Will il be worth anything when finally

We have been watching reports from
different sections Of the wheat growing
regions pretty closely. and it il evident
that the whole country will be blessed
with big wheat harvest. The Southern
states have already cut their wintei

yield ever known in this section :" or,
i" the crop 10 the finest ever raised in
this county," etc. OfcOurse there ara
exceptions to this in some localities,
but a. a general rule the yield is large
and fine. The increase OF acreage in
winter is set down at 2, zoe, 600 acres by
the Commissioner Of Agriculture,
In regard to spring wheat, the report
of the Commissioner is very opportune.
He reports the increased acreage at
1000 900 acres, and its average oondi-
ton very high. Minnesota il rated at
LOG, Iowa at 10, Nebraska at 113,
Wisconsin at ITO, Illinois at 104, Kan
sas at 100, etc.
The immense quantity of 400, 000, 600
bushels ia the aggregate of the country's
crop, as figured out by the American
Miller, which estimates the crop in
Minnesota at GO, OO0, ) t0 bushel, in Iowa.
As, OOO, 600 bushels, in Nebraska, 25,-
OOO, 600 bushels, and even Is, OO0, 900
bushels for Dakota. And what shall
we do with it? We answer by quoting
again from the Miller.
"There will be at least a surplus of
100, 600, 600 bushels available for export;
but who will buy it? If great Euro
pean war was in progress or imminent,
there might q. prospect of disposing
of all Of it; but as the prospects are
peaceful, and there seems to be no great
danger Of crop failures in foreign
il is likely that good many
million bushels will be hard to di1Dse
of at respectable figures. =. Whatever
may accrue TO mliiers
from 80 large q crop a. that OF the
present year promises to be. there will
hardly be any difficulty in procuring
wheat to grind, such as has been the
case in many localities in years past.
