IN AMERICAN HISTORY
IS SHOWN BY REPORTS
United STATES Chamber of Com

ceed Record In 1911.
tBv Associated Press l

WASHINGTON, May o.-Prediction
OF the Department OF Agriculture for a
wheat crop this year even larger than
the record breaking crop of 1914 was
repeated today by the Unite, States
Chamber of Commerce in a report ba sed
on statistics obtained from all sections
Of the country. The report stated that
an acreage never before equaled had
been planted and a yield oof 900. 900. 900
bushels was forecastcd.
The condition of the winter wheat
is SO high as TO be without prece dc IT
or parallel" the report said. 1T is. in
fact. monotone Of perfection. The
trying month Of March unscathed and
unhurt IN many sections OF the West
and Southwest 1t was necessary to
pasture it to live stock to keep down
its rank growth
Reports OF damage are mostly re-
Mere rumors OF EIcssian fly and sor.o
stray predatory insects, but that is all.
Unless some climatic catastrophe, or
some EEyptian-,ike and unexpected
plague or insects intervene, the yield
will proba bly, be 800. 900, 900 bushels. or
about 33 per cen: more than the great
harvest of 1914"
The report stated that one interest
ing sdeligh; OF the situation was that
about 25 per cent of the yield would
be south Of Mason and Dixons line
Southern States which never before
grew winter wheat this year have large
acreages planted. 1t was said. Reports
wheat had been delayed from ten days
to two weeks by excessive rains. and
a decrease of acreage as compared
with last year was expected.
