so high that man walking through
them can hardly be seen. It is not
only field here and there that is so
fine. The crop is uniformly heavy
over almost the entire area OF the
territory. The well informed people
here claim that the territory will pro.
duce 95, 00O,o bushels OF wheat
That is more han any single state
will raise, excepting the great wheat
states % Kansas, California, Mime

and reported only moderate increase
