THE GRAIN CROPS.
Latest Estimate of Yield of Wheat,
Corn and Oats.

Corn and Oats.
Chicago, Oct. 4.-Orange Judd Farm
er. in it's final estimate of the years
wheat crop, says that figures based on
actual threshing returns indicate to-
tai yield of 5S9,0OO,OOO bushels, of which
373,530,0O0 bushels is winter and 215,-
100000 bushels spring wheat With the
exception of Illinois and Missouri the
winter wheat yield represents the full
capacity of the soil. The spring wheat
yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas has
proven disappointment the aggregate
being only 129,O0O,OOO bushels. The
shortage there is in measure counter
balanced by the good yield in Nebraska,
Oregon and Washington. The report
says the corn crop is exceedingly disap-
pointing. At the outside estimate it is
about l, ,750, 200, 900 bushels. The drought
during the past two months reduced
the average condition from 1928 a
month ago, to 1873 on October /. The
average oats yield of 1877 bushels per
acre suggests crop of s14, ,OOO, 900 bush
els, 10O,000,000 more than last year.
