Winter. Variety Yield of $50 Mil
lion Bushels Believed
~ -" e
U. S. AND ALLIES PROVIDED

Washington, d. c., April S.-Forc-
cast by the department of agriculture
today of winter wheat crop of $780,
0G0,0 bushels this year brought Op-
timism to the food administration. and
the prediction was unolficially made
that if the spring wheat crop main
tanned the, same ratio tie next har
vest, will furnish sufficient wheat tc
take care of, the needs of this cOun'
try anu .he, allies next year.
Today's forecast indicates an in.
crease of 142,000,0O0 bushels Of win
ter wheat over last years winter
crop. which was 41S,OG0,00O bushels
Assuming that the spring wheat crop
will yield the same ratio of increase
there will be total crop Of $4,000,
600 or an increase Of about 2OO,0O0,GOt
bushels over last year, when the en-
tire crop was estimated at 651 100000.
In addition there is an increase OF
26,O0O,000 bushels in the prospective
rye crop. or total prospective in
crease over last year Of about 22o,QQo,
900 bushels of bread grains. 80.
There is also hope of an increase
of 1OO,OOO,000 bushels of wheat over
last year in Great Britain and France
and also an increase in Canada.
The necessity for vigorous saving
between now and harvest is, howeve'
in no way relaxed by harvest pros
poets, the public is warned.

to what they regarded as trick of the
central powers to gain time, They want
Germany to be defeated.
The Austrian prisoners in the hands
of the Americans continue to insist that
the peace offer was not trick of Ger

solely to Austria's determination to get

THE FOOD SITUATION
As 1t Affects United States and Our
Allies.

To acquaint farmers with conditions
prevailing in the mill feed industry, the
food administration outlines develop
ments that may be useful as guide
when purchasing feeds. Most of the
European countries have gathered their
harvests and are now grinding wheat
The foreign demand for -four from the
United States has slackened and has
been replaced by considerable demand
for American wheat.
Shortage OF animal feeds prevails
among all the western allies, which now
prefer to purchase wheat rather than TO
buy -four and mill feed separately.
Wheat can be loaded very rapidly aboard
ship on the American seaboard by me-
chanical conveyors. This operation con.
sumes much less time than loading the
equivalent of wheat, as -four and its by
products and saves space.
One result of this development is a
temporarily light production of wheat
mill feeds in the United States. IL
should be recognized, however, that even
with normal production of such feeds,
the demand was expected TO exceed the
supply since the schedule Of fair prices
established for feed at the suggestion Of
the agricultural advisory committee has
made it very cheap, much cheaper in fact
than it is worth compared with other
feeds OF equal nutritive value.
The reduced output Of wheat mill feeds
is accompanied fortunately by an I'M
usually large production Of certain coarse
grain products. Food administration
regulations provide for an extraction
from barley of only IS per cent -four,
leaving nearly 45 per cent of the barley
berry for feed, which is remarkably rich
