Great Crop Year

The September condition report on
grains which was published by the De
partment OF Agriculture. removes all
doubt oil this being a record-breakinT
year Tor wheat and corn. Last month
the department StatiStiCianS estimated
the winter wheat crop at 49S,434,ooo
bushels. The condition OF S34 for
spring wheat announced recently, "rom-
iscS a crop OF more than 100000
bushels We thus have for both classes
OF grain larger production than ever
before. The total promise is Tor 76I.-
oI4,6c4 bushels. which compares with
74S 46o,2IS in I9oI-the largest output
on record up to this year
The outlook for corn is equally
bright as the Improvement OF 81 in the
condition OF that grain from the SSI
reported on August 10 figures out a
crop oi more than Fiji 800, 900 bushels
The largest corn harvested heretofore
was that oi last year, which amounted
t" 2zo7.oO354o bushels. Last year
there was an improvement oi hall a
point during August. and a loss OF
thrcetenthS in September. making the
October condition SO.2. as compared
with 90 , reported recently. But loss
oi one point to last years October fig
urcS would still leave crop lar in ex-
cess OF that OF 1905. The grain Situa-
ton. therefore. is bright enough to
satisfy the most enthusiastic OptimiSt
