Wheat Crop Estimates
Revised Downward BY
SO Million Bushels
BY the Associoted Press

The latest wheat crop reports
delivered sharp body blow to-
day to any hopes of Government
food officials for removal of pres
ent curbs on domestic consump-
ton of flour and wheat products.
Dry weather in the Southwestern
plains forced the Agriculture De-
partment to revise its crop estimates
downward from the 83O,636, 900
bushels forecast month ago to the
current prospects of a yield of only
742. 1897 900 bushels.
The 88,000,0O0 bushel drop in the
crop outlook since last month also
meant unwelcome news for famine
relief program planners who need
all the wheat they can lay their
hands on to aid the hungry abroad.
Big Crop Still Possible.
Despite present forecasts, however,
improved weather and other condi-
tions still can make possible another
billion bushel wheat crop, but pres
ent indications are that the total
supply <available for the marketing
season beginning July may be 300,-
100000 bushels short of the amount
available during the current season.
Demands for wheat in famine
areas abroad are expected, on the
other hand, to be at least as large
as this season.
Unless the countrys wheat crop
prospects improve materially be-
tween now and harvest, food experts
said the United States will have to
continue rigid controls on domestic
consumption if it is to supply hungry
areas with even two-thirds as much
as it is now exporting.
Domestic consumption is being re-
stricted by orders requiring millers
to produce darker -four and to dis
tribute Is per cent less flour than
consumers had been buying.
No Spring Forecast.
When these measures were in
augurated, food officials expressed
hope that they could be dropped as
