LIE WHEAT CROP.

Discussing the prospect Of wheat

can says The outlook for the crops
now becomes II leading factor in specu-
latiye enterprise, and the Agricultural
department last week issued the first Of
the seasons estimates of crop condi-
tons This report relates chiefly to
winter wheat and represents an April
condition Of TS.7 compared with Oh
last year at this time 50 on April l.,
1900 and ~ I Us the mean average for
the last 10 years The figures ~ to
acreage are to be given later on They
are likely to show u largely increased
area planted 10 winter wheat, the
farmers having been led to give more
attention to this grain by the large
yield Of last year, the good prices OBJ
tanned and the failure Of corn which is
principal crop Of many Of the winter
wheat states The larger acreage viii
offset to degree the low condition now
reported, in calculating probable pro-
ductou, but the departments report
will prove generally disappointing
The dry weather Of last fall prevented
a favorable planting and lack Of mois-
ture ard snow covering during the
winter has also proved injurious.
Rarely is it that the condition Of
this crop Mt harvest is higher than on
April t. Almost invariably il is lower,
and hence the present prospect is that a
winter wheat yield per acre materially
below the average will be harvested.
As winter wheat usually constitutes
about twothirds Of the total wheat
yield of the country it is evident that
only very favorable conditions in the
spring wheat sections can save to the
country a large production Of this grain
during the coming season The April
condition Of winter wheat back ~
