Estimates by tho department's experts indicate that approximately 704,201,857 bushels of wheat will bo harvested in tills country this summer and au tumn, tm Increase ot about 68,348, 857 bushels over that garnered last year. Of winter wheat 'he Increased yield is almost 180 million bushels and of spring wheat 28 1.000,000 bushels. Prof. N. C. Murray, acting chair man of the crop reporting board, commenting upon the report, said: "Tho acroago of spring wheat shows a total larger than any pre vious record, and nearly 9 per cent greater than last year. On June 1 the crop was above the average In promise, the condition and acreage combined being such as to give hope for a yield of nearly 2 3 per cont moro than last year and nearly 17 per cent moro than the average for the last flvo years. "May was unfavorable for winter wheat, but, nevertheless, with the increased acreage there probably will be between three and four per cent moro winter wheat produced than ]i\y' year, and between six and seven lier cent more than for the average of the last five years. Combin ing both spring and winter wheat, the indications point to a slightly largor yield per acre than was pro duced last year, and about the same yield per acre as during the last five years. This would make a total pro duction of all wheat of 0.0 per cent more than last year and 10.2 per cent more than the average Tor the last (Ive years." CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

The dead and wounded are estimated at between 60 and 70. Several persons were killed through tho collapse of the buildings occupied by tho street railway power plant.
