Winter Wheat Crop

The acreage of winter wheat sown
in Utah this fall is SS per cent of
last years sowing, or $4,000 acres.
The revised estimate for last year is
10000 acres. The condition of the
growing crop this year is 10 per cent
OF normal compared with so last year.
The reduction in acreage is prob
ably due in greater part to the poor
financial returns from winter wheat
last season, than to the drouth this
fall. Prices are low and when APP
piled to the extremely low yield many
sections showed no return for the
effort made in growing the crop. The
low growing condition is reported
rather uniformly from all sections.
The soil was too dry for e> N germi-
nation at seeding so the stand is
spotted and growth is very backward.
Exceptionally favorable conditions
will be needed next spring to make
a crop. The present weather factors
of snow cover on unfrozen ground
are good but must be continued.
For the United States the acreage
this year is 46,O6s,OoO compared with
47,611,OOO last season. The present
condition is 1915 and year ago was
$50 per cent.
Rye acreage in Utah this year is
80 per cent Of last. This makes a

English Place Names.

The charm Of English place names
Is not only In their hewildering va
rlety, but In the fact that almost all
OF them seem indigenous. At any rate,
they are all rooted deep, from what
ever original soil they came. Latin
and Danish names have been wealth
cred and mellowed in so many cen
turtles Of English history that one re-
members only with an effort that they
are not English In origin. Only the
Norman names have the slightest
tincture Of foreign suggestion about
them. French is still rather tender

against the sunny southern wall OF the
language. Bcaulieu does not seem to
