RYE PROSPECTS GOOD

Washington, April Efforts of
American farmers to bring this years
winter whea, crop TO record produc-
ton for war time needs apparently
have been defeated by severe weather
conditions and crop OF only 100000
900 bushels now is expected. In fore
casting that total today, the depart
ment OF agriculture announced that
the average condition OF the crop
April / was the lowest ever recorded
on that date.
The estimate was based on the as
sumption of average abandonment of
acreage and average influence on the
crop between now and harvesting time,
Production of rye promises to estab-
Iish a record with 100000 bushels.
Farmers in the rye-growing states in
creased their acreage by 100000 acres
last fall. foreseeing a demand for that
cereal and higher prices because of
the war.
From present indications the COM
bined winter wheat and rye harvest
will be 490,00O,O0O bushels. compared
with 529,127,0O0 bushels for those two
crops last year.
Winter wheat was sown last autumn
on 100000 acres. which is close Ia
the largest acreage on record. The
crop had bad start in the importan,
growing states and entered the white,
in poor condition. insufficient snow
covering during the winter and DIR,
and windy weather killed much of the
crop.
Much of the abandoned acreage will
be planted to corn In the southern part
OF the belt and to spring wheat in the
northern portion.
Prevailing high prices for wheat are
expected to spur farmers to place g
larger acreage under spring wheat
and officials look for a record crop O,
that cereal.

Most Sensationally Gloomy
Crop Report Ever Is
sued by Government.
BUYING is MTG
Closing Is Wild in Chicago,
Market as Whole, 6 to
l4l4 Net High.

Chicago, April 7.-Frantic buying
and price advances of unparalleled
rapidity and extent resulted in the
wheat market today from a crop re-
port that was characterized as the
most sensational ever issued in the
United States. The closing was wild.
and in some instances at the zenith
quotations reached with the market as
whole 6 to 14A cents net high-May
$212@2.12A and July $1S8M1.SsM,
Corn gained 3A 05h; oats, X M3MD
az and provisions so cents to $1.65.
In view OF the fact that with but a
single exception the crop condition re-
ported by the government was the
lowest on record at any season of the
year and was far under even the most
bullish predictions, all other influ-
ences were temporarily thrust aside.
Strength in corn and oats was al
most entirely borrowed from the vio
lence OF the upswing in wheat.
New high ground was entered upon
by provisions as well as grain.
Owing to the exigencies of war the
bulge in grain, and the scarcity of hogs,
urgent call existed for all packing
house products, pork rose in value as
much as $1.65 a barrel
