Hope for Bumper Crop
Seen in Winter Wheat
By the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department re-
ported yesterday that the winter
wheat crop has progressed well in
virtually all areas. This has sus-
tanned official hope for another
bumper crop.
A big wheat yield is needed this
year to enable the United States to
continue heavy exports planned
under the European recovery pro-
gram.
The department said practically
all areas have ample moisture sup
plies-a key element in producing
a big crop.
In a March crop report, the de-
partment said seasonal progress at
the opening of the new crop year
is nearly normal in most of the
country. An exception was the
south, where conditions were said
to be somewhat retarded.
Egg production in February was
said to have been about 2 per cent
less than in February last year.
This reduction reflected the fact
there were 2 per cent fewer laying
hens on farms. However, total
production was still about 20 per
cent above average.
Milk production in February was
said to have been 3 per cent less
than in the corresponding month
last year. There were fewer milk
cows on farms than a year ago.

noted that his and other States have
granted this right to veterans who
had studied law, but went into serv-
ice before they took bar admission
written examinations.
The plan was opposed by the
Commissioners, represented by As
sistant Corporation Counsel Irving
Bryan. A number of veterans urged
passage, including, John c. William
son and Robert Sutphin of the Dis
trict Department of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars.
Attorney James J. Laughlin, an
advocate Of the bill, attacked the
plan under which. the examiners,
members OF a court-appointed

tee, are permitted to keep the net
receipts Of the $25 examination fees
paid by bar candidates.

West later explained that all ex-
penses must come out of these fees.
