EXPECT GOOD GRAIN HARVEST

Crop news is more encouraging. Late
estimates Of the yield Of Winter wheat
make the total four hundred million
bushels, which is about one hundred
million bushels below the average yield.
but is equal to the total production in
1898 The area devoted to Spring
wheat has been increased from twenty
to twenty-five per cent. and il favora-
BILE conditions continue this increased
acreage win go far towards making up
the deficiency in Winter wheat. Corn
acreage is said to have Deen increased
over fifteen million acres. In Nebraska
30 per cent. Of the ground originally
devoted to Winter wheat has been re-
planted in corn and this cereal is likely
to play a greater part than ever as
food for human beings. Weather con-
iitions have recently been very favor
able for growing crops and also for
planting. Improved prospects Of the
iield Of wheat and the check upon
ipeculation in grain have caused a |
urther decline in market prices Of
wheat Corn and oats are also lower !

Executive Board meeting Of his
convention. Upon his arrival in the
city rumor was ahoat that the
probabilities are he would locate
the foreign mission board in Nash

could not he confirmed, hence be,
fore he could be thoroughly inter
viewed as to whether he had plan.

1attering offers from several of the
cities south, north and east, to 10
cate his board. One brother prefer
ed the information that the chances
