Wheat for the World.

The farmers of Kansas will begin
next week to harvest the largest wheat
crop in the history of the state. Sec
rotary Coburn, of the state board of ag-
riculture, says: The crop this year
will be the heaviest ever known. In
1892 Kansas had 3,sOo,0oO acres of
wheat and raised 20, 900, 900 bushels, an
average of Is bushels to the acre. This
year the winter wheat acreage is A.
6s5,S19 as estimated by the growers,
and the average yield will be larger
than that of 1892. If the yield per
acre is the same as in 1892 the aggre-
gate yield will be 5000, 900 bushels.
The crop in general was never in bet
ter condition.
