The lack of acreage Is all that kept the three states from breaking alT pro duction records for the season. i-The year will go down into wheat crop his tory as: one ot tne mosi remarwoio that the Pacific Northwest has ever produced. - ' It has been a remarkable crop in every particular. Facing the most acute short age of sown acres as compared with the previous year that the three states have ever known, there was in sient up k a very ; short time ago prospects for the greatest total production. For 1920 the present prospect is for a crep of at least ; 70,998.000 - bushel v.ol wheat for the three states as compared with 80,425.000 bushels a year ago.'. First glance, at these figures would indicate that the season has not been nearly as good as initial remarks would indicate but that ia not. actually the case. Fact of the matter Is thaff'the T920 wheat crop, of the Pacific Northwest naa faced most unusual conditions. Owing to war conditions it was absolutely necessary that a large percentage of the previous acreage be eliminated : this season, or In mother words much : area irr summer-fallow. The planting with its serious decrease was the first ad verse condition, v. Then followed ex tremely dry weather for a long period which compelled growers In many sec tions to DUt .their seed in dost with the consequent rapid ; growing of mustard and other weed.
