MONSTER WHEAT CROP

The United States is to have q
wheat crop OF over 1000, ooc
bushels in 1905, according to al
the present indications, as CLEANED
10y the department OF agriculture
There is a special need Tor large
crops this year, and the earliest OF
these to make u report gives prom.
Use to meet this demand. The
wheat Weld OF 1907 was 625,ooo,-
900 bushels. Only twice-in 1907
and Ioo6-was the 700, 900, 900
mark passed. The season was
backward and nearly all conditions
were adverse in 1907. This year
however. the season is earlier, the
acreage greater and the hope OF a
big harvest has something to say
for itself.
Large crops OF the great staples
in 1908 would go tar toward plac.
ing the country again on the high
road to prosperity. Wheat stood
fourth on the list OF the country
crops il 1907 in point OF value,
corn being first, hay second and
cotton third. Sometimes wheat
leads hay and cotton, but corn al
ways heads the list. The time Tor
planting corn and cotton is still
ahead OF us, but as the season
opens favorably for wheat there is
a strong expectation that the other
big crops will start out under
friendly auspices. In the aggre-
gate S,.ld 1907 did not stand high,
but the big prices which all the
staples commanded on account Of
the prosperity which prevailed
along till after harvest, made the
total value OF all the farm products
greater than III any previous year.
II passed $1,000 900, 900 mark for
the first time in the country's his.
tory. The range OF prices will
necessarily be lower in 1905, al.
though in some cases they are still
up to the 1907 mark. But the
harvest, whether it he small or
large, will see the average OF prices
below those OF twelve months
earlier.
Large crops, however, will he OF
vast service to the country. They
will insure a taiI income to the
farmer and cheap food to the con.
sumner. Agriculture is still one oi
the country great interests; and
when the agriculturist prospers the
whole country has good times. We
are on the upgrade in business
once more. This is shown by the
increase in the transactions OF the
banks and the railways as com.
pared with a few weeks ago,
Financial confidence is being re-
stored. Good crops in 1908 would
have a little OF the same tonic
effect which they had in 1894 anc
1895 as well as in 1877 and 1873.
