Washington.-Owing to the poor
condition of winter wheat on Dec.
the Department of Agriculture's esti-
mate, based on condition figures OF
production next year. is only 5S0.000,-
600 bushels, although the area sown
this fall. 41,263.O00 acres, Ia the great
est ever planted in the United States.
The poor condition is due principal
ly to a very dry fall, which caused the
growing crop to get poor start and
to the Hessian fly, scattering reports
of which have been received from
various localities from Maryland to
Oklahoma.
The bureau of crop estimates. in in
terpreting the condition reports. Is
sued this statement:
1.-The condition of the winter wheat
crop on Dec / is estimated at S8.3 per
cent of a normal crop. which compares
with 97.2 per cent year ago. In the
past ten years, the condition on Dec.
/ has averaged 9O.3 per cent and the
outturn of the crops has averaged
about 14.4 bushels per acre on the
planted area.
In the same proportion the condi-
tion of SS.3 would forecast yield Of
about 140S bushels. which. on the
estimated acreage planted. amounts
to S0,OO0,O00 bushels.
"The production in 1914 was esti-
mated at 675,623,OO0 bushels (by far
the largest amount ever produced in
one year, and in the preceding five
years an average annual production OF
AL 100000 bushels.
I'm forecasting this quantity Of $780,
100000 bushels. 1t should be consid-
cred as the amount of which the prob
ability is equal that the outturn will
be either above or below 1t. The crop
will be larger or smaller than this
amount, according as the changes in
conditions from now to harvest are
better or worse than average changes"
Rye was sown this fall on 2.S51 900
acres, an increase of $4,000 acres over
the revised estimated area sown last
fall. The condition of rye on Dec. 4
was 1876 per cent OF a normal. against
95.3 per cent last year, 93.5 In 1919,
and 90 the ten-year average.

Greeley, Colo.-The Christmas Of
fering OF the Great Western Sugar

In the form of payment for beets de-

/ In this county, the Eaton factory
disbursed s315,0O0. Windsor $275,OOO

frcm these three factories, however,
does not represent the entire amount
of money paid to farmers of Weld

district. the Weldona valley and fur
ther south on the Union Pacific. ship
their beets to factories outside OF

100000; Loveland, $345.000; Long
mont. s23O,OOO; Sterling, 100000;
Brush. sl25.OOO, and Fort Morgan
$4,000. This is the last heavy pay
ment that will be made by the com
pany. as the remaining money to be
received by the farmers will be for
scattering returns Of sliced beets and
a short delivery during the present
month.
Practically all the beets are dis
posed of now, and but few dumps
along the line are handling any. The
factory is running at the rate Of from
1,10O to 1900 tons per day in the slic.
ing department, and indications are
now that the season will close at the
factory about the last of the month.
