The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-11-23

Lakeland has already filed its re-
quest with the War Department for
gun for the city park in Lakeland.
Having Park in Washington, who
is something of gun himself, our
Polk county neighbors are counting
strong on Parks getting a gun for
the park. Plant City has neither
park nor gun, but this immediate
section has furnished more than four
hundred boys to man the nations
guns in the late hunflict and this
should entitle us to few guns whom
they are being passed out. In the
meantime some Of our wealthy citi-
zens or far-sighted public officials
might secure the park.--Plant City

WHEAT CROP MAY
HIT BILLION MARK
Government Estimate Based
on June l Condition Is
for Bumper Yield.

WASHINGTON. June s-A bumper
wheat crop this year. which before har-
vest may develop into a production Of
1000 000, 900 bushels. was forecast today
by the Department of Agriculture in its
June crop report giving the FIRST indi-
cation Of the size Of this years spring
wheat output
Basing its estimate on June l condi-
tions the department forecast a total
wheat production Of 93f 100000 bushels
which would place this years harvest
as the second largest in the history Of
the country. Experts of the government,
aiming for a bnlion-b bushel crop to help
in feeding the armies and civilian poTU-
lation Of the allies, pointed to the de-
velopment Of the record crop Of 1915 to
substantiate their hopes for a crop equal
10 that
IN June Of 1915 total wheat produc-
ton Of 95o0O0 600 bushels was forecast
and the quantity gradually crept upward
until the final figure for the year showed
the crop to be 1025S00 600 bushels
100000 Acres Larger.
The acreage sown TO spring wheat
this year is larger by 100000 acres
than ever sown before and 215 per cent
larger than last year. aggregating 22.-
$4,000 acres. The condition Of the crop
on June / was $50 per cent of normal
or / 3 per cent better than the ten year
average. a production Of 344000,Oo0
bushels was forecast. That is 11l.000,-
600 bushels more than was harvested
last year and only about 7.o00,o00-ooo
bushels less than the record spring
wheat harvest of 1915
Winter wheat. growing on the second
largest acreage ever planted, showed
a condition Of per cent better than
the ten-year avera ge. With 1913 per cent
Of a normal A production OF $4,000
o0o bushels was forecast. which is 15.-
ono. 600 bushels more than forecast from
conditions existing May I. Such a crop
would be the third in size grown II tbs
country
The oats crop also promises to be Of
record proportions On an acreage FL
per cent larger than last year when the
record crop-1.5s7. 100000 bushels-was
grown. June conditions warrant a
forecast Of 1900 600 600 bushels. Only
last years and the crop of 1915 exceed
ed that quantity
Rye production will be a record, the
forecast being 81 100000 bushels which
is slightly less than was forecast in
May. Last years crop was 60i00.o00
bushels. which was a record.
