WHEAT CONDITION IS
 DlSCOURACINC
lAssocIated Prcsal


 WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec l9 The statistics published today by the department of agriculture re garding the condition of the winter wheat crop is slightly discouraging, and may be the cause of more stringent regulations being issued by the national food administration While it is shown that the acreage this year is greater than has ever before been put in, it also showed the lowest production on record for December.
 A total of 42,000,000 acres have been sown. and the first forecast made predicts a yield of winter wheat of only 540,00O.O00 bushels These figures are the results of the estimates formed by experts who have been over the entire wheat belt
 The untavorable weather conditions which have prevailed over the cn- tire country for the past several weeks are the cause of the back ward sta.e of the crop. l. is pos aible that with exceedingly favorable weather from now until harvest time the estimates may be exceeded. but this ia not considered probable
