RECORD BREAKING CROP
Of WHEAT PREDICTED
Acreage Is Greater Than Last
Year and Weather COnd-
lions Good

Chicago, March 2j.--There is every
present indication that the wheat crop
for 1915 will be record breaker in
the history of the country, but it is
too carly yet for any definite state
ment according TO y. S. Snow, chief
statistician of Bartlett, Fraiser x Ca
with conditions similar to last year
the 1915 crop should break all rec
ords,' said Snow today. "Last year
100000 acres of wheat yielded 655,'
900, 900 bushels. This year the acreage
and 80 far the weather has been en-
cOuraging and everything at present
points to a bumper yield. This is par.
tieularly true in Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska, generally known as the dry
states.
"There is a possibility that the yield
this year might reach 900,OO0,OOO
bushels, but it is mere guesswurk to
try to estimate the number of bushels
now. But as no one can tell what the
weather will be until after the crop is
cut, it would not be surprising even yet
if the crop dropped as low as 100000,
900 bdshels. But present indications
are fine.
Snow said that he could not make
any prediction as to the possible prices
1T wheat and flour, asserting that the
prices will depend upon the law Of sup
ply and demand and the lessons learned
from the war.
