WINTER WHEAT
GROWTH IN WEST
Unprecedented
Crop Exceeding Record Set
in 1914 Indicated by
Official Estimates;
Damage Slight.

Washington, May 2-Prediction
of the Department. of Agriculture
for a wheat crop this year even
larger than the cord-breaking
crop of 1914 was repeated today by
the United States Chamber of
Commerce in report based on sta
tistics obtained from all sections of
the country. The report stated that
an acreage never before equalled has
been planted and a yield of 9C0,000,-
600 bushels was forecast.
"The condition of the winter
wheat is so high as to be without
precedent" the report said. "The
plant came through the winter and
the trying month of March un-
scathed and unhurt. In many sec
tions of the west and southwest it
was necessary to pasture it to live
stock to keep down its rank growth.
Reports of damage are mostly
remarkable by their entire absence.
There are rumors of Hessian fly and
some stray predatory insects, but
that is all. Unless some climatic
catastrophe or some Eygptlan-like
and unexpected plague or insects in
tervenes, the yield will probably be
900,000,000 bushels, or about SO per
cent more than the greatest harvest
of 1914"
The report stated that one inter-
esting Side light of the situation was
that about Is per cent of the yield
would be south of the Mason and
Dixon line. Southern states WHICH
never before grew winter wheat,
this year have large acreages plant
ed, it was said. Reports showed
that the seeding of spring wheat
has been delayed for 10 days to two
weeks by excessive rains and de-
crease of acreage as compared with
last wear is expected.
