The December crop report estimated
the winter wheat area at 34,0O0, 900
acres, about 100000 acres more than
the largest on record, the 1901, and about
100000 acres in excess of the area har-
rested in 1902. If the full yield Of
wheat, representing 100. is taken rs 16.5
bushels per acre, the April percentage
IF condition, 97.3, would suggest a yield
per acre of about 16 bushels. This yield
per acre OH an area of 34,000,0OO acres
would mean a winter wheat yield of
$4,000 900 bushels, compared with ALL
100000 bushels winter wheat raised In
1902 and compared with $4,000 600
bushels winter wheat raised in the record
crop of 1901 If the present growing
winter wheat crop should realize the
government predictions the total would
be 133, 100000 bushels In excess of last
year and lis. .000,0 600 bushels in excess of
the largest ever raised, the 1901 winter
wheat crop.
The average condition of winter rye
On April l was 97.9, against S5.4 on
April /. 1902, 93.1 at the corresponding
date in 1901. and $40 the mean of the
April average of the last ten years.
