Will Be No Peach Crop.

The state statistician has issued tr crop bulletin for the period ending April 10. It says, in part: ‘‘The reports show peaches killed everywhere,, and in some localities the trees injured)' to a great extent. Other faults promise only a fair yield; many varieties of berries suffered from the drought of last summer and the faeezlng of the past winter, and so far as reported, the indications are that we shall haye a short crop. Inquiries were sent out the last of March. In the report 100 per cent represents the average acreage and average condition. The aver*age wheat condition in Indiana, as shown by the reports, is 75; ths average aoerage, 78. The average oats acerage is 80.”
