WINTER WHEAT
CROP LOOMS AS
RECORD BREAKER
Report Will Show Large In
crease Over 560,000,000
Bushel Estimate, Is Belief.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Continued
good reports throughout April have
given indications that today's winter
wheat forecast based on conditions
prevailing May 1, and issued by the
department of agriculture at 2:15 p
M, would show large increase over
the 560o00,0CO bushels estimated in
April.
Private estimates within the last
week have placed the prospective crop
at from G0O,O0O.000 to 650.00o,0oo
bushels. Last December from condi-
tions then existing the prospective
production was placed at $4,000, ,00O
bushels Last year the crop amount
ed to 41S,O70,00O bushels; in 1916 it
was 4SO,553 900 bushels, and the larg.
est crop ever known was that of 1914
when 6S4.990.OOO bushels were har-
vested.
While the acreage of winter wheat
was the largest ever planted, being
42,170,000 acres, 1t was below what
the government had expected in the
campaign to produce billion bushels
of wheat this year to help feed the al
lies. Adverse conditions and shortage
of ram help were ascribed as the
cause for the failure to plant the Al
$4,000 acres planned by the govern
ment.
The abandonment of acreage as a
result of climatic and other winter
conditions was expected this year to
be much lower than the average. In
1917, the abandonment amounted to
thirty per cent. of the area planted,
leaving 27,43O.OOO acres to be harvest
ed. That was practically the highest
percentage abandoned in any year
In recent years the lowest percentage
of abandonment was 2.S in 1903.
Winter wheat condition on April 1
last was 1876 per cent. of normal,
1872 on May / last year and advanced
S57 for the previous te nyears.
Rye conditions on April 1. forecast
a crop of S6,000,000 bushels compared
4S,S62, 900 in 1916. That crop also
was expected to show betterment as a
result of April conditions. The con-
dition of the plant on April l was
S5S percent. of a normal. Last year
on May / it was SS.S and the ten year
May l average is 90.2.
Hay productions was 94,930 tons In
1917 and 11O,992, 900 in 1916. The con-
dition of meadow (hay) lands May l
last year was SS7 and averaged SS.5 in
the previous ter years.
Stocks or hay on farms May / last
year amounted to 12,659,000 tons and
averaged -2,212,O00 for the five year
period.
The condition of pastures May /.
1917, was 819 per cent. and showed a
ten year average og $50.
Spring planting last year vas 5s.7
per cent. of normal and the ten year
average planting was SIS.

About two-thirds of Wayne county's
normal vote was cast at the primary
elections Tuesday. The Republican
party cast about $500 ballots and the
Democrats a few more than 500.

also a great deal of interest in the
nomination for prosecuting attorney.
