Record breaking yields of corn and
oats are IN sight, rs we viewed by the
August eret, report ~ the Department
Of Agriculture. The loss In corn dur
ing the past month has been sharp,
mounting up To an estimate of 220,-
o0O,00 bushels, but nevertheless the
present. promise is for yield OF :, 940,-
000,0O0 bushels. This would be 13,000,-
600 IN excess of our greatest harvest,
which was the crop Of 1906. Oats are
ahead practically the same number OF
bushels of the greatest crop ever har-
vested Of tina. grain, the figures now
standing At l,02. 900 900 bushels. Last
year this crop crossed the billion bush
ell line for the first time. Drouth loss
in The Northwest reduced an oats
yield that would have been phenome-
nal. Tires her returns in nearly all sec
lions indicate fine quality and heavy
weight of grain.
IL Is feared that corn figures will be
further revised downward before har-
vest. Estimates which deal only with
acreage and fail 10 take ace punt Of poor
Glands aud spotted condition Of fields
are misleading. There are few sections
In which general heavy rams would
not be welcomed; In some they are es-
sential to the maturing Of the crop.
And the telated crop must run the
frost gauntlet, brought to mind by re-
porte of frost already In Alberta.
While winter wheat has yielded sur
prisingly, the tremendous loss In the
Northwest brings the total production
to an estimate OF $50, 100000 bushels,
which has been exceeded Ave times il
our crop history. Nevertheless this
yield with our reserves will require an
export market in addition to cur do
mestic consumption.-Breeaer's Ca
