honest people on earth. They never

subject matter was excellent and ad-
mirably expressed. There are plenty

There are 5000, 600 acres planted il
wheat in Kansas this year. A full av-
erage yield is twentyfOur bushels to
the acre. If the crop all over the state
shall be up to the usual standard, the
aggregate yield will be 1000 600 bush
els. Making allowance for the injury
which the insects have done, and for
the damage which has resulted from
the dry weather during the latter part
of April and the earlier part of May, it
appears safe to estimate the yield at
not less than 100000 bushels. The
chances are that it will exceed rather
than fall below that amount. That
would be more wheat by a considerable
margin than Kansas has ever raised be-
fore in single season.
