Only Surplus of 160,O0O,0O0 Bushels From Last Year Keeps Nation From Want. Total Crop 611,O0O,00O.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Sept. s. - Heavy damage to the country's cereal crops during August caused a loss of many millions of bushels of prospective pro auction. cutting down the outlook for wheat to below the amount required for home consumption. The depart ment of agriculture's monthly fore cast issued today estimates the wheat crop at ell ,OOO OOO bushels. or 9.OOO,- GOO bushels less than is calculated to be necessary for domestic use. A car ry-over of approximately 16O,OO0,OOO bushels of old wheat from last years record breaking crop. however, will make up the deficiency and leave something like 1OO.0O0OOO bushels available to supply the heavy demand of foreosn nations for American wheat.
 Spring wheat parched by hot and dry weather showed a loss of 43,000,- OOO bushels since the August forecast of production. while corn estimates were 67.000.000 bushels smaller than forecast a month ago.
 A preliminary estimate of the win ter crop places the production at 455. .O00, ,O00 bushels and that of spring wheat at 156OGO, 900. The prospective spring crop is the smallest in 9 years and 200 1000, 900 bushels less than har- vested last year The total wheat croD is placed at ell .0O0.O00 bushels, which is 400 .OOO. 900 bushels less than last years record breaking crop of 1 .O12. 100000 bushels. The combined winter and spring wheat crop is the smallest since 1900 and the acreage is the lowest in 23 years.
 The heavy loss in prospective pro duction of corn was due to drought In Oklahoma many fields of corn were cut from ensilage or fodder. The to- tai crop is forecast at 2.710.000,000 bushels. which is 22OO0.OOO bushels smaller than the average for the last five years
 Production of 31S.OOO,O 900 bushels of potatoes is predicted.
 Other losses from the production estimates made a month ago are:
 Oats 43,O0O,0 900 bushels. barley H. 000. 900 bushels. buckwheat 1,S0O,000 bushels. rye 100000 bushels. cotton 1 LOO GOO bales. aDples 3.900,0OO bar rels and peaches 3,4OO.OOO bushels.
