WHEAT ESTIMATE DROPS

Total wheat production for WASH
ington is estimated at 42.481, 900
bushels, which is total drop of mil.
lion bushels from the July report. A
preliminary check of the outrun from
combines in the early harvested fields
reflects that great inroads were made
on expected yields by the June and
July drought. Winter wheat was dam
aged the least, since growing condi-
items for that crop had been extrem,
ely favorable up to the first of June;
but the drought caught some of the
winter wheat in the "dough" stage,
causing approximately half million
bushel loss from this one factor alone
The most extensive drought damage.
however, was to the spring wheat crop
which dropped from an estimated 18,
O36,OO0 bushels ON July1 to 1851,
600 bushels on August 1. The hot, dry
winds in the latter part of June and
early July literally baked many of the
spring wheat fields. The drought
checked the growth Of spring wheat
chiefly when in the "milk' and early
"dougn" stages Of development. This
caused premature ripening and many
fields in the Big Bend country, that
were expected to turn out from IL to
Is bushels per acre actually ran from
8 to 10 bushels. In a few fields the
yields were so low that harvesting did
not pay. The wheat harvest was near
ing peak the last week in July when
general rains and cooler weather halt
ed harvesting operations few days.
The only benefit that the wheat areas
derived from the rain at this time was
to promote weed growth on summer
fallow, which will permit a satisfact-

MAKE REDUCTIONS
IN AAA PAYMENTS

Increased participation by farmers
in the 1910 Agricultural and Range
Conservation Programs and decrease
in available funds have made neces-
sary 10 per cent reduction in AAA
payments for this year, according to
information received this week.
"The reduction in rate does not nee
essarily mean that less payments will
&c to farmers, but that more farmers
will share them.
Tentative rates of payment are an
nounecd in the fall, and are based ON
the best possible estimates of avail
able funds and farmer participation
for the coming year. The law under
which the AAA program operates pro-
vides that rates may be increased or
decreased as much as 10 per cent dur
ing any one year, the chairman said.
{ In 1887, before participation be-
came as general as it is now, rates
were increased 10 per cent Last year
it was necessary to decrease payments
in some parts of the country, but not
in the Western states.
1t was said that the rate decrease
will affect conservation payments on
wheat, potatoes and on conservation
practices for both farm and range.
However there will be no reduction
in price adjustment rates, nor will
the commodity loan or crop insurance
programs he affected in any way.
