Unusual Yield Shown the
Country Over: -
FARM JOURNALS QUOTED.


While the inquiry was not made par
ticularly as to live stock conditions, it
appears through market reports that
prices are gratifying to producers, and
other information shows that there is
marked return to cattle breeding, with
renewed interest in the production Of
draft horses, activity in swine breed
ing and big rise in the values of
wool and mutton.
Biggest Yield of Wheat In Sight.
Herewith are extracts from various
authentic sources:
The Breeders Gazette.-Never has
such a yield of wheat been in sight.
Early thrashers' returns add to the es-
prospect almost universally. Oats have
suffered some in the dry belt through
the central section of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, but a fine crop is in pros
pect in nearly every other section.
Hoard's Dairyman.-The prospects
for an unusually successful year for
the dairy sections of the United States
were never DrlSnCer.
The Wisconsin Agriculturist.-Co ndi-
tons Of all farm crops are most prom
Using. Wisconsin will lead all states
again this year in the yield Of grains
and grasses per acre.
The Kansas Farmer.-This years
Kansas crop and live stock products
will be worth nearly $3O0,OOO,OOO.
Kansas is harvesting the largest crop
of wheat in her history. The yield is
conservatively estimated at 125,OOO,OOO
bushels. but early thrashing reports
indicate that the government estimate
of 148,000,OOO will be realized. Prob
ably 100000 bushels of oats will be
thrashed, also a record breaking yield.
There is every reason to believe that
150,0OO,O0O bushels of corn will be
husked this fall.
The Indiana Farmer-In spite Of the
general drought which obtained
throughout Indiana for several weeks
investigations indicate that the wheat
crop will exceed that of last year by
100000 to 100000 bushels.
Wallaces Farmer.-Never have crop
prospects for Iowa seemed better.
Wheat and oats are very heavy, and
corn promises a bumper crop.
Good News From the Northwest.
The Farmer.-Crop conditions in the
northwest are probably more favora-
BILE than at any time within recent
years. The hay crop is Of excellent
yield and quality. Conditions have
been ideal for the termination of corn,
and the crop has never been so far
advanced as at present.
The Michigan Farmer.-Crop condi-
tons in Michigan are unusually prom
Using. Conservative estimates indicat-
ing that the total wheat yield will be
about 100000 bushels greater than
last year. Apples promise fully 25 per
cent above last years production.
The Pennsylvania Farmer.-Crop con-
ditions in Pennsylvania. New Jersey.
Delaware and Maryland are consid-
erably above the average for the sea-
son of the year. There is every indi-
cation Of bumper crops of wheat. po
tatoes. late small fruits and midsum-
mer vegetables. The apple crop is
expected to exceed the ten year aver.
age by Il wide margin.
Oklahoma Farm urnal-Oklahoma
is breaking all records for production
of wheat and oats
The Progressive Farmer.-Cotton
and corn acreage fully up to last year
Wheat crop greatest in history of North
Carolina. Cotton reports to the same
paper from Alabama and Texas are
also most favorable
The Missouri Farmer.-We have just
about completed the harvesting of a
splendid wheat crop in Missouri The
yield will he fully up to the expecta-
tons of the last government report of
350OO,O0O bushels. Apples promise
more than an average yield. Peaches,
while below the average in quantity,
will be Of splendid quality. The cot
ton crop promises a full average yield
in southeast Missouri.
The Prairie Farmer.-The wheat crop
In Illinois promises to be one of the
largest crops of recent years. Corn is
in splendid condition throughout the
great corn belt of central Illinois.
Will Exceed First Estimates.
Exchange National Bank. Columbia,
Mo.-Wheat crop will smash former
estimates. Harvest over and thrashine
commenced. Prospect for Il. bumper
corn crop: never better in history ot
Missouri.
Rock Island Lines. Southwest.-The
largest acreage and highest total yield
OF wheat ever raised in Nebraska, Kan
sas. Oklahoma and Texas.
Northwestern National Bank. Mime
apolis. Minn.-Reports from PRACTICAL,
every section of our territory-whict
