Board OF Agriculture Has Wheat Es.
Inmates Down to q Science

inmates Down 10 q science
The business OF estimating wheat
production, based on reported acre
age and condition Of crops, has been
reduced to almost an exact science
by the State Board Of Agriculture,
judging from a comparison Of the
July estimates of each year with the
actual threshing returns available late
the fall.
In the FIVE years from 1915 to
1919 inclusive the total estimated
wheat crop was approximately 4S7
million bushels. The actual number
of bushels was 476 million. This is
variation Of less than 3 per cent.
Each fall the two thousand crop
correspondents Of the board Of agri-
culture estimate the acreage sown to
wheat in their respective counties.
The first prediction as to total yield
is made by Secretary J. G. Mohler in
May, based on the acreage reported
to be still growing in the spring, and
the condition Of the wheat. In some
years the estimate made in May cor
responds very closely to the actual
production. For example. in 1917
the May estimate was 10000, 900
bushels as compared to threshing re-
turns Of Al 800, 900 bushels.
