Winter wheat, sown last autumn on

planted to that crop in the history OF
American agriculture, entered the win

on December !.
In its December production forecast,
the department OF agriculture estimated
the crop would be about 540,000.000
bushels. Efforts had been made in the
early fall TO stimulate production by
heavy planting, but weather and other
conditions wsre adverse /,
The government had aimed TO have a
crop OF 12,000.000 bushels of winter
wheat and relied upon farmers to plant
enough spring wheat TO bring the coun-
try's wheat production this year TO more
than 1000, 100000 bushels. Weather con-

been adverse to the winter grain crops
