1T is gratifying to know that Official
reports credit Maryland with having the
finest wheat yield per acre this year of
any State dn the Union, with one excep-
tion. The extent Of Nal yland wheat
acreage Is slight as compared with the
vast Western fields, but quality of the
wheat soil lie the very best while the Gull
tivation Is unsurpassed. Both In wheat
and In hay this State mas made such a
record for the present season as to de-
light the heart of the agricuIrurist.

cereals, In other words, the market Is
getting vaster than the supply Of the

and hence the man with the loaf, the
raiser OF the cereals, will soon have the

Marylanders do not fully appreciate
the place they fill in the food economy
OF the country or the fact that they them
selves have the cornucopia at their feet
and the richest products OF the earth
and the waters as their portion in the
fullest measure. Maryland wheat is a
credit to the State, and an advertisement
