sible for the change in the exemption

posed of F.. G. Pierce, Postmaster A.

WHEAT CROP IS
GREATER THAN EVER

Des Moines, Dec. 26.-If Iowa's win
ter wheat crop-raised on 459,156
acres-doesn't go far enough in its
help toward feeding the United States
and her allies, the Hawkeye farmers
next spring will displace oats with
wheat.
Nine thousand more acres are plant.
ed In wheat this winter than last and
grain experts today said the crop
would be so per cent larger than that
harvested last year. So far weather
conditions have been favorable to the
grain and with a mild spring, a record
crop is expected, though none of the
experts would hazard an estimate in
bushels.
II the crop fails, or if the govern
'ment experts, or the food adninistra-
ton says the word, little ground will
be planted in oats. Former oats plots
will be planted in wheat.
