erage and with the high prices Is
to return more money to the farmer
than In many years While the coun-
try's total wheat crop Is estimated at
40000000 bushels more than last year

settled ones may make this likewise a
remarkably profitable year for produ-
cers of that cereal Contracts are

er's toll Minor crops have been gen-
erous In the prairie states with good
prices Altogether declares' Charles
Moreau Ilarger In the American Re-
view of Reviews It has been a goodly
year and one that has given the farmer
a feeling of Independence His stable
position is certain to have effect on
