way, isn't much of a wheat section any
more, the farmers have had much 10
contend with. In the counties of Brown
and Steele and Olmsted the chinch
bugs have kept them awake nights. and
further to the southwest, in the coun-
ties Of Rock and Mobiles, thousands of
acres of splendid wheat just ready for
the reaper have been ruined beyond re-
demption by hail Sitting out the ruin
wrought by the pests and the pellets,
and making some allowance for too fire.
quent rains, it is still certain that the
crop will be so large that the tiller Of
the soil will make merry with his mort
gage and have money enough left to
become capitalist in a small way
A turn at figures at this juncture will
not add anything to the gloom of the
picture. 1t is a low estimate to say
that on the 100000 acres sown to
wheat this year an average of twelve
bushels to the acre will be poured into
the elevators. A little multiplication
indicates with reasonable clearness
that the bins of Minnesota will contain
this fall about SO, 600 bushels of grain
of one grade or another Wheat, No. 1
northern, is quoted in the Twin Cities
this morning at over 50 cents a bushaI.
Suppose we make allowances for grades
and say, conservatively, that this crop
ef wheat will bring an average of 10
cents bushel. Take up your pencil
again and multiply S6,000O0O by 70,
and you arrive at the enormous total
of $25, 600. That is what the farmers
of this teeming state are pretty likely
to get for their wheat. Speaking of
Klondike, what is the matter with a
Minnesota farm as a gold producer?
And there are other Klondikes right
at our back door. There is South Da-
kota with an estimated yield of 3d.
COG, 900 bushels, and North Dakota is
ready to add another 44.G00,000 bushels
thereto. Everybody rejoices with the

The reaper knife will CLEAN in mil
lion acres of golden grain in Minnesota
this morning. This is really the begin
ming Of the harvest in the North Star
state. To be sure, grain garnering has
been going on for some days in south
ern Minnesota, and it will be ten days
yet before the work of wheat cutting
will begin in the counties of the far
north, but the great harvest in fifty
of the eighty-two counties is about to
begin. And a joyous work it is to the
Gopher farmer. 1t is many years
since the output and the price were
in such harmony to put him into
merry mood. The best statistics at
hand show that slightly more than
100000 acres were sown to wheat last
spring. 1t cannot be known even ap-
prcximately for some days what the
said is that it will be large In sew
eral sections it will be larger than for
ten years. This is especially true of
the sandy soil Of Hubbard county and
large portions of Otter Tail county,
