There was a marked decline during August in several of the corn-producing states, the decline amounting to 10 points in Iowa, 9 points in KanBas and 83 points in Nebraska. There was an improvement ol points in Ohio, Ü in Indiana. 8 m Illinois and 3 in Missouri. During the week ending Aug. 8, the rainfall was largely in excess of the average in the principal corn states. The average condition of wheat Nvhen harvested was 81.7.
