BIG CROPS PREDICTED.
Minnesota Does Not Depend Wheat
Alone.

This Is a great crop year Tor Mime
sofa. People are so used To basing the
outlook for business on wheat alone,
that they overlook the enormous pro-
ductiOn of other grains and cereals
in Minnesota, and i'll making up
the business outlook it is of the
greatest importance to refer To
these figures Minnesota will raise at
least f., ,000, 900 bushels of wheat this
wear The most conservative estimate
reaches that figure. And there the es-
Inmates stop. II. Paul correspondent
saws: Minnesota will this wear raise
J0.OrO, 900 bushels of oats, Il larger yield
than Of wheat. and this becomes an i'm
purtant item 10 Minnesota farmers, for
while this state had big yield Of
oats, there is a big shortage in
the states south and the prospect is
that Minnesota oats will sell readily
this year at 10 cents a bushel, Or;5I cents
net to the farmer, as against only IL
cents net last year This crop thus rep
re>ents an item Of about sl4 O~o,r@ To
the farmers of Minnesota. The Yield Of
corn is estimated at II ON, ,0OO, a. against
% 10000 last year; barley 9,Upo,Tn;
rye, 200; potatoes, 6,wo,DO, and
flax 200 900. That is half million
| increase for flax and no change
in the WELD Of barley, rye and potatoes
However, the scarcity Of the last named
makes it more valuable to the farmer
The estimated value Of these crops Is
SS4 .O2O. .HO. as against 81. .i25 900 last
| season Corn and potatoes, in most 10
| calitcs. are still in need of rain, though
the showers that fell all over the north
west last night helped out the situation.
