bushels less than now. Another
most important point of difference
a,so. and one which will account
largely for the present strength OF
July delivery. is that the winter
wheat area seeded in 1904 for the
crop OF 1905 was over 1900. 900
acres larger than that reported last
December and the acreage harvested
was almost identical in 1906 with
that reported seeded for 1909.
Still another great point of differ
ence and one vastly appreciated by
present owners of wheat, Is that
whereas the Gates deal was run by
b'undering managers for a man alb
sorbe1 at the time I'm even larger

by a trade general whose ability in

has been shown to be of the highest
