What the Harvest Has Done
The harvest of the great wheat raising states has been above average and with high prices will bring more money to farmers than in years. Total wheat crop up 40,000,000 bushels from last year but still 60,000,000 below the prior season. Corn prospects are strong in interior states though some older areas show lower yields. Minor crops are generous in prairie states with good prices. Charles Moreau Harger notes in the American Review of Reviews that the year has been good for farmers and their independent position will influence industry and enterprise.
