BILLION BUSHEL WHEAT
CROP PREDICTED

Washington, June IA bumper
wheat crop this year which before
harvest may develop into production
of billion bushels was forecast to-
day by the Department of Agriculture
in its June crop report giving the first
indication 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 931 100000 BUSH
els, which would place this years
harvest as the second largest in the
history of the country.
Experts of the government, aiming
for a billion-bushel crop to help in
feeding the armies and civilian popu-
lation of the allies, pointed to the
development of the record crop of 1915
to substantiate their hopes for crop
equal to that.
In June of 1915 total wheat pro-
duction OF 950,000,O0O bushels was
forecast and the quantity gradually
crept upward until the final figures
for the year showed the crop to be l.
O25SOO,O0O bushels,
IRE acreage soafn 10 sp1ings wheat
this year is larger by 100000 acres
than ever sown before and 21.5 per
cent larger than last year, aggregat-
ing 22,4S9, 900 acres. The condition Of
the crop on June was 952 per cent
of a normal, or Is per cent better
than the ten-year average. A pro-
duction of $44,0O0,0O0 bushels was
forecast. That is 111,000,000 bushels
more than harvest last year and only
about 100000 bushels less than the
record spring wheat harvest of 1915.

Nowhere on this battle line have the

of the allied troops, although they
have fought with great tenacity.
