which will be a record crop, oats and berley. A large corn crop also undoubt- edly will be grown in response to the re- peated requests from government off, cials for increased production.
 Spring wheat, the June report shows. was planted on an area almost as large as that of 1915, when a record crop Of 352, ,O00.O00 bushels was grown. The con- dition of that crop on June 1 was all most points below the 1O-year average. indicating a production of only 23,OOo. .OOO bushels. With favorable growing condi- tions the production may reach greater pro portions by harvest time
 The late spring prevented farmers from putting as much land in spring wheat as had been expected and the cold weather has prevented germination to a certain extent.
 Indications are for crop of oats third in size in the country's history, and for a crop of rye exceeding the record by 4,0 ,000,G00 bushels. Barley also will be a heavy crop, probably third in size in his- tory.
