1912.
marvelously fortunate year Is It's
of 1912 for this land of ours. The

news once more the proof that all
things are uniting for the welfare of
Americans. 1t is an amazing show
ing. 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels of spring
wheat being reported as In sight.
where last year the yield was only
l9O.00O.OOO bushels, and the year be-
fore 200,00O,OJ0. Added to the winter
wheat. which In spite OF the soft wheat
losses In our own section of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark. the
total yield of this grain will run well
above 7UU. U0U.JUJ bushels. and II pri-
vate advices are reliable, even above
S0O,0J0.O 900 bushels.
We have had but two years in the
past when the 70O00J.OO0 mark was
passed. 1906 and 1871. and the outlook
is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that
of either of these.
Nor is wheat the only crop that is
practically assured of reaching record
figures. Corn. potatoes. barley. rye
and some others are already in the
class of bumper yields. The indica-
tons amount to assurance that they
will all exceed any previous aggre-
gate.
While the American fields are TEEN
ing with their produce across the
ocean ia heard the cry OF distress.
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there. The land
is sodden and unfruitful. What crops
have grown are drowning In food.
The American farmer, with his barns
