ing the wheat outlook, says: 'From
the latest and best information re-
oeived the state will produce q full
crop this year, or about 30, 000, 600
bushels. The average is increased
fully 10 per cent over last year,
which increase fully compensates
for the damage done by
drouth and I estimate that we will
have at least 20, 600, 900 bushels for
export. An early estimate of 20, 000,-
600 was made some four weeks ago.
Since that the state has had bountiful
rain and the change in the outlook of
our crops ls simply wonderful. Farm
ers are looking jubilant over the favor
able change of affairs and are looking
forward to an abundant harvest now,
whereas but few weeks since every-
thing was looking dark for them"
In Wisconsin, letters received by
Mr.. Tslmage from treasurers of cities
and counties In Wisconsin, report the
report the winter wheat crop In ex-

Letters from the agricultural de-
partments of Minnesota, Nebraska,
Iowa and Dakota, received here,
report spring seeding fairly under

were never known to be better at

be completed within ten days. As
near a. can be estimated at the
present time, the acreage throughout

IL every indication that the spring
