Minnesota and the Oak otas Report Second
Largest Crop.
Minnesota, North Dakota and South Da-

second lar est wheat crop In their history.
The Agricultural Department at Washing
tn announced in its July report that
eighteen States would produce this year
1O0 900, 900 bushels of spring wheat, and so
from early prospects, lmpanying

has been gained by busiaess men and 9TH
ers that this is "a year OK reduced wheat
yield. Instead OF the Governments es-
Inmates being true, they are ridiculous.
for the probability Is that the two States of
Minnesota and North Dakota have this
year produced practically the amount of
wheat the government eighteen States
have produced In other words the yield
In these two States is more than likely to
exceed 100, 600, 900 bushels leaving South
Dakota to bring the yield OF the three
States up TO 125. 00o. 900 bushels. as against
about 100, 900, 900 for the three States last
year And these estimates are probably
about m inimum. 1t need be no surprise IL
Minnesota and North Dakota show a yield
OF 110, 900, 900 bushels, but as the trade de-
mands conservative figures, the two States
are estimated at 105. 000 900. and 20, 900. 900
for South Dakota, making a total OF 1875,
