PAGETWELVE EO " Bumper Wheat Crop is Indicated in Dominion Report on Conditions Lower Similar Estimate in 1926 Was Greatly Exceed- ed in That Year's Yield of 509,000,000 Bushels -- Harvest Expectations, Are Above Average Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 10.--The erop report of the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics, absed on conditions of all field crops on July 31, states that the condition of the crops throughout Canada is excellent. The condition of Spring wheat is num- ercally expressed at 1056 per cent. of the ten year average, represent- ing an anticipated yield of 15.6 bushels per acre, and a total fore- cast for all wheat of 357,867,000 bushels from 22,386,777 acres, Last year at the corresponding date, the condition of Spring wheat was reported at 92 per cent, rep- resenting an average yield per acre of 13.6 ushels and the total forecast for all wheat was then 316,960,000 bushels, The final estimate of yield for 19026 tured out to be 409, ,000 bushels, SAN hush that donditions this year remain favorable until the time of actual harvesting, there would appear to he grounds for the ex- pectation that the wheat crop may turn out to be more abundant than the forecast of 867,673,000 bushels now indicated by the condition at the end of July," today's report stated. The other salient feature of to- day's report is the preliminary esti- mate of the yield of hay and clover, which amounts to 16,648,000 tons. This is the largest total yield on record for Canada, the previous rec- ord having been 16,348,000 tons in 1019, .
