GRAIN OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR UNITED STATES
Wheat Leads All Other Records by
100000 Bushels, Says Forecast
Other Yields Gain.

Washington, July 10.-The four lead
ing cereal crops Of the country
wheat, corn, oats and barley-prom-
Use a yield this year of 5,210, 100000
bushels, 700,000,000 bushels more than
the aggregate yield last year, and,
with one exception, the largest on
record.
The government report raised the
estimated yields of both winter and
spring wheat and barley because Of
weather conditions, and indicated
large yields of both corn and oats.
The total yield of winter wheat is
placed at 655,0O0,O0O bushels, COM
pared to 638,000, 900 bushels indicated
in June, and final estimate last year
of 523,0O0,0O0 bushels. The spring
wheat estimate was raised from 262,-
100000 bushels to 275,000,O00 bushels.
The total crop of wheat is 930,000,-
900 bushels, or 167,000.000 bushels
more than ever raised in this country
in any previous year. Early estimates
OF the yield of winter wheat were
more than substantiated by the thresh-
ing returns, and the yield per acre is
placed at 1875 bushels per acre, the
highest on record.
The indicated corn crop is 1885,
100000 bushels.
Oats promise a yield Of 1901, 900, 900
bushels. The indicated yield is 49,.
100000 bushels more than last year,
and has been exceeded only once.
In winter wheat states the yield has
| been excellent In all but a limited
area. The big hard wheat states west
of the Missouri have by far the largest
| crops on record, Kansas alone being
credited with 151,00O,00O bushels
against 80,000,000 bushels a year ago
! Nebraska had a crop of 68,000,00(
bushels, or 100000 bushels more
than the big crop of last year. II
spite of the losses from drought and
insect pests in the central states
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
will have larger yields than the pre-
vious year.
The states Of comparatively small
production all had good yields, and
there has seldom been a year wher
such favorable conditions prevailed
throughout the entire country.
