Chicago.?Nature and the farmers of
the United 8tates hare outdone themselves
in the wheat, corn and oats
crops of 1902. The most bountiful
harvest in the history of the nation
has already been garnered or is practically
Immune Against damage by unfavorable
weather.
If the general prosperity be in proportion
to the wealth gathered from the
fields, the next year wiU \?e one of contentment
and comfort for all classes.
Millions more in mortgages will be
lifted from the broad acres, and thou|
sands of farmers will face the year
J1903 with a clean financial slate.
From a compilation of various
i figures of crop economists one Is ena
I bled to say that the profits Tor tnc
farmer this year will be $2,000,000,000
or more, most of which has been realized
upon corn and wheat.
The calculation is based on an average
of the estimates of various statisticians.
This average gives approximately
the following results for the
year:
Wheat. <33.500.000 bushels: corn. 2.580.0ol.000
bushels: barley. 120.000.8o0
j bushels: rye. 30.350.800 bushels, and
oats. 751.52S.724 bushels.
Therefore a total of 4.128.230.500
bushels of cereals was produced by
less than 4.000.000 farmers on 841.000.000
acres of soil, the land upou which
these crops were grown being worth
$20,000,000,000.
j Wisconsin announces to the world
that she has tho biggest oat crop she
ever raised, and that her corn Is in excellent
condition. Indiana cails lier
corn crop "phenomenal" and submits
tho figures. 170.000.000 bushels, to prove
It. Her wheat crop. too. Is much better
than sh-.' thought several weeks
ago it would Im?.
Nebraska declares she h:?s 40.000.000
bushels more com In her fields than
she ever had before, and Illinois hopes
* * -1? ? *- ? mllltnna frt ll At*

last crop of that cereal. Ohio makes
| hor wheat crop practically the same a*
I last year's, and raises her corn limit
15.000.000 bushels.
Kansas will not raise more than
half as much wheat as she ?li?l in
hut makes up for this loss with n corn
crop five time* as larjre? unofficially estimated
at 300.000.000 bushels. Oklahoma
promises something like 150.000.000
bushels of wheat and 38.000.000 of
corn.
Up in the hi* sprin? wheat country
of Minnesota and the Dakotas the harvest
has bejrun. with a condition above
ninety points. Nearly everywhere the
corn In the fields promises a heavy
crop and the yield of oats, it is said,
will exceed the crop of 1SD9. Statist!j
clans now believe the wheat crop of
) 1902 will exceed that of Its predecessor
in 1901 by at least 25.000.000 bushels.
B. W. Snow, one of the best-known
crop experts in the country, says the
total for the wheat crop will be 778.0?>0.000
bushels. The same authority
says the corn harvest will be 2.500.000.00O
bushels, or nearly double that of a
y?ar nso. He puts the oats crop at
885.000.000 bushels.
Missouri State authorities are not
satisfied with the figures on wheat
i i?a<ii>Aii trk that Km to hr the Auricul
i tural Department at Washlnston. They
announced that the State will contribute
63.780.000 bushels of wheat this
year, or a trifle more than double the
amount It produced a year a so. The
Government In July estimated Missourfs
rro,) at only 3i>.22T?.000.
Estimates of the crop of sprins
' wheat In Minnesota vnrv from 78.000..
000 to 110.000.000 bushels. The latter
estimate Is 30.000.00o mop* than thf
crop of 1001. The statistician who
submits the lower ficures credits
000.000 bushels to North Dakota an<1
C8.000.000 bushels to South Dakota.
For wheat these estimate* ar? much
lower than those suggested by the
j Government for South Dakota. Rased
i on them. South Dakota should be eredi
Ited with 54 000.000 bushels instead ot
j 38.000.000.
