THE WORLD'S WHEAT YIELD

The London correspondent of tho "Argus" (Melbourne), writing to that journal last month, states that, accordins; to "Dornbusch's" preliminary estimates, this year's wheat crop of the world is likely to represent one of tho largest productions recorded. Tho total output for 1913 is estimated at 511,200,000 quarters, .- as against 408,476,000' quarters last year, and 459 ; (jU1 quarters in 1911. Tho Europe,in total is estimated at 291,365,000 quarters, which represents an increase of nearly 11,000,000 quarters over last year, and ismainly attributable to the substantial increase shown by Russia, whose crops last year were severely affected by weather conditions at harvest time. France, though expected to yield somewhat less than last yoar ; promises a better production than in 1911, while Italy has prospects of, an exceptionally fine crop. Weather conditions in Germany and Austria had somewhat unfavourably affected the crops in those countries. Great Britain expected an average crop. The combined crop of spring and winter wheat in the United 'States promised to bo fully as large as tho out-turn of 1912, while Canada bade fair to exceed all previous records. India's spring crop was fine, both in quality and quantity, and the Argentine production was expected to be on a par with the big figures of the previous year. Lastly, "Dornbusch" estimated that in Australasia the crop secured would bo equal to past records. Thus, tho conclusion was reached that the total world's production of wheat for the year 1913 would show, a splendid record as to' quantity, with the quality and condition very satisfactory to millers.

It has taken, many years to bnild up the reputation of the "Gilruth" Calf Food, but at last merit is rewarded, and this food comes into its own. The "Gilruth" Calf Food is now stocked by almost Storekeeper in the Dominion.—Advt.
