discouraging outlook that capital
would become timid, for after ell this
nation depends more upon agriculture
than any other industry for its wealth.
But this is great nation, its eli

great, that if crops or ore of the lead

we may be assured of good crops in
another.
In some sections of the wheat belt
there has not been snow OF moisture
sufficient to protect and cause growth,
while in the main, reports from the
west show winter wheat is in fine con
