THE DOMINION'S HARVEST
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The' director of the Wheat Research Institute states that wheat returns may prove better than at first anicipated. He thinks it is not unlikely the average yield this year will approach 29 bushels an acre. Much of the grain will be thin, but the general appearances are for satisfactory quality. If an average of 29 bushels is realised, the total yield will bo 7,047,000 bushels, which, with 517,000 bushels carry-over and 750,000 bushels which is the usual importation, will make the gross supply 8,314,000 bushels, sufficient for the Dominion's needs.
