Big Crop

The news from the corn and wheat
belts is that an unexpectedly large crop
of both cereals will be harvested and
that the labor situation with respect
to it is being satisfactorily solved will be
gratefully received by the people.
Official predictions a month ago were
inclined to forecast results which
aroused fears now. however, are happily
dispelled, and there is no cause for
gloom. The harvest will not be the
bumper crop" of some years but it
will excel tn e average yield. Tbs
grainaries of the nation will be tillet
and the agriculturist will continue to
receive good pay for his hard and long
sustained efforts in the face of condi
lions that some weeks ago prove mos
discouraging.
The government reports issued last
week shows an improvement in condi
tions that should produce 2S,00O,0OI
more bushels of wheat, 100000 more
bushels of oats, S,OO0,000 more bushels
of barley and 2,U00,0 900 more bushels OF
rye, than was predicted a month ago.
Counting the follower from last year
the country is promised a total of S66, :
900, 900 bushels OF wheat, which would
be ample for domestic consumption anc
leave a surplus for export. The corr
crop is reported to be not 80 good as a
year ago, but there mas been an increase
OF Gil 900 acres planted. In tobacco
