Wheat Prospects
It is now generally conceded there will be a larger yield of fall wheat than anticipated, from the timely rains of last week. J. H. Crawford, who has 100 acres n fall wheat, nine miles northwest of Dodge City, was reported to have said his crop would be a failure. He never authorized any such statement to be made, much less to have indulged in serious apprehensions of total failure. He ways his wheat will yield three quarters of a crop. This, upon new ground, is extremely gratifying, and should put to blush the croakers who delight to dwell in visions of ruin and failure.
We have repeatedly said that in this new country light crops only could be expected in the early tilling of the soil. We repeat that the prospects are far better than the most sanguise contemplated.
