Reports on Its Condition as Sent Oat by the Farmer’s Review. Reports on the winter wheat, as received by the Farmer’s Review. Bhow ihat in most of the States a critical point has been reached, and on the next few weeks will depend the future of the crop. In Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky there has been so much freezing nnd thawing, alternating with ice and snow, that many of the correspondents " confess .themselves at this time qnable to tell the exact condition ot the plant. In Ohio more than halt mr'. the correspondents : re- ’ port the ■condition as good, and most of tho remainder report fair. A very few report the .condition as bad or doubtful. In some* Ol tire counties that report the,condition as good, the plant had made hut small growth when it went into winter quarters, but as it has been coveted with a good blanket of snow a,ll winter It is at present An good condition'‘for an early spring start. Altogether the outlook in this State is better than most of the wheat States in the West. In Michigan the ground is covered with snow to such a.depth that little can be told concerning the condition of wheat. It is known that on many of the level fields and especially qn-the low lands ice has formed under the snow and damage is almost certain to result. Besides this . the condition last fall was not good in certain counties on account of the late sowing and the ravages of the Hessian fly. In Missouri a few, of the correspondents report wheat in good condition, more report fair, and most. report the condition as bad or doubtfuL In Kansas and Nebraska the general outlook seems, to be good, but there is so much uncertainty about it that it will require a few days of warm weather to reveal its true condition. In lowa the fields are still covered with snow to such a depth that it is believed the crop is yet safe, but the danger will come when the snow melts Thesamois true of the wheat in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

CONTROL THE PRICE OF F’LOUR. Spring Wheat Millers’ Association Now An Practical Operation. The Spi log Wheat Millers’ Association Is now in operation. It has at present a membership of several hundred miliars, representing a daily output of flour reaching into the hundreds of thousands of barrels. The States covered are Minnesota, North Dakota, lowa, Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and the spriug-wheat mills of New York State at. Buffalo, Rochester, and Niagara Falls, The conception of a xombiue dates from the organization of the Southern Minnesota Millers’ Association three ot four years ago. The principal object of that Association waß to fix the minimum price at which flour should bo sold. The headquarters of the Association are in the Corn 'Exchange Building, Minneapolis. Should the spring wheat dealers’ combine prove a success there is hut little doubt that the winter wheat dealers, who constitute an equally powerful branch of milling, would organize in like manner.
