TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Late Spring Forecast Points
to Record Yield of Wheat

A.
of u long staple cotton acreage went
under water. However, cotton is being
planted where the waters have receded
and the actual, final crop reduction due
TO the water is predetermined.
Winter wheat harvest is getting under
way in southern areas. The May reports
indicate a rather light abandonment
(8.4 per cent?. leaving for harvest about
2 ZOO, 900 more acres than were harvested
last year. The general condition Of the
crop is fairly good. excepting a strip Of
plains territory from western Nebraska
southwark and some insect damage in
the Southwest. The early forecast is for
1884, 900 900 bushels. compared with 627,-
0o0, 900 bushels harvested last year.
With hog prices down around 81 per
hundred below last year and corn some
is cents a bushel above. the Corn Belt
situation has changed materially. II this
sharp slump in hog prices tends to re-
strict breeding for fall pigs, however, 1T
may prove a stabilizing factor in the
long rum. The presumption is that hog
prices will make some seasonal rise dur
ing the next few months but nobody
knows what the corn crop is going to be.
