NORTHWESTERN WHEAT.
Probable That the Aield VIII BE Large

THH#-#E -
Probable That the Aield Will BE Larger
Than Last Year. j."
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 4.-The Journal
says: When the government report of
crop conditions allowed q yield of wheat
in the three Northwestern spring wheat
states equal to the yield Of q year ago,
1t il pretty good evidence that the yield
this year is larger than a year ago. The
September report of the agricultural
department makes the condition of
wheat in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota this year at 100 points against
1893 points last year, or a loss of 8 points
ON this crop, a difference that liz equal
lied by allowing for a smaller acreage
in South Dakota as against the other
two states, which the report does not
concede. i
The results show that the government
report of condition last year was too
low and the same is true this year. 1t
seems reasonable that If the govern
ment is willing 10 concede a crop In the
Northwest equal to that of last year, it
can be expected that the yield Is con-
siderably larger than last year, which
would make The Journals estimate of
I26, 600, 900 very near the mark. The
farmers themselves concede a yield
equal to last year, or about lilo, 900, 200.
And farmers seldom overestimate. The
marketing and feeding reports viii tell
the story later on.

Hello, Thompson! glad to see you. Congratu-

will tell you, so you can catch on too II you are
quick enough You see it is like this happened
to read that advertisement of Wood, Harmon 81
Co, 525 Thirteenth street northwest, in which
they say they will begin selling lots at ''St- Elmo"
on April 9, and went around TO see them and
discovered that '.St Elmo" is that beautiful tract
OF high land on the west side Of the Pennsylvania
railroad at the Washington, Ohio, and Western
junction, Just two miles this side of Alexandria,
only about ten minutes ride from Sixth street
station, Washington 1remember the place well,
and have often wondered why it was not devel-
oped before this as it is the prettest spot this side
of Mount Vernon. But was astonished when l
was informed could buy the best lot there for
only $50 and others for 800 and $50 each,
according to location; And Just think how easy
loD per week until paid for. OF course, If you
want to you can pay monthly. Then there are
other advantages; no notes, no MORTGAGES, no
whatever, and besides, If buyer is in good
health at the time of purchase, his life Is

20 down to St Elmo and buy two three
lots and build a house. To be sure have not
quite enough money to build the house, but it is
easy to borrow the balance on such security, and
have discovered that the interest on my invest
ment will not be half as much as my house rent
in Washington. So you see shall save money
and still enjoy many more luxuries than before,
and besides intend to buy all the ''St. Elmo"
lots can afford to carry, for am positive they
will be worth from $500 to $500 each in less than
two years Just consider the price other prop
erty is selling at; and then understand the new
electric road will soon be put through from
Alexandria to Washington (my friend D. J.
Howell, engineer for the proposed road, with
offices in the National Union building, 9lS
street northwest, told me SOY. and you know tho
Washington and Mt Vernon boulevard Is TO go
that way too. Ioould tell You a lot more reasons,
but have not the time Let me give you this
pointer, go down to ''St. Elmo next Monday and
buy all the lots you can afford to.
