THE COMING CROP OF WHEAT

The governments May crop report 10 of q most en-
|c~ourasins character, promising greater yields Of all farm
products than those OF. last year. and a notable gain in
wheat. Although the loss by abandonment in the winter
sown fields Of wheat exceeds recent estimates, being 1871
per cent, against a ten years average Of 100, favorable
the official prediction that 572 ,53s, 900 bushels will be
harvested. Last years winter crop was only AIS, o0o, 900.
1t is reasonable to expect that the yield will be 900, ooo.-
900. for the government has increased its estimate in each
Of three successive reports. There has been no official
statement about spring -sown wheat. Undoubtedly acre.
age in the spring states has been increased. The United
States Chamber Of Commerce estimates the gain at Is
per cent. Such an addition would indicate 4 crop Of near
~ go. 900, 900 bushels. Last years was 2ss, 900, 900. The
entire crop ow wheat so far as can now be foreseen, will
not be less than $50, 900. 900 and may rise to SIS, 900. 900
In normal times about go, 900, 900 have been required for
domestic consumption and seed. war conservation has
reduced the quantity to not more than, 500, 900. 900. The
coming crop, therefore. will yield an exportable surplus
Of $4,000, 900 or more. canada's increase Of acreage
will add at least 10000, 900 to the quantity that can be
sent to Europe from this country. With 500, 900, 900 soon
to be available for shipment from North America, there
is assurance that the wants Of our war partners on the
other side Of the Atlantic for more than q year to come
will be satisfied.
| Our farmers have plowed and planted for. this great
crop of wheat while there was an unprecented shortage
tof labor that could he hired. As Secretary Houston says:
With less help than ever before they have utilized to
the fullest capacity all their man power and machinery. !"
But this is only a beginning.
Farmers have done and Will continue TO do their part.

sistance Of many additional laborers in cultivation and
harvesting.
We are confident that this labor problem will be
solved. Two federal departments. those Of agriculture
and labor, for some time past Engaged in finding ana
distributing workers. will be helped by state and city
authorities ana by many local associations. The crops
will be harvested and savsd.-New York Times.
