ONE BRIGHT crop PROSPECT.

Crop conditions are scarcely as bad
as was believed ten days ago. The st.
Paul Pioneer Press from beneath the
shadow of the great Touring mills pre-
diets bumper crop of wheat to be sold
at prices maintained at about the pres
ent level which will add greatly to the
prosperity of the wheat raising farm
ers. while'the government crop report
take account of the full extent of dam
age by floods which began their raw
ages only a day or two before the end
of May, the area of wheat hurt by
floods is comparatively SO small and the
benefits of the rains on upland wheat
went so far toward offsetting this dam
age that it seems to be the general
opinion that no great reductions In the
prospective wheat crop are to be made
ter wheat belt. May, however, was re-
sponsible for a decline in winter wheat
conditions of 1914 points, from 92.6 to
S22. Last year on June l the condi-
ton was only 1911, yet.411, 100000 bush
els of winter wheat was harvested.
According TO the estimates of the sta
tician of the New York produce ex-
change the June l condition indicates
a total yield of $500 bushels. This
would be record crop. exceeding the
previous record crop, that of 1901 by
25,O00,000 bushels.
Spring wheat conditions as reported
by the government were 95.9 as com
pared with 95.4 on June l. 1902. and a
ten-year average of 92.9. The New
York expert translates this into an In
dicated yield of 2eS,55O0o0 bushels of
spring wheat, against an actual spring
wheat crop last year of 25S,275,0O0 bu-
shells. Such crop of spring wheat.
together with the indicated crop of
winter wheat. would mean total crop
crop last year of 670000,000 bushels
The more common estimate, however,
is $50. 900, 900 bushels.
In spite of the probable increase In
our wheat crop, however, there is no
reason to expect any considerable de-
cline in the price. The European crop
this year promises to be smaller than
it was last year and the stock of wheat
carried over to the new crop year will
be smaller than for some years. There
is, moreover, a steady increase in the
the demand for wheat which has to be
reckoned with whenever prices are not
pushed so high as to induce the sub
stitution of rye and corn.
