wheat crop at Gil ,Ooo,0 600 bushels, or $780,
600 bushels less than is calculated to be
necessary for domestic use, and the small
est crop in q years. A carry-over of
approximately 16O,OCoO0O bushels from last
years record-hreaking crop however,
will make up the deficiency and leave
something like 100000 bushels avail
able to supply the heavy demands of for
eign nations for American wheat. The
heavy loss in prospective production of
corn was due to drought. In many cases,

after particularly lot and bright af-

torrents. The streets were quickly
rivers of water and everyone was hur-
rying for cover. Many people We're
caught out in the storm and some
good wettings resulted. The streets
were badly washed in places. Where
they had been treated with tarvia they
stood up in good shape and shed the
rain without troubla. Catch basins
were filled up and in places the water
stood several inches deep in the
bitches for some time. Although there
was little thunder and lightning it
was not so severe as it has been a
