GRAIN CROPS IS FORECAST
Winter Wheat Fares Badly Due to
Low . Temperatures; Low
Yield Expected .
WASHINGTON, June 9 (By
Associated Press.) The total
wheat crop of the United States
forecast today by the department i
of agriculture at 661.000,000 bu
shels is the smallest since 1917
and 212.000,000 less than pro

Commenting on the forecast, the
crop reporting board stated that
the "requirements of -wheat ' for
domestic consumption do not
greatly differ from -this amount,"
indicating there would be little or I
no "wheat for export from this
year's crop. '
While the barley crop is larger
than last year's production, those
of oats, ryei hay, peaches, and
pears are smaller. -
Winter wheat fared badly
throughout most of the belt during
May because of low temperatures,
deficient moisture and plans weak
ened by the adverse winter condi
tions. Production of 407.000.000
bushels forecast from the June
first condition which was) 64h5 per
cent; of a normal, or ! 10.5 points
below the May 1 condition; There
was a reduction of 38,000,000
bushels since the May forecasts.
The winter wheat acre yield is
Placed at 12.4 bushels on June 1
conditions. , Not since 1904 has
the yield been so lo w, ' while rec
