KANAS CITY, Mo-, July II,
(UP)-Farmers and business men
of the Southwest are facing the
most prosperous period they have
known in six years as result Of
bumper wheat harvest which ex-
ceeded all expectations.
Estimates of the total wheat
production Of the nation for this
year ranke from 650,000,000 bu-
shells upward-the best yield since
1881.
The final, official, figure will

northern part of the wheat belt
is harvested. But with the South
vests harvest virtually complct-
ed, indications are that the ESQ.,

be too large.
In the Southwest, where winter
wheat is the principal cash crop,
the yield has been uniformly high.

crop failures, produced a crop of

Kansas this year produced in
excess of 150,000,000 bushels. the
largest crop since the record

Missouri's yield was 27,000,000

crop but considerably lower than
was expected. Unseasonably wet

July / it was apparent that the
yield would not exceed an ever
age of 10 bushels an acre, or 27,-
600, 900 bushels.
One of the most encouraging
factors about this years harvest
is the price, which is higher than
it has been in many years despite
the heavy yield.
At country elevators, farmers
received prices ranging from 85
cents to $1.15, depending on their
distance from marketing centers.
Many farmers, however, were re-
