THE SUN, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 17, 1919 GREATEST WHEAT CROP ON RECORD Guarantee $2.26 Per Bushel Worth $2,793,000,000 A wheat crop of 1,236.000,000 bushels and a yield of 3,021.000,000 bushels of feed grains, wheat, oats, rye and barley, the largest on record at this season, is estimated by the June report of the department of agriculture. The aggregate gain of the four grains is 223,000,000 bushels, or per cent in excess of the harvest of last year. The report shows that practically one-third of the world's wheat crop will be raised in the United States this vear. In previous years the United tSates has grown about one- fifth. The wheat crop alone is by far the greatest on record, increasing 319, 000,000 bushels, or 34 per cent, over last year, and 210,000,000 bushels, or 24 per cent, above the record in 191 f, and 445,000,000 bushels over the five-year average of 1913-'17. Based on $2.26 per bushel at Chica go, the wheat crop is worth $2,793, 000,000, and on $2 the valuation is $2,472,000,000. This means pros perity for the farmers and business interests and railroads. The crop is so large that it is to be handled by the railroads on the per mit system. Enough wheat is in sight to give Europe 600,000,000 bushels and leave 636,000,000 bush els for domestic consumption. Winter wheat crop of 893,000,000 bushels was cut down 7,000,000 bushels in May, largely by rust, the loss being 5.6 points from last month and condition for the country left at 94.9 The damage, of which more is expected, is mainly in the central western states, and is extending east ward through the states south of the Ohio river. The heaviest loss in condition was 10 points in Kansas, although that state has a showing of 93 and a crop of 191,647,000 bush els, a loss of nearly 7,000,000 bush els last month and 15,000,000 bush els over its record of 1914. Mis souri dropped eight points to 93, but shows nearly 72,000,000 bushels. Illinois lost five points, with a condi tion of 96. Nebraska dropped six points, showing 95, with a crop of practically 70,000,000 bushels. Okla homa is off six points and Oregon seven points. Texas, Washington unio ana Pennsylvania improved slightly, the former having a condi tion of 101, while Ohio has 106 and Pennsylvania lUd. A surprise was given in spring wheat returns, the estimate yield being 343,000,000 bushels, or 15,000,000 bushels short of last year, while early estimates were that farmers would strain every effort to put in an immense acreage Unfavorable weather in the North west, however, prevented it, except in South Dakota. nl the central West there was a big increase. The total acreage for the country is 22,592,000, an in crease of 186,000 over last year's harvested area. In the three north western states there were 14,905,000 acres, compared with 15,150,000 acres harvested last year. The con dition is 104 in South Dakota and 94 and 95 in North Dakota and Minnesota. Indicated yield for the three states is 197,000,000 bushels, or 01,000,000 bushels under last year. In the nonspring-wheat states a big acreage has been put in, which helped to make up the loss in the Northwest. Oats crop is above an average with a yield estimated at 1,446,000, 000 bushels, a decrease of 92,000, 000 bushels from last year's final re turns, and an increase of 115,000, 000 bushels over the five-year aver age. The acreage decreased 2,035, 000. Condition of 93.2 is the same as last year and 3.8 points over the ten-year average. Barley acreage decreased 780,000 and the crop is estimated at 232, 000,000 bushels, or 24,000,000 bush els short of last year's record. A new mark is set for the rye crop at 107,000,000 bushels, or the same as last month and 19,000,000 bushels more than last year. A hay crop of 116,000,000 tons is 25,000,000 tons more than last year. Apple production is estimated at 166,000,000 bushels, and peaches 60,300,000 bushels, against 39,000, 000 bushels last year, while the ap ple crop is 8,000,000 bushels short of 1918. Manufacturers Record. BUSINESS DIRECTORY "Cured" Mrs. Jay McOee, of Steph- enville, Texas, writes: "For nine (9) years, I suffered with womanly trouble. I bad ter rible headaches, and pains in my back, etc. It seemed as if 1 would die, I suffered so. At last, I decided to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and it helped me right away. The full treatment not only helped me, but it cured me." TAKE Cardui The Woman's Tonic Cardui helps women in time of greatest need, because it contains ingredients which act specifically yet gently, on the weakened womanly organs. So, if you feel discouraged, blue, out-of-sorts, unable to do your household work, on account of your condition, stop worrying and give Cardui a trial. It has helped thousands of women, why not you ? Try Cardui. -71 SOLDIERS REMEMBERED Rev. B. H. Harrill, son of Mr. H. A. Harrill of near Ruth was here last week.

It is not possible for us to thank each one who so generously and cheerfully contributed these things, but we do want them to know how much pleasure they gave and how much it all has been appreciated. The celebration was a great suc cess in every way. The day was a perfect one. The great feast for the boys was spread under the trees in the grove by the Red Cross House for those who were unable to come out from the wards. For those who were unable to attend, a committee waited upon and served them in the various wards. Through the courtesy and kind ness of Hon. L. L. Jenkins of Ashe ville, a band from Gastonia provid ed pleasure for both Kenilworth and Oteen hospitals, playing for the pat ients and also for those who were able to attend the celebrations at Oteen and Asheville school. All sorts of games and amusements were provided at Oteen and Asheville school by Field Directors of the A. R. C. and the day, indeed, was a very happy one for all of our soldiers. We wish to thank each and every one who helped to make it a day long to be remembered for our soldiers. Your courtesy in this matter will be greatly appreciated. MRS. N.
