MILLION MORE ACRES
IN SPRING WHEAT
By The United Press.

by Inc DnlJeu ffeSs.
WASHINGTON, April i3.-America's'
1918 spring wheat crop prom ses to
be the greatest since 1911. the best
spring wheat year in the history Of the
country.
Although spring wheat sowing is sim
a week or more away in most sections,
reports from every State in the Union
compiled here today show American
farmers will respond to the worlds cry
for food by sowing 100000 acres more
TO spring wheat This year than last.
Last years acreage was slightly
more than iS,000O00 and the record acre
age Of 1911 was 20,0O0,OOO
DepaI iment. Of Agriculture crop exs
perts say the extra million acres sown
this year should yield an average of
- bushels TO the acre, add ng i400O000
bushels Of wheat to feed the United
States and the Allies.
Ohio, State which has not grown
any spring wheat for more than 40
years, will have about 5000 acres this
year as the result Of a campaign for
spring wheat sowing carried on by the
Stale and Federal agricultural depart
ments.
New York and Illinois are also sow
ing spring wheat for the first time ln
years The bulk Of the increased acre
age, however, is found in the Pacific
Northwest. especially in Washington
where last years planting was held
up by adverse weather condit ons.
Many farmers also are turning to
rye as one of the most profitable crops
Of the year The 1918 yield will prac-
tically double that Of two years ago
acco ding to department Of agriculture
estimates.
An overwhelming demand for rye as g
wheat substitute is largely responsible
for the spurt in the rye acreage, it is
believed.
Rye is selling around 50 - and will
grow I'm reg ons too cold for wheat and
on soil too poor foc other gains.
Rye yield this year will by S6,O0OO0O
bushels. the Department Of Agriculture
est mate, against 60,l45,000 bushels last
year and l8,8c2,0OO in 1916.
