well up , considering the bid condition of tlio ground when seeded. The crop has done well the past two weeks , Rye looks well , is bonding out , and Indications point to an abundant yield. Collections ire easy. Trade is light.

Htiintnn. Tno principal crop last year was corn , and there was a good crop ever the entire county. Tbls year , however , on account of the late and wet spring the crops are moro diver sified , there being less corn planted. This voar there will bo moro wheat than ever be fore iu the county's history , but still the pre vailing crop is corn. There will also bo a largo increase in the ncroago of oats.
