ON NORTHWESTERN WHEAT

YIELD or OTHER GRAINS EsTl.
MATED AS HIGHER THAN
LAST YEAR.

st. Paul, Sept. 81. - An estimate
based upon more than n thousand
reports from points where wheat has
been threshed places this years yield
in the Northwest at 202, 454,892 bush
els. tbs is the high est estimate that
has been placed upon the crop this
year and is carefully compiled. The
Van Dusen-IIarrington Company or
Minneapolis collected the data and
compiled the estimate.
The returns show the yield per acre
as follows: Minnesota, 13.1; North
Dakota, 1872, and South Dakota, 14.4.
That the government report has
placed the acreage too low is believed
by the company.
This years acreage in the North.
west is given by the government re-
port as about "a per cent, or 5,3e3,32S
for Minnesota, 3.434,179 for South Da-
kota and 4,349, 651 for North Dakota.
The
Threshing Reports
tend to show, however, that the same
amount of wheat. relatively. was sown
this year as in 1899. 1t lis upon this
proposition that the present estimate
of more than two hundred million
bushels is made. The years distribu-
ton will show, 1t is believed, that the
estimate is not far out OF the way.
A. present only about one-third OF
the small grains is in the bins. The
wheat has not suffered to so great an
extent as was first supposed by reason
Of bad weather and the threshers are
not losing a minute now. The wet
weather was followed by a cold spell
which prevented the wheat from
spIouting in the shocks. 1t was
Feared at First
that the loss from this would be large,
but the reports from the Northwest
have reduced this to such an extent
that 1t is hardly a factor Ia estimating
this years yield.
A continuance of good weather will
doubtless mean a heavy movement OF
wheat at the terminals and the grain
will be of better quality than most of
that which has been received SO far
this veal has been.
The government report showed the
wheat yield Of 1902 to have been as
follows: Minnesota, 1873 per acre:
North Dakota, 1873, and South Dakota.
12.2.
In other grains the yield is general
ly estimated rs higher than last year.
