CONDITION POOREST IN RNTfRE
HISTORY or THE COUN-
TRY.
RYE PROSPECTS GOOD
Billion Bushels OF Grain Planned For
Allied Countries Get Hard
Jolt.

Washington, Dec. l9.-Govern-
nent plans for a billion-bush wheat
crop next year to help the United
states feed it's allies have received
= setback. II was disclosed to-day
~ the December crop report of the
department. OF Agriculture that while
winter wheat was planted on the
largest acreage ever sown to that
cereal its condition on December
was the lowest on record for that
sate.
A winter crop OF $4,000, 900 bush e
els was forecast by the Bureau CT
drop Estimates. The actual produc-
ten will be greater or less than that
suaatity sccordin: as conditions here
after are better or worse than aver
age Through a great spring crop II
still is hoped to bring the years to-
tai to somewhere near the billion
mark
Mark Sc, by Government.
An area OF more than 47,o00,e0s
acres WAS the mark set by the Gov
eminent for farmers to plant to win
ter wheat this fall, but the Deem
Der canvass shows that 42,170,0OO
acres were sown. The farmers did
their best, Department of Agricul-
lure officials say, but conditions were
against them. The very dry weather
in most of the winter wheat belt was
a large dra wback. while late harvest
Of other crops and shortage of farm
help were contributing causes for the
failure.
Should the winter wheat crop ma
ture to $40, 900, 900 bushels as fore
east to-day il would be the third
largest of record, being exceeded on
ly by the crops of 1914 and 1919.
Government officials had figured on
having winter wheat production reach
100000 bushels, but to-day's
forecast indicates that it will fan
1S2,OOO.O0O bushels short OF that
squire. Indications are that rye pro-
auction will be 25,OO0,O00 bushels
larger than last years record crop.
Planning Larger Acreage.
Already steps are being taken for
a large increase in the acreage OF
tse spring wheat crop to be planted
H-xt spring. Council OF National De-
tense and Department OF Agriculture
officials have conferred and will adopt
measures to insure an adequate la
Dor supply for planting operations,
ample supplies OF seed wheat and
selp for hsrvests. The largest spring
wheat crop heretofore was in 1919.
when 351, sS4 zee bushels were har-
vested from Is,lsl,ooe acres.

There was plenty of excitement on Front street this morning when Garrod of Council had his string of dogs ready to start back home. He came up the street going west and started to turn east at the Alaska bank cor- ner when the tow line snapped and his thirteen dogs tore madly down street but were stopped in front of Polet's.
 Five or six men started dragging the dogs back to the sled when along came a native driving reindeer. Good Night Nurse!
 Back of the deer was Fred Vincent with his string of Souvenir hunters and Rowdy .he leader yapping for the wishbone.
 That deer's chances of reaching the life saving station were great. GREAT.
 There was some quick thinking and swift action, the bunch with Gar rods string swung a couple of dogs around a telephone pole and cinched in this way the tow line; then by hang ing .o the rest of the dogs managed to let the deer ease past.
 Vincent showed the perfect control he has over his leader and swung his team going off in the other direction.
 It sure looked like dinner bells for few minutes.
