CONDITION OF WHEAT
BELOW THE AVERAGE

A winter wheat condition Of 500
which is below the average for this
dat rye cond ton of $50 a sub
stantial increase in number of brood
sows and The farm labor supply gen
orally exceeding the demand are the
leading statements in the April crop
report released today by Leo Stuhr,
secretary Of the Nebraska Depart
ment Of Agriculture and A. L. Ander-
son, Stetistician for The Bureau Of
Markets and Crop Estimates.
The present wheat cond tion 500
which is 1870 below last year and $50
below The ten year average, forecasts
o production Of 60,f01,0O0 bushels.
The bulk of the crop h asmade better
prog -ess than one would ordinarily
-s;pect urder the dry unfavorable
autumn and winter weather. and fur
ther Improvement is possible under
favorable condition.
The present cond ton of the VIII sat
crop in the eastern third of the state
is generally very satisfactory but
west CT here and particularly in
south central Nebraska, more or less
damage has been sustained. Here,
stands have b,-D thnned out to vary-
ing oXten.s and some abandonment is
expected The crop is starting out
with tn disadvantage Of beng late
aid ma weakened condition and with
little reserve subsoil moisture. The
chanc' for the crop to recover depends
'crrely upon such weather conditions
rs WI favor ill ng and give the
thilncd stands an advance start Of the
weeds. Some Of Il, important wheat
counties in western Nebraska were
still short Of moisture and the condi-
ton is not promising. An estimate
of the abandonment will be made next
month.
The condition Of rye is $50 as
compared to SSfs last December md
the ten year average of 91et for this
date. A possible production of l.
92S,000 bushels is forecasted by this
condition. The final estimate last
year was 1,714,000 bushels.
The number of brood sows has in
creased 10ft over the previous year,
the number being placed at 734 coo
head as compared to $4,000 last year,
The present corn resery. and the rel
ativc prices of corn and swine during
the past winter seems to have given
cons. derable stimulus to swine produc-
tion. Reports on the litters to date
vary from severe losses to highly
satisfactory results.
The farm labor supply is 1920 as
compared to last year and 103fo as
compared to the normal supply for
this date. The labor demand is 91fo
as compared to last year and 91f6 as
compared to the normal demand.
Correspondents report general ten
dency toward the elimination of hired
farm labor as far as pract, cal. The
relation of farm labor supply to the
demand is 1920 as compared to 114%o
last year and 7496 two years ago.
Estimates for the United States
are as follows: winter wheat condi-
ton 78.4% as compared to 1870 last
December, 9196 a year ago and the
ten year average of $3.50. The pres
ent condition forecasts crop of 572,-
974,000 bushels as compared to the
final estimate last year Of 5S7032,-
600 bushels. The present cond tion
of rye is 899o and the indicated crop
69,667,OO0 bushels as compared to
57,91S,000 bushels the final estimate
last year.

The exhibition was beyond a doubt
one of the best ever held in this city

who were present. Gymnasium
marching tactics, Indian club drills,
wand drills, athletic pageant, scare

and osthetic couple dances were some
of the features of the event.
The athletic pageant was probably
the most interesting event on the
program, while the relay races, arch

also Of unusual interest.
