A GREAT WHEAT CROP.

1From the Grand Rapids Press
The government crop reports show d
considerable decline in the condition Of
winter wheat during the month of May.
but the indications stin point to one of
the largest crops on record.
Taking the governments report of
acreage and condition as a basis. the
statisucian of the New York produce
exchange estimates that the winter
wheat yield viii be 4S3. 1920 bushels,
and the total yield of both winter ana
spring wheat 7s1 sos, 600 bushels. com
pared with an actual yield last year Of
67o.e63.oeS. The phenomenal crop of 1891
was 74s.46O.21s bushels so that if the
estimates for this year are correct. We
shall have a record brea king yield.
Spring wheat has yet to encounter the
most trying period, and there is still Il
chance for further deterioration of fha
winter crop. but it seems safe to nra-
dict very large harvest. 1t is a pleas
ing prospect as the probabilities now
are that prices win be fair, owing to the
foreign demand, and a heavy wheaf
crop is always a source of a large
amount of business and prosperity.
The country cannot suffer from hard
times very severely when the farmers
are prosperous and the people have
plenty of food. Such a harvest as is
indicated for this year would in itself
be sufficient to lift the country from
hard to good times and in connection
