Record Wheat Crop Cut By Red
Rust Infection.

Bumper crops are growing Throughout
the country, but plant diseases already
have done some damage and threaten to
curtail production somewhat The LARGEST
wheat crop ever grown, ageregating 1885,
100000 bushels of winter and spring
wheat combined. was forecast in Mondays
monthly report of the Department of Az
riculture. That represents practically one
third of the worlds wheat crop this year
In previous years the United States has
grown about one-fifth. Big crops of oats
barley. rye, hay. apples and peaches also
are in prospect.
THE winter wheat crop, extraordinary
in its high condition of zoos per cent. at
the beginning of May. while still showing
the high condition of $40 per cent. Of
normal, and promising the record breaking
production of 892.822.000 bushels, ex-
hibits by no means the brilliant. almost
ideal, condition that was afforded a month
ago. The principal cause of decline and
one carrying the threats Of still greater
damage, is the appearance of red rust in
practically all of the Central States west
of the Mississippi River and extending
eastward through the States south of the
Ohio River into and through the Piedmont
regions of the Atlantic Coast States as far
as Maryland. From Nebraska to Central
Texas this infection is very general. The
damage will be light in Texas. Doubt
exists as to the harm. if any, likely to re-
suit in Oklahoma. where the leaves are
destroyed over large areas. but the heads
are filed and many authorities contend
that the crop will show little harm. In
Kansas and Nebraska wheat is well ad-
vanced toward maturity, but the rust in
lection is exceptionally heavy and the
extent Of loss to be expected entirely
problematic. The decline in the last week
Of May was very marked in those States.
especially in Kansas.
Some smut is reported. though not seri-
Gus, from scattered points in Maryland,
Indiana. Illinois. Missouri and Kansas.
The presence is confirmed OF the serious
disease e-all in a few counties in ILL
nOis.
Insect damage is light. the Hessian fly
being reported only from few counties
in Indiana and Illinois, the joint worm
from scattered localities. principally in
Missouri. and the army worm In Oklahoma.
Conditions in the northeastern quarter
Of the country remain very high. Ohio
especially showing condition Of 100 per
cent Of normal and all through this region
bumper yields are promised.
The spring wheat crop shows an in
crease of Ito of per cent in the area
sown. The late spring and abundant rain
fall interfered with planting as lcrge an
acreage as had been intended. The con-
dition is good in the principal producing
States"

can only be done through the generous
support of the people of the State. The
drive is now on and it ought to be the
pleasure as well as the privilege of every
one to contribute their best toward this
noble Army of Christian workers.
