wonder is that more attention is
not given this industry. Among
the latest to engage in this business
is Hugo H. Wolff, late of San An

than the spectators and the farmers
dreamed of. But nearly every big
wheat farmer he met told him of the
frightful damage by the drought.
None believed in crop of more than
100000, 900 bushels.
The reporter knew that he would be
ridiculed by the grain trade if he VEN
tured to make higher estimate Ct
the crop. He almost lost heart. One
day, at lutte railway station, he met
a big wheat grower who took him
aside to ask his opinion of the crop.
ct find more wheat than the rest Of
them," said Jones, "but they all tell
me I'm wrong" "Young man." said
the farmer, patting him on the back,
"stick to it. There's more wheat in
this crop than any of them believes"
The crop reporter felt that, if one
man agreed with him, he must be
right, and he went back to Minue-
apolis and put out his estimate of a
crop of 1876, 600, 900 bushels.
Punctured Bubble.
This estimate pricked the specula-
tive bubble. Rain fell in the fields
and farmers began to discover some
wheat and the spectators rushed in
to dump their lines into the pit.
Wheat tumbled from 80 cents to rs
cents bushel and the bull speculation
collapsed. When the crop had been
harvested and marketed and the
millers and elevator people had
counted allathe wheat that has come
from the farms, the yield was found
to measure 14O,OOO,OOO bushels. The
governments report of but 65,O00,0 900
bushels was made ridiculous by the
reports of receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth. The remarkable accuracy of
the Jones forecast gave the young
crop reporter a position in the grain
trade which, in succeeding seasons,
became stronger, and now, his crop
estimates are more highly valued by
many grain men than the govern
ment's.
Mr.. Jones has also undertaken to
estimate the corn crop. In gathering
the information on which he pre-
diets his conclusions he travels more
than 10000 miles every year, cover
ing the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Okla
