1909 was s2,000,OO0 bushels in excess of
the yield of the preceding year. From
current indications in the winter wheat
belt the harvest of the current year will
be large, and in spite of this favorable
outlook and the handsome profits that
can be secured at prevailing quotations
for the cereal, the farms hold 173,0O0,Goo
bushels of unsold wheat, or 30,00O.OO0
bushels more than reported at this period
in 1909, and 25,O0O000 bushels more
than in 1908. 1t is conceivable that the
