Harvest Is Begun.

This crop is now being harvested.
Farmers are in the fields in Texas,
Oklahoma and few points in Kan
sas. Missouri and southern Illinois.
With good weather this week it is ex-
pected that harvesting will be gen
eral over a large part of the winter
wheat belt by Saturday.
Kansas comes to the front with
14S 100000 bushels of winter wheat
which is practically made. This Ia
4S.O00,000 bushels more than that
state ever raised in its best year
There is so much wheat that experts
who have been over 1t say there never
was anything like 1t. The state is
wheat from one end to the other
Some private estimates place the crop
at 10000, 900 bushels and higher. The
other states west of the Missouri
river also have been fortunate and
have record yields.
Huge Crop Northwest.
In the northwest the three states
have more than an average crop, 1885,
100000 bushels, or 16,600,000 bushels
more than the harvest last year.
The promise for oats is for an av-
erage yield, the estimate being 1916
100000 bushels or 100000 bushels
in excess of last year. Barley Is to be
28,00O,000 bushels and rye 100000
bushels in excess of last year.
In no year have the big crops meant
so much to the country as does the
winter wheat crop this year, especially
to the states west of the Missouri
river. They lost their corn crop last
year and have been hard up. The farm
ers there will now be in a position to
pay their debts and have little money
to spend.
Seek Harvest Hands.
The cry for help is going out, and
every effort is being put forth to fur
nish harvest hands. A winter wheat
crop Of 63S,000,000 bushels is 115.000,-
600 bushels more than harvested last
year, and the largest ever indicated.
1t Is almost 200, 100000 bushels more
than the average for the last five
