sources having been used up. His faith

THE state reports of five states, Ohio
Michigan, Iowa, Kansas and Pennsyl-
vania, make the yields of wheat in
those states 100. 675, 900 bushels. The
Washington government crop report
made the yield in those five states 1877
Bis, 900 bushels. The difference is 90, 76O,-
900 bushels. The Dodge report indicated
a crop of 5s5, 900, coo bushels. If all the
state reports exceed the Washington
6gures in the same ratio as these five
states the state figures would suggest
a crop of over $50, 600, 900 bushels.
