FEAR WHEAT SHORTAGE
IN VIRGINIA VALLEY
Farmers of Lower Shenandoah, Max
ing Thorough Inspection of Their
acreage.

Winchester, March 2S.-Many of
the farmers of the lower Shenandoah
Valley are making very critical and
thorough Inspections OF their wheat
acreage since the receipt of reports of
a reliable character from the neigh
boring sections of Maryland ana West
Virginia, to the effect that the crop
Will be much shorter than last year,
according to present prospects.
1t is stated by men who know how
to examine and judge concerning the
condition of wheat at this time of
the year that there has been too much
freezing and thawing weather since
early in January and that they have
found great quantities OF grain prac-
ticaliy killed by freez, occurring after
a spell of thawing weather A great
part OF the roots are now also ex-
posed and cannot get proper nourish-
ment from the soil.
Practically all the farmers in this
section of the country materially in
creased their wheat average last fall,
having been led to believe that the
European war would cause a much
greater demand for erican wheat
than formerly. and those who increas-
ed their acreage are especially dis
appointed at the outlook.
