principal farm crops, except potatoes
and rice, improved during August.
The wheat crop is placed at 98l, 900, 900
bushels, 10000. 900 more than last years
record crop. Wet weather has damaged
winter wheat and delayed thresbing. Ad-
ditional inquiries by crop reporters this
month. however, resulted in the crop re-
porting board making no change in its
August prediction of 659, 900, 900 bushels
of winter wheat. Conditions for the
spring wheat crop have been ideal lately.
AS result of the favorable conditions
the spring wheat production forecast was
increased Is. 900, 900 bushels, to total of
322, 600, 900 bushels. When the final can
vass Is made the entire wheat production
probably will reach one billion bushels.
Corn production prospects increased
81. OGO, OO0 during August, the forecast
now being 1855, COO, 600 bushels. Al
though that exceeds last years crop by
more than 10000, 600 bushels, it falls
l39, OOO,0 900 bushels short of the record
crop of 1912.
Oats may reach a record, the Septem-
Der forecast being LAOS, 900, 900 bushels.

vested last year, but ten million bushels
below the record of 1912. kss
The condlt Oh oil White potatoes took a

600, below the 1912 record crop.
