LA.ND OF PLENTY.
While the fairest farm fields of
Lurope are ravaged by war this
country is harvesting the greatest
crop within iis history.
Last year the greatest wheat
crop ever known was produced in
lliis country and now this glorious
land of plenty is preparing to sup
ply ihe warns of the world. An
exchange says:
"This year all the farm produc
tion worked with the design and
under so great a stimulus to ouido
any previous result. The weather
was never the most promising.
The season was one of exception
ally low temperature and exces
sive rainfall. But for the staple
food crops, which are now practi
cally secure the government re
ports a total quantity exceeding all
previous records.
"Wheat is better than a billion
bushel harvest and 11,000,000
bushels above the record yield of
1914. Corn indicates a yield ex
ceeded only in 1912, The oat,
the barley, the rye and he hay
crops are all above those of any
previous year, the potato crop is
a good average, and the fruit yields
are above the average."
And yet prices are high. How
ever, it is due principally to foreign
demand.
