All must take tha missionaries
by Ike hand first. Hundred* looked Into Mist

that tuiou fair show and with the country thor

THE OCTOBER CROP REPORT.
Washington, October 10.???In the crop re
ports for October the returns of corn average
higher for condition than any in the past Jive
years, but not so high as in any of the re
markable corn years irom 1S75 to 1379. The
general average is 93 which is very nearly tho
average pf any of the series of ten years aud
indicates about 26 bushels per acre, In a
breadth approximating 70,000,000 acres. The
region between the Mississippi and
tbe Rocky mountains again pre
sents the highest figures, which in
every slate rise a little above the normal
standard of full condition. No state cast of
Mississippi returns conditions high as 100. Tho
lowest figures are 73 in We6t Virginia; Ohio,
75; Louisiana, 74; Texas, 80, and South Caro
lina S3. The reduction is caused by the
drouth. There is complaint of the drouth in
the Ohio valley and in the AtJautic and gulf
states, but not enough to reduce seriously the
yield. The early plan ted corn is everywhere
mstuied. Late plantings in southern state*
have suffered for want of summer rains and
will be light aud not well
filled. Very little injury has
been done by frosts. Thero
was frost in Vermont on the 25th of August,
r.nd in several border states about the middle
of September, with slight injury to late corn.
The damage by chinch bugs and otbor insects
has been slight. Tbe wheat crop will exceed
Ibatoflast year by ubout one hundred mil
lions of bushels. The spring was slow and
lute, w ith the results thus far .confirming the
iudications'of former reports. Tho yield per
acre will averoge about 13J<J bushels. The
quality of the present wheat cron is generally
very good, especially in the eastern and mid
dle states. On the western slope of the Alle
ghenies, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota^
some depreciation in quality is noted. In
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kansis
the avorago for the ontiro breadth is 95 per
cent. Indicated yield of rvo is about 13
bushels per acre, aud the quality, is superior.
The yield of oats is a little above tbo average,
tbe yield being obout 27 bushels per acre
nnd making Die crop approximate
570,000,000 bushels ot good quality. The bar
ley crop makes a yield of nearly 23 bushels per
acre, and the product exceeding 50,000,050
bushels of average quality, The condition of
buckwheat averages 87, indicating a crop
slightly under an average. The condition of
the potato crop is represented by 83, which is
5 points lower than in October of last year,
aud 2 points lower thon in 1879 and 1882, and
Ike same as in 1680. The October return* of
cotton indicate n reduction of nearly 8 points in'
tbe average of condition, from 82 5-105 to
74 7-100, ns the result of continued drouth in
orrc&ting the development and drying the
vitality of tho plant. Tho prospect of tbe
top cron is reduced to a minimum. The
drouth has been general nnd its effect is mani
test in every state. Of the successive crons
only two have averaged a lower condition lu
October 1881 and 1883, when averages wero 65
and 68 respectively. The average was 88 in
the great crop year of 1882. The state aver-
oges arc as follows: Virginia, 81; North Caro
lina, 74; South Carolina, 80: Georgia,. 79;
Florida, 84: Alabama, 74; Mississippi, 76;
Louisiana, 77; Texas, 62; Arkansas, 65; Ten-
nossecf 80. Returns of total cats mate of yield
per acre in fractions of boles indicates an
average rate ol yield ot 36-100 of a bale per
acre. ,
