Breaks In the present sewer have

Just as has the present one. 10 Is Mr.

Mr.. pierson says that as the chief

WHEAT

One of the basic and essential
food-stuffs produced in the United
States is wheat, it follows that the
people of this nation have reason TO
be interested in the prospective pro-
duction in this country of this staple
since upon it will depend to a large
degree the daily bread of the future
The Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture has
just issued report of the condition
of Wheat on May 1st, 1920 and an
estimate of the yield for this year
btlsed upon this report. The esti-
mated yield in the United States as
a whole for this year is 484 640,000
bushels as against the final estimate
for 1919 of 731,636,OO0 bushels
From other authentic sources we
learn that the first figure represents
barely enough to supply the needs
of our own nation and the prospect
of any additional supply by the way
of imports from other countries is
very small.
In Ohio the condition of winte,
wheat reported Nav 1st was 68 pei
cent of normal with an estimated
tIroduction Jof % 995 goo bushels as
AGAINST a total Weld last year ot
SO 100000 bushels
In Fulton County the ACREAGE sowr
to Wheat in 1920 is 91,470 while th'
acres harvested in 1919 were "a POI
Of the 31.470 acres sown to whea
in this county this wear. 16 per cen
has been abandoned leaving 2622'
acres to be harvested and the condi
tion reported May 1st was 7S pc
cent.
