SltVl psAOhA
Washington, May S-Official wheat
crop estimates announced today show
that with the world facing a bread
shortage, the United States, unless it
cuts its present consumption, probably
will produce only enough wheat this
year to supply its own population.
The forecast, compiled ~ the De-
partment of Agriculture on conditions
May /, puts this country's winter
wheat yield at 366,O00OOO bushels,
the smallest in thirteen years. There
will be no estimates of spring wheat
acreage until July, but with crop Of
25O,OOO,OO0 bushels, which is higher
than the average, this country would
grow this year q total of only &c.
100000 bushels. The normal Ameri-
can consumption with seed require
ments is put at slightly mroe than
600,000,0O0 bushels.

to be lower than at any proyio 8 time.
