NOT TOO MUCH WHEAT.

Tb« World'* Supply and th« Hom« Crop Not so Largo a* Ha* Boon Estimated. The American Agriculturist In Its November number prints an elaborate review of tho wheat situation. It points out that exports from India are falling off and that Russian wheat Is being held for an advance, and that the surplus for export from Australia and South America is very small. The world's supply was by no means made up by last year’s heavy yield In the United Slates, and the replenishing of those reserves accounts for our enormous exports and the active foreign market at present. The Agriculturist’* verification of the returns of HO;, by conference with State agencies for crop statistics where such exist, and by its own system of reports, indicate a total wheat crop for 1368 of 493,4.'8,0(0 bushels.'ll claims that the area of wheal has been -greatly- exaggerated, tbc yield per acre 'under estimated, and the total ciop reported at 5 to 15 ter cent, more tbaa was harvested.
