The 1918 WHEAT cRoP.

Viewing the prospects for a Billion
bushel wheat harvest in 1918. ii is un-
fortunate that they are somewhat dis
couraging.
The official December estimate o.
acreage and condition of winter wheat
showed two striking features. the seed
Ing in the fall of 1917 being i2,l,o,t00
acres. the largest for winter wheat on
record, altho at least 100000 acres
less than had been expected. But
while the acreage was exceptionally
large. the condition of 1913 was the
lowest December condition ever re-
ported This was due 10 drought in the
southwest. in Nebraska and in che
state OF Washington.
on the basis of an average loss for
the past ten years Gncluding 81 per
cent in the winter OF I9ls-l7) the re-
port indicated possible yield Of 5e5.-
600. 900 bushels, or only a little more
than half of the hoped-for total OF all
wheat for the 1918 crop. altho. il real:-
zed. this would be more winter wheat
than was grown in recent years, sx-
cept in 1914 and 1918. However. this
would put the burden on the spring
wheat farmers OF raising a crop of
Ais, 900 bushels 20 al ont the bill
Ion bushel program. and the record
spring wheat crop was in 1915, when
the Weld was 35l. $4,000 bushels.

AS TO WINTER FISHING.

The agitation in favor OF modifying
game regulations FOR the purpose OF
allowing spearing thru the ice is

di,ions that surround fish.
Aside from the necessity Of permit
ting the ASH 10 be taken for food. II -
undoubtedly a fact that X fishing thru
the fee should be allowed there would
be more fish alive IN the spring than
II the prohibition should continue IN
.uIl force. The Cedar. Iowa and Wap-
sipinlcon rivers at this season dis
charge small volumes Q. water. There
are deep holes IN the beds OF these
streams and TO such places carp,
buffalo. catfish and quillbacks resort
along with the more samey varieties
These sluggish fish should. In the IN
tere~t Of sport and to promote pro-
dtt-tfon Of game fish, whose spawn ID
destroyed by carp and buffalo, be re-
moved from the rivers and ponds. The
solid freezing OF the surface excludes
oxygen from the water and fsh are
smothered by the thousands. Cutting
the Ice to allow spearing would modify
this condition for the better.
The state wardens remove coarse
Ash by the use Of SENS and nets. but
offer them for sale only in such guam

sumner from participation in the Dcne-
