the department OF agriculture.
The average condition of winter
wheat on May 1 was 919, compared
with 91.6 ON April / and $50, the
average for the past ten years on

A condition OF 919 percent on May

that there is no dissenting opinion
that the present prospects for "a wheat
yield in Kansas was never brighter
on SO large an acreage, t. D. Coburn,

According to the April report OF

sas has about 7,255,0oo acres of grow.
ing wheat. averaging on the whole,
condition of practically 90. based on
100 as the standard of satisfaction
sso-called experts and market men
quite unanimously interpreted this to
mean prospect fer crop of 100000
600 to 125,000,000 bushels.
Il am making no predictions what,
ever. and never forecast as to yields
for that there will be any yields at all,
and am merely passing along the an
nounced views of others.
There is no dissenting opinion,
however, that the present prospect
was never brighter on so large an
acreage, and general soaking rains
thoroughly sattrating the subsoil,
since the April report, have improv
ed the previous rosy outlook The
downpour will put damper on
Ichinch bugs. which apostles of woe
were grooming to lay the crop low
before harvest.
II might be we'll for the public to
understand that the area of growing
winter wheat in Kansas approximates
one-fourth Of the normal acreage Of
that grain harvested in the whole
