1t is estimated that Kansas will this
year produce 20, 600, 600 bushels of winter
wheat. with enough spring wheat to in
crease these figures considerably. This
estimate is upon an average OF Is bushels
per acre for the total of 1885, 900 acres.
This is an increase of 10000 bushels
over last year. The rye. oats and grass
crops bid fair to be the largest ever
raised in the State. Corn-the largest
acreage ever planted. looks well all over
the State. and with hot weather. and with
such timely rains IN July and August as
are predicted by the weatherwise, will
make an enormous crop. Vegetables and
fruits are in splendid condition.
