quirements for-seed on the steadily expand
ing area planted in wheat III the United
States, SO that on the whole we shall probably
not have as much wheat to sell out of the
crop of 1879, by at least $4,000, 600 bushels,

previous years, while the present crop of
winter wheat is almost everywhere reported
to be thin upon the ground, and, while the
quality of the grain will be good, the yield
per acre will be at least 10 per cent. below
an average of the six or seven previous
years. This is the testimony of various
business men of Chicago who have recently
taken extended trips through the entire
winter-wheat region. The crop of winter
wheat is now about 70 per cent. of the en-
tire crop of wheat raised in the United
States. Seventy per cent. of last years
crop was 800 ,O00,O 900 bushels of winter wheat.
and, if the yield of winter wheat is 25 per
cent. below last year, it would show de-
ficiency of 100000 bushels from the
same number of acres of winter wheat as
last year. This deficiency may be partly
made up by the increase of 1,227,736 acres,
which will produce, say, Is, 100000 bushels
thus leaving the net deficiency 100000
bushels. But even this is upon the pre-
sumption that the total crop of spring wheat
will be as great as last year.
