This was pointed out In estimating the prospective total wheat crop at approximately 700,000,000 bushels, made up of about 450,000,000 winter nnd 250,000,000 spring. "Spring wheat yields," the depart ment said, "show a close relationship to fall precipitation and weather con ditions from April to July. Last fall there was continued dry. weather throughout some of the spring wheat area and this points to low yields un less there is generous rainfall In these areas during the spring months." A total wheat crop of 700,000,000 bushels is bout 30,000,000 below the domestic utilization of the last two years. Because of a short corn crop and low wheat prices, farmers have been feeding large amounts of wheat to livestock. The usual utilization would be about 050,000,000.
