CoUNTRY,s BIG WHEAT FIELDS.

Although the wheat fields OF the far
west are generally supposed to be OF
extended acreage, in the states where
these fields are largest they average a
little more than one hundred acres.
In California, however, the average
is 169 acres. In North Dakota the
average is 115 acres; in Washington,
10 acres, and in Oregon, 1O5 acres.
Although there are some enormous
fields of wheat in these states, the many
smaller ones reduce the average size to
that of ordinary farm.
The values of both wheat and corn
land are greatest in Illinois, where the
average value is said TO be $S4 an acre
for wheat and 800 for corn.
