WASHINGTON. Julv KWJPV-
. v-
. A forecast of a bumper wheat
crop of, 1,128,000,000 bushels and
' a very large corn crop of 2,880,
000,000 bushels topped an agri-
culture department report today
. predicting that 1944 crop produce
, tion will be larger than in any
year prior to the record year of
. By far the largest in hlstorr.
- the indicated wheat crop is 119,-1
. 000,000 bushels greater than the !
previous record harvest of 1915 1
and exceeds last year's cron bv
. 291,000,000 bushels. It will go far
toward restoring reserves largely
- depleted by wartime demands for
livestock feed and industrial uses.
The department said . the large
wheat and corn crops are exDected
to be supplemented by fairly eood
crops of oats and barley, a near
record output of fruits, vegetable
and soy beans, but substantially
' smaller , crops of dry beans, dry
- peas, peanuts and potatoes than
were produced last year.
-. . The department said "dust
bowl';" farmers of the southwest
who stuck through droughts and
dust storms of the last decade
have staged a -comeback. The
Kansas and Oklahoma wheat
. ' crops are so large that they ex
ceed storage and " transportation
facilities, necessitating the piling
of millions of bushels on the
- ground until it can be moved.
