WHY THE COUNTRY IS PRos-
 FERROUS.

The most reliable experts cs- innate the preseseNt seasons crop production at 739,OOO, ,OOO bushels of wheat, 2,9OO, ,0OO,OO0 bushels of corn, ,00O, ,OOO,O0O bushels of oats and 1l,7O2,O0O bales of cotton, and this without counting the hap crop, which promises to be record breaker and the other farm products, in- cluding vegetables, fruits, poul- try and dairy sources of wealth.
 This enormous yield of the farm will soon be convertible ln- to dollars and produce volume of money that will spell mater ial prosperity for the farmers, the merchants, the transportation companies and all the workers ill the mills and factories of the ma tion.
 The aggregate indicated wheat yield of the year is 739,000, 0,OOO bushels, against 730,000,000 bushels last year. Our exports are likely to be 17O,OO0,O0O bushels this year, against l3,O0O,o0O bushels last year, largely because there still remain 3O,0OO,O00 bushels of last years crop in stock. This is over fourth of the worlds total wheat eX- ports, which last year were 660,- OOO,OOO bushels. Based upon current prices, our wheat exports for the year will bring us s155,- OOO,O0O, while the total value of the crop will be about $500, ,00o,- 900.
 The largest domestic crop is corn. This year the crop, while considerably above the average, does not equal that of 1912. The general average for the past ten years is O,OOO,0OO bushels. The yield this year is estimated at 2,SOO, O,O0o,0 ,000 bushels, against the 1912 yield of 3,i25,000,0 ,00o. The value of this years yield will be Detwren SI,50o, ,000,000 and SI, I,75O,OOO,OO0.
 Cotton. in which the United States easily leads the world, will probably show a bumper crop. The promise is for li,1O2, ,0OO bales, a notable increase over 1912, which crop was l3, 100, ,0OO bales. The United States pro- duces three -fourths of the cot ton grown in the world and a short crop iY this country is, therefore, world calamity. There will be no such condition this year.
 The barley and hay crop prom ises to be at least equal to those of 1912. The oat and rye crops, while they will fall somewhat short of last years figures, are still well above the average.
 With a heavy surplus carried over from last year, With an "abOve-the-average" crop under way this year and with improved farming methods guaranteeing a larger output per acre in years to come, the business men of the country ought to feel that the situation is fundamentally sound no matter what the tariff or cur rency legislation may bring forth
