Statistician Dodge of the Department
of Agriculture says: " The year prom
ises to be one of abundance in almost all
lines of agricultural production. Pre
liminary returns of acreage made the
wheat area about 40,000,0110 acres. On
that basis the crop should not fall below
525,000,000 bushels. Oats are the least
promising of any cereals. Acreage in
rve is little changed, but the August
condition is better, promising a larger
crop. Barley acreage is apparently the
largest ever seen, and the present condi
tion warrants that the crop will be con
siderably above the average."
