A BILLION BUSHELS OF WHEAT.
Biggest Yield That Has Ever Been in
Prospect on This Continent.

IfOSpcCt Oh 1LIS SOLtllleHt.
Chicago. - There is no question
now that there will be an abundant
yield of wheat. The reports of the
prevalence of black rust in the
Northwest, while true to a certain
extent, were exaggerated. The pres
ent promise is for an enormous yield.
Only a calamity can change the re-
suit, and there are no unfavorable
conditions yet. If the crop natures
the railroads will be taxed to their
utmost capacity to handle the grain.
The United States and Canada
have the promise of nearly a billion
bushels of wheat. No such outlook
has ever been in prospect on the
American continent. 1t should be a
great year for manufacturers, rail-
roads, retailers and farmers.
