August 1, shows high aver- FBGI. nearly all round, and the promise of an exceptionallygood year. - The acreages in the bulletin are nal, but the = yields will be revived from actual `threshing recults `in November. " The area of fall wheat is 748,529 acres this year, compared with 91l,587'acres last year, a decline in acreage of 163,058 acres, or nearly 18 per- cent. The estimated yield, on the other hand. is 19,356,056, or 25.9 bushels an acre, compared with 15,943,229 bushels `last year, or 17.5 bushels an acre. So that while the falling oil` in area was near- ly 18 percent, caused by the farmers of Ontario giving more attention to barley, to stock and dairying and general mixed farming, the estimated yield-has increased 3 4l3,827'bushels, or more than 21 per- cent. Three hundred and three thousand one hundred and fteen acres of spring wheat are estimated to produce 5,993,695 pared .with an acreage of, 358,048, and a yield of. 5,498,751 bushels last year, or 15.4 per acre. This shows the same re- lation as fall wheat, a considerable decline in acreage and apromised considerable in- crease in yield. The abundant promise is further shown by the fact that 20 bush- els an acre has been the average for fall wheat during the past twenty years, com- pared with an estimated 25.9 for this year, while the average yield of spring wheat for the last 20 years has been 15.5, com- pared with the 19.8 estimate of this year. nnlsinn `an: nnnnianunklw :r|nnnnnnA In-`Obs bushels, or 19.8 an acre this year, com-.

The average of twenty years has been 26 I bushels an acre. Oats promise to show "a big increase in acreage and yield,` the acreage this year being 2,500,758 acres and the estimated yield 105,540,510 bushels, or 42.2 bushels an acre. Last year the yield was 32.5 an acre and the average yield for twenty years has been 34.8 an acre. The yield of rye is estimated at 3,686. 6 bushels, or morejthan a million more ushels than last year. It the estimate is fullled it willshow 19.5 bushels to the acre," com- pared with 16.1 for last year, and 16.2 the average for twenty years. `D--- -.... -1-.. ..-.....-a...I 4...
