I Wheat Production Shows Heavy Increase Over Last Year t- Hay Also Below Average Low Condi tions In California Gov ernment Forecast Com plicates. . WASHINGTON, Juno (P) Farm leader in congrt.'na received with considerable interest today the forecast of the department of Agriculture that the winter wheat crop on the basis of June 1 indi cations showed a probable produc tion of ti22,148,00U bushels more than 4 3,000,000 buwhela Increase over last year. in view of the general concen sus that the farmer's difficulties cannot be surmounted without an orderly disposition of the surplus, the news that a further expansion of the "already substantial excess of wheat appears to be in store was regarded by many members of con gress as serving to focus attention upon the course a federal farm board would pursue in the event one is authorized in the farm relief legislation now approaching en actment. indications for fruit pro duction were declared to be substantially lower than usual for the country as a whole, although in the northern bor der territory fruits were still In bloom Junei. Low conditions, especially in California and Florida were particularly noted. The production of apples, f peaches, citrus friUs, prunes, and grapes were expected to be ' beluw the average of recent years with Indications that the apple crop would average 10 per cent less thun thatof last year. The condition of the winer wheat crop was given as 79.6 per cent of normal, compared with 73.6 per cent on June 1, 1928, and a ten year average of 78.2 per cent . The decline in reuorted condition dur- inc May Is only a little over one- hoif nr h t.n Ar nvnraze de- dine of 6.8 for the month, ac-1 counting for the increased bushel forecast. The condition of spring wheat was announced as 4H.8 per cent, nearly six points above the per- centage reported a year ago. With a reported condition of tame hav at 86.6 ner cent, com-1 pared with 76.6 for last June, hay prospects were declined rather than better than usual east of the nian umri u.tuu. Mlsslssippl and In the western i ...,ti,n-nai corn belt, averace in the soutnwesi and poorer than usual In western states. Wild hay conditions were 3 per cent lower than average but 8 per cent above June 1 of last year, Pasture conditions wore reported at 87.2 per cent, ubout equal to the ten year average. The oats condition was 82.0 as compared to "8.3 per cent a ye.ir ago and 85.2 per cent for the ten year average. The crop was re ported delayed by weather In many utates.
