10 Per Cent More Wheat Planted.

" TeT NeUI VOCS wheat TIauISUs
An increase of 10 per cent in wheat
acreage in Minnesota proves the sue.
cess of the campaign made to in.
crease the production of foodstuffs,
Prof. G. P. Bull of the university col.
lege of agriculture has told members
of the state food production and con.
servation committee. This increase
was based on reports from county
agents and individuals throughout the
state.
Other acreage increases he predicts
will be: Flax, 10 per cent; corn, 20
per cent; oats, Is per cent; barley, 10
per cent, and beans, 500 per cent.
The big increase III beans is held
due to interest stimulated by advanc-
ing prices and judicious publicity.
Twice as much ground will be used
this year as in 1916 for gardens, but is
not expected to produce an oversup-
ply.
The crop committee will make a
complete survey of the state at once,
and will report about July 1.
