Hut corn Is selling at more than 20 cents a busrtiel above the same time last year At this rate the crop would be worth $585,000,000 more than last year, or about $1,920,000,000 against $1,350,000,000 In 1907 The wheat crop |g estimated at 078,. 000,000 bushels, or a gain of 44.000,000 bushels over last year. Wheat is rpuch higher than at the same time it 1907, the difference at present be ing about 10 cents a bushel. On this basis wheat would bring over SIOO,- 000.000 in excess of last year's total vtiue. These two crops, should the parity of prices over 1907 continue ar great as a present, would thus bring to the farmers about $075,000, 000 to $700,000,000 more than last year. Even should prices largely de cline Lt#re would still be room for a gre.t gain over 1907.
