Nothing! He might as well be in any

well-worked summer-fallows. One OF
these fields would yield 40 bushels to

that would yield 80 or 100 bushels to
the acre. In this district wheat will
average 80 to 35 bushels. The condl-

of a most prosperous year" In the

something like 100000 of the black

In this article no attention has been

had great attention paid to it in some
districts. 1t is safe to say that in addi-
ton to the 120 million bushels Of
wheat. the no million bushels of oats
and the 80 million bushels Of barley,
there will be over two million bushels
of flax. The approximate value of all
these crops may safely be put at One
Hundred and Sixty Million Dollars. as
against a total of 11S million dollars
