Washington, Aug 10—The August report of the statistician of the de- partment of Agriculture shows the | condition of corn has declined a lit- tle over six points during the past month, the average for the entire | breadth being 87 as against 93 2 for the month of July. This de cline ig due in the main to the drought which bas proved both ex tensive and persistent. While in some parts of the country the con tinued dry weather has injured the | crops beyond recovery, it is true the larger portion of the area devoted thereto that improvement is not ouly possible but with a sufficient rainfall through the month of August will be assured. The average state are: Ohio 85, Indiana 75, Illinois 81, Towa 102, Missouri 95, Kansas 82 Nebraska 84 =There has been a considerable fall- | ing off in the condition of spring wheat since last month, amounting to over ten points, the average con- dition the present month being 67 | as against 77.4 for the month of | July. The condition by states is as follows: Wisconsin 70, Minnesota 67, Iowa 87, Nebraska 79, South | Dakota 63. North Dakota 66.

Much injury also | has been done by chineh bugs and} rust. | The condition of spring rye in| August is 78.5 as against S9 in the | month of July. The condition of | vats has fallen 10 points since the July report being 78.3 as compared with 88.8 last month, while in Aug- usi 1892, it stood 89.2. It is the lowest condition reported for Aug- ust for many years and is due to a} cold wet spring succeeded by con-! tinuous dry hot weather duripg tbe latter part of June and the whole! of July. The August returns for barley show a slight decline iu condition , from that of Jast month, being 84.6 against 86.8 in July, and precisely the same as in the month of June. The acreage of buckwheat is report- ed at 953 as compared with 1892 and condition at 88.8. The condition of potatoes has de-! clined nearly nine points in the last month acd now stands at 86. Condi- | tion in August has only been lower twice in the last decade. The condition of the timothy crop is 89.6, as compared with 93.2 in 1892 | The hay crop on the whole is large and bas generally been secured in good condition, although in some important regions unfavorable con- ditions caused a reduction in the | crop.
