W ashington.—Forecast a of heavy
harvests of the country's principal
farm crops m arked the July report of
the d ep artm en t of agriculture. The
prospective yield in most Instances
Is larger th an the average production
for the five year« 1914-18.
T hroughout Juno better w eather con­
ditions Increased the prospects of the
output of every im portant crop. *vThe
im provem ent was reflected in a fore­
cast of 28,000,000 bushels more In the
combined w inter and spring wheat
crop than estim ated a mortth ago;
seven m illion bushels more oats, 8,-
000,000 bushels more barley and 2.000,-
000 bushels more rye.
The spring w heat crop is larger
than last y ear’s by 82.000,000 bushels,
but the w inter w heat crop is 114,000,-
000 bushels sm aller, although It is
only 45,000,000 less than the five-year
average production.
W heat of last year's crop rem aining
on farm s July 1 was reported as 47,-
756,000 bushels, or more th an five per
cent of the crop. That, added to thia
year's prospective production, makes
available about 856,000,000 bushels of
wheat which, according lo officials,
will be nmplo to meet domestic re­
quirem ents and leave a surplus for ex­
port. ,
The condition of the corn crop was
reported not so good as a year ago,
hut the area planted shows an In-
cr« as« of 571,’Ot)0 acres. Indications are
that th« crop will be 138,000,000
bushels sm aller but 19.000.000 bushels
