l.. L. Humphrey of independence. Kas.,
writing to the Journal under date of jan
uary y. says: The wheat prospects in
Montgomery county are very promising
and everything now indicates one of the
largest yields that this county ever pro-
duced. The weather has been excellent for
wheat growing, with very little cold TO
retard its growth. There has been an
abundance of moisture and unless some
thing comes later on TO iniure it the wheat
harvest will be excellent"
Peavey, of Minneapolis. says: The secre-
tary of our chamber of commerce has been
making an investigation as to the guam
tity of wheat back in the country and our
probable receipts for the balance of the
crop year ending July 81. AS a result of
such he concludes that Minneapolis and
Duluth will receive about 81, 100000 bushels,
of which we should get the larger propor-
ton, as most of the wheat is in territory
tributary to this market. If these figures
are true, then we are not likely to run very
short, as the mills now are not running
much over half their capacity"
