Assuming the normal abandon- .' ment of about 12 per cent and aver age yields production would amount to about 810,000,000 bushels. This added to normal spring wheat pro duction ln an area equal to this year would make total wheat production next year approximately 786,000,000 bushels or 70,000,000 more than this year, but about one hundred million ' bushels below average.
