Here are some interesting facts and
figures from the Minneapolis end of
the Pioneer-Press, our readers will
vote confirmation of our statement,
the other day, that minnesota s
forty million bushels, of wheat Was
a great exaggeration. They will also
note that it is admitted that little or
none of the old crop of wheat is left
in the greater part of the state. Sure
ly the wheat raisers of the northwest
have suffered great damage by the
reckless falsehoods promulgated as to
our crop last year and the amount
still held by the farmers. In the face
of the short supply in the United
States and the failure of the crop in
England We see no reason why wheat
should not rise from its present low
estate:

relative to the amount of territory

which may interest our readers.
First. we may say that the Mime
apolls Touring mills will consume DUR
ing the crop year ending September
lst fully five millions of bushels of
wheat. or one-slXth of the crop of the
state, for the best informed men are
of the opinion that the tota! amount
of wheat harvested in Minnesota in
1871. was not to exceed 10000 900
or in other words. the crop was over
estimated at least 0.000 900 bushels. j
and but for the great calamity BY
which six Touring mills were DESTROY
ed early in May last. the amount
would have been six million of bush
els instead of five.
