EXTENSION
Of SEVENTH
STREET NORTH

The city council at the last regular
meeting decided to open 7th street
north through to Drake street. In
looking over the situation in that To-
cality, we learn that the original plat
of Grand Rapids shows that Washing
ton avenue running east and west was
originally intended to come clear thru
to the river bank. 1t is now expected
that the city will grade down Wash
ington avenue to help fill in the extern
sion of 7th street north to Drake
street. They will need all of that part
of the hill to fill in with and its the
cheapest way for the city to get it.
While they are doing that they can
also get some surplus material at the
end of 8th street north all of which
will help out in filling the extension
Of Seventh street north This impro-
vement is very much needed and will
be greatly appreciated, not only by the
general public, but the patrons of the
Catholic and parochial school as we'll
as by the Lutheran children and pa
irons of the Lutheran church on 9Th
street. The travel back and forth to
these public institutions from the first
and second wards is considerable and
has been noted by those who reside
in that vicinity.
Another very important piece of
work that should be pushed to early
completion before the city has any
accident to pay for, is the macadamiz-
ing of Baker street from the T. T.
Scott Public Library building east to
3th street. This street is now in very
bad condition on account of the lay
| ing Of the main sewer last year in the
center of the street and the various
connections made to property on eth
| er side last year and this year. The
extension and opening up of Seventh
street from Baker to Oak ought to be
done this year, but its not so essential
as Baker street which is one of the
principle thoroughfares in the city.

The forecast, compiled by the de-
partment OF agriculture and based on
conditions May l, put this country's
winter wheat yield at 366,0O0,000 bush
els, the smallest in 10 years.
There will be no estimate of spring
wheat acreage until July, but with a
crop of 25O.OOOOOO bushels which is
higher than the average, this country
would grow this year a total of only
G16.0O0,0OO bushels. The normal
American consumption, with seed re-
quirements, is put at slightly more
than G0O,O0O.00O bushels.
The cOunTy'S greatest spring wheat
crop was 352, 100000 bushels, produced
in 1915. The fiye-year average from
1910 to 1914 is $4,000, 900.
The estimated production this year
of 3G6. 100000 bushels of winter wheat
falls 10000 600 bushels short Of last
years poor crop and 308,0OO,OOO below
that of 1919, bumper crop. 1t is
129. 100000 bushels less than the aver
