Estimates vary as to the size of the win
ter crop. w. c. Sunderland and Floyd
Campbell say the state has raised 10000,
90 bushels and other grain men agree with
them. A. H. Bewsher puts the figures at
| 35,OOOOoO. The best winter crop to date
was in 1902, when 100000 bushels were
harvested. The total crop this season will
be less than In two or three others years,
for the reason that the acreage OF spring
wheat iE greatly decreased
The movement of the crop has begun
earlier than usual. This is due not to the

but to the fact that prices are good A
lower market is predicted soon, however
owing to the good prospects for a large
