V ^GardesJ INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 10,1886. NO 15 VOL XXI. THE CROPS. Acreage and]Condition of Crops in the Central West—Condition of Live Stoek. We publish our first monthly report for the season on the crops. The condition of the wheat crop in these central winter wheat-growing States, as shown in the condensed tables by States, is no doubt a fair indication of the same in the whole winter wheat growing belt. Usually March weather is the most severe on the wheat _plant, but that month this season was not specially hard, and in many localities reports show that the weather was unusually favorable, while in others too dry weather was reported. It must be said, however that the season to date has been backward, and while the plant nnder a few favorable days of sun and showers began to look green and grow, the last days of March and first of April have be«n cold, and growth has been checked, though no damage is reported. WHEAT SUMMARY. Indiana—Per cent of average in area 94, condition 91. Last year same date, area 83. and condition 68. Ohio—Per cent of average area 96 condition 92. List year game date area 92, and condition 78 per cent. Illinois—Pjr cent of average area 90, condition 90. Last year same date, area 86, condition 60. Last year there were but 14 ounties in Indiana which reported a full average area, and but ten counties which reported the condition of the plant at 100 per cent. It will be noticed that this year 49 counties of the State report 100 for area, and 28 oounties 100 on condition. The reports from Ohio and Illinois stand about relatively the same in these respects as Indiana, which show the condition of the wheat plant much better than at the same date last year in all these States. CLOVER AND TIMOTHY. Indiana—Clover 85, timothy meadow 93. Last year same, clover 71 and timothy 91. Ohio—Clover 84, timothy meadow 91. Ltst year same date, clover 90 and timothy 91 Illinois—Clover 81, timothy meadow 90. Last year same date, clover 78 and timothy 94. APPLE AND PEACH BUDS. To reply to the question of "per cent of buds alive," we have for Indiana, apples 88 peaches 70. Ohio—A-pples 85, peaches 67. Illinois—Apples 85, peaches 62. RYE AND BARLEY. These crops are more largely grown in Ohio than in eitherof the other two States. The area and condition do not differ much from that of last year, at same date. We refer the reader to the table of averages by States for present area and condition. LIVE ST^CK. In all three of the State* the condition of live stock is reported high, shoeing generally freedom from disease, and good winter management. The table of averages by States show the per cents in this respect on horses, cattle, sheep and swine. u INDIANA—AVERAGE BY COUNTIES AND DIVISIONS.

Hogs were sold close the past season, and those on hand for summer packing will be lighter in weight than usual it is believed. The present outlook for a good crop of small fruits is very much better than at this date last year. March did not damage it.
