Two months ago owing To the prOtracted wet
weather, 1t was feared that tie winter wheat
crop would be partial failure. 1t now turns
out to be not only the most prolific yield per
acre, but the best quality of wheat ever pro-
duced IN this country, being on the average 10
per cent heavier than the average of past years.
