The wheat harvest is now in
progress and from the returns re-
ceived from the official correspond
ents of the Department it is esti-
mated that the total yield will be
Sc per cent. of full average
crop. While this is decline of
per cent. in prospect since the is
suance Of the June report, 1T is
not discouraging, as, compared
with the crop of 1907 at this time,
it is per cent. above the prospect
estimate then reported; hence the
average yield per acre should ex-
ceed last years harvest. Com
pared with last year the acreage
is SO per cent. and the total pro-
duct for the state will not fall far
short Of the crop of 1907. Wheat
came Oat of winter in much better
condition than was anticipated,
and the weather conditions follow
ing being favorable, the plant
showed improvement with each
months report until the present
time. Frequent rainfalls followed
by long continued drouth during
the past month have tended to re-
duce the prospect. There is also
some complaint of damage by fly
and other insects, while many of
the correspondents note that the
wheat is struck with rust. The
estimated area of wheat plowed up
this spring was so meagre that no
report is made of same, and APP
proximately the entire area origi-
nally seeded remained for the har-
vest.
Oats show a decline in prospect
of - per cent. during the past
month, being now estimated at II
per cent. compared With an aver
age, The correspondents general
ly note that the decline is due to
drouth.
The estimated area planted to
corn ia 81 per cent. compared with
1907 area, or 1850, 354 acres. It's
growing condition is quite salts
factory, being reported at 81 per
cent. compared with an average.
