crop has run very near to the 100 600. 900

broken to fall wheat for the coming

enabling the farmers of the West TO
overlap on the 100. 1000, 900 bushel esti-
mate next year. And while the spring
and winter wheat have been doing so
well during the past few years. the other
cereals have been keeping up with the

immense strides, and peas and fax have

are still millions OF acres OF free home
