ing the line between Sheldon and the Sioux
River viii. be considered No conclusion
would CRAFTY the people of this vicinity
more, than that, to locate and build this

crop prospects be realized, it seems that

market its surplus at the ter minus of that
road would be OF ample recompense for
extending the road this year

The Greatest Wheat Crop Yet.
Eli Perkins to the n. Y. Sun.
The greatest wheat crop ever raised in
the United States Is now heading out ali
over the West The winter wheat crop in
acreage and yield will be fully a third
larger than ever before raised IN the Uni
ted States The standing crop is univer
sally good | have looked u. the growing
wheat fields within the last ten days, from
Cairo to Chicago, and from Pittsburgh to
Des Moines, and have not seen bad
piece of wheat. In each section l visit
everybody is wondering if it is possible
for the wheat to be az good in other
sections as it is III theirs
When tel' the farmers that the wheat is
Us good in one place Us another, they all
say:
Then wheat will 60 to fifty cents a
bushel after harvest"
Wheat harvesting will commence in
about six days in Texas. The heads, am
told by travelling Texans, are now yellow
and almost ready for the reaper.
In fye weeks ETune 24), wheat in Kansas
and Southern Illinois and Indiana will be
harvested, and by July the reaoers will
have finished in illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Michigan.
The only danger now is that the too
rank growth Of the stoc will lodge the
wheat and cause it to decay before harves.
ting 1t is thought that no insect can
trouble it. Nothing but hurricanes and
great storms Of rain and hail can hurt the
growing grain.
The crop is twenty-five days earlier than
usual. II is heading out MS far north as
the line of Fort Wayne, Rock Island and
Des Moines
Spring wheat also looks we'll, but it is
yet too early to speculate about it. AT
least half more spring wheat than usual
is sown.
A Chicago wheat man said to me today.
Wheat will drop to ~ cents in Minneo-
sofa this fall, 95 cents in New ! ork, and
| believe we will be able to lay it down in
Liverpool at close to 81 bushel."
If American wheat can be laid down in
Liverpool at 81 q bushei, it will ruin the
English farmer, who expects to sell wheat
made on land worth $500 per acre. Five
dollar wheat land in America, cultivated
IN large tracts, will ruin 5000 wheat land
in England and Germany cultivated in
small tracts.
