Tbe improvement was reflected In a fore cast of 28.000,000 bushels more In the combined winter and spring wheat crop than estimated a month ago; seven million bushels more oats, 8. 000,000 bushels more barley and 2.000, 000 bushels more rye. The spring wheat crop Is larger than last year's by 82,000,000 bushels, but the winter wheat crop is 114,000, 000 bushels smaller, although It is only 45,000,000 less than tbe five-year average production. Wheat of last year's crop remaining on farms July 1 was reported as 47, 756.000 bushels, or more than five per cent of the crop. That, added to this year's prospective production, makes available about 856,000,000 bnshels of wheat which, according to officials, will be ample to meet domestic re quirements and leave a surplus for ex port. The condition of tbe corn crop waa reported not so good as a year ago, but the area planted shows an in crease of 71,000 acres. Indications are that the crop will be 138,000,000 bushels smaller but 19,000,000 busbela larger than the five-year average. if i I took his automobile.
