THE WHEAT YIELD
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICJL-
TURF SENDS OUT ESTIMATES
Area In Winter Wheat In the United
States on May Was 29.623.O 900
AcreS-This Is Six Per Cent less
Than the Area Reported Seeded
last Fall-I<ansas and California
Lose Heavily.

Figures from the bureau of statis-
tics Of the department of agriculture,
compiled from the correspondents and
agents of the bureau, show the area
under winter wheat remaining in cul-
tivation on May 1 to have been about
29,62S. 900 acres.
This is per cent or about 1,71S,000
acres less than the area reported as
sown last fall. and per cent, or about
241,000 acres less than the area of
winter wheat reported as harvested
last year.
Nearly one-third of the loss this
year. or about $4,000 acres, was in
Kansas. In California the loss was
10 per cent, or 10000 acres. Mich
igan lost per cent, or $4,000 acres.
The largest percentage Of loss in area
was 2e in Washington, 10 in Oregon,
IL in Wisconsin and 9 in Idaho.
But the combined loss in the three
Pacific states, where the acreage in
winter wheat is 2,272,O00, was only
377 900 acres, representing a loss of
5,09S. 900 bushels from last month, and
they have a promise of 39,49S,00O
bushels against 3S.s5+,000 bushels
harvested last year.
There is a loss in Kansas of 7,0Oo,-
600 bushels from the April report, al
though the condition advanced two
points last month; Michigan is off p
0OO,0 bushels and lost four points.
These decreases are due to the re-
duction in acreage.
The 13 winter wheat states have a
crop Of 37s699,O 900 bushels. or 22,-
S2S. 900 bushels less than a month
ago. and show decrease in acreage
of 1.221.O0O. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri
and Oklahoma made gains of one to
three points in April. The indicated
crop for the country is 2S.000,0o0
bushels more than harvested last year.
