GREATEST IN
WASHINGTON, n. C., June 8 —
From statistics made public by tbe
Agricultural officials of the govern
ment, it is apparent that the greatest
wheat crop this country has ever
known will be harvested this year.
From figures now available it is esti
mated that the harvest will surely
reach the stupendous volume of 960,
000,000 bushels. It is confidently ex
pected, however, that even this
tremendous amount will be exceeded
and a billion bushels is the forecast
of some of the experts.
The crop of oats and barley will
show the same tremendous increase,
and there is no doubt but both the
latter products will show enormous
crops. I,a8t year the crop of wheat
did not quite reach nine hundred mil
lion bushels. In respect to fruit, the
outlook for large crops is not so prom
ising. Tills is particularly true of
apples, which will show a marked fall
ing off from last year.
