l With the wheat harvest so far ad-
/ vanced that an estimate of the yield
may be made with, approximate cor
rectness, correspondents of this de-
/ partment estimate the production at

| production of 15 bushels per acre. The
| estimated acreage harvested was L.
SsO.727 acres. Total production should
be approximately 26,S7i,Si4 bushels.
This Is a. material increase over the
estimated production one month ago.

that the Yield per acre will be great
er than normal. The percentage es-

Is bushels per acre. Ths estimated
area Is practically the same as the
harvest area for 1910 as reported by
the township assessors. Reports as to
the quality of the grain vary greatly,
even In immediate localities. The to-
tai production should equal, IL not ex-
ceed, the harvest of last year.

discouraging. Rainfalls during past

severe drought has cut the crop short.

the total yield will be short from
