THE WHEAT CRoPs-A GREATER YIELD
received by the Agricultural Department,
indicate an average of 95 for the wheat crop as
a whole. This is about the same as the report
for September of last year, the present area
of cultivation being much larger The
increased area will give a total product in
several States above the usual quantity
making an aggregate for the whole crop of the
United States than in 1872 The quality is
generally superior, and the yield has been
double the usual average where skillful culture
has prevailed.
