California the Banner wheat state
SAN Francisco, May l4.-Wheat crop
authorities say now that there is every
prospect OF having the heaviest wheat
crop ever produced in California. The
statements are based not only on the in
creased acreage, but upon the unusually
propitious weather this month, steady,
light rain alternated by warm, sunny
days. Wheat Is ripening slowly and the
kernels are full aud heavy. A strong
, sun causes the wheat to ripen too early
tons the quantity for export next yea
is placed at eleven and a half millions
tons, which will probably make Califor
niu the banner wheat State, with the
heaviest wheat crop ever produced IL
one State in any year
