A letter from the Kirkpatrick Christopher Commission of Kansas City, to the Kansas Grain Sc Live Stock of Hutchinson, and published in the News of that City, gives such a clear statement of the present crop prospoct in this state, that we reprint it "entire.

It is dated June 2nd, and as follow: On May 25th, we mailed 150 circular letters to our correspondents and shippers, covering every grain shipping station in Kansas, asking for a full, comprehensive and reliable report of the growing crops in that state. Our correspondents havo very kindly returned us carefully prepared answers to our questions. After compiling all the returns, we have the following result; Present condition of wheat, 101 percent, of average crop. The most reliable information as to acreage is the report of the secretary of the state board of agriculture, who inakes the acreage of wheat 1,315,000. Figuring on an average yield at fifteen bushels per acre (vhich we think low) and adding the ime per cent, in improved condition over uu average crop, we have about 20,000,000 bushels.

This is for winter wheat alone. There is a small amount of spring wheat produced in the northwestern part of the btUe, which would make the total yield, no doubt, something over 20,000,000 bushels. The largest crop the state has produced in ten years was that of 1884, estimated at about 48,000,000 bushels by the state board, and the smallest crop, (hat of hist year, was 'about bushels. Our reports in corn and oats arc more gratifying, and show a wonderful increase in both ncrcugo and condition. Our returns show an increase in acreage of oats over that of last year, which was the largest the 'state, ever had, and improvement in condition over that of last year at this time of twenty-eight per cent.

We figure from our reports that the acreage of corn has increased over that of last year eighteen per cent, and as the acreage was the largest the state ever planted, the increase seems to be very great over an average crop. Our correspondents report the crop as presenting a good stand, so that in the absence of such a calamity as befell the crop by drought last year, Petition for Sale of Real Estate.
