SPECIAL DIsPAToH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON. July 1s.-According
to the estimates of the Department Of
Agriculture this will be the most
prosperous year 10 the farmer IN
American history.
All the Indications now point to the
harvesting this year by the American
farmer OF the greatest grain crop ever
produced In a single country. This
presages unprecedented prosperity In
the farming communities. 1t is not
the case that with immense prices
good crops are promised. but on ac-
count of tho failure or partial failure
of the grain crops in other countries.
the prospect is bright that this year
the American farmef will be IN a po-
sition to sell at notably good rates.
Statistics received by the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicate that the
wheat crop OF Europe will be short
about 150.00o.0oO bushels this year
This will induce an unusual export
demand for American wheat
