Washington, April 9.—Winter dealt il severe blow to the wheat crop sown last fall. As a result, production in dications are smaller than in any year since 1917 and about 116.P00.IHH) bushels less than last gear's crop, the Department of Agriculture announced today. A forecast of 471.255,000 bushels of winter wheat was issued, based on (he condition of the .crop April 1 and upon the assumption of average abandonment <T acreage and average influence on the crop until harvest time. Tiie condition of the crop April 1 was fis.7 iter cent of a normal. th< lowest in more than a a quarter cen tttry with the exception of 1917 when it was 63.1. There was a decline of 12.3 points in the condition frmji De cember 1 to'April I compared w ith an average decline of 4.4 points in the Inst 10 years. The low condition is the result of a variety of conditions throughout the country, th*- department said. The crop suffered severely from wintei killing from central Ohio to central Indiana, in Montana, in the main wheat areas of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and tiie Pacific northwest. The freeze in eastern Washington and Oregon caused heavy loss, tiie condition in Washington, April J, being only 2,s per cent of nor mal. Drouth aggravated the damage in the plains region from Nebraska to Texas and high winds added to the damage. In Kentucky and Tennessee, tne crop it tiie winter's close was i'l poor condition due to freezing and drouth. Jn the Atlantic seaboard states and from Minnesota to Arkan sas, the condition of tiie crop was about average and in Illinois was above average.

In 1917, w lieu the crop suffered similar severe Carnage. 38.359,000 acres were planted, of which more than 11.000.000 were abandoned.

Yes, sir, Peter ought *o know, lie has had a lot of experience along that line, lie is one of those people who are for ever fooling themselves ami v^t-v few others, lie is one of those who guess at a thing and then guess that that guess is right, ami end up by actually believing that the thing Is so. As Peter hurried along. Upperty Upper!y-lip, through the Green Forest "?!ul it is true, for I saw if with my ow II PJM." there wasn't a shadow of a doubt In his mind that lie knew exactly how Thunderer the Grouse did his drum ming and made that noise that sounded so like distant thunder, lie suspected that his big cousin, Jumper llio Hare, knew, but there was just a chance that lie didn't know. Whether lie did or didn't really didn't matter, for anyway Peter would have a chance to show off his own knowledge, and this he dearly loves to do. So at last when he found Juniper | ihe liar* dosing in his form he could hardh watt to exchange greetings. As Soon as these were over he cried: “I kn»nv now how Thunderer the Broil sc drums. "Is that so.*" ifphcd .lumper, blink ing sleepily. * "Yes,” cried Peter. "He docs it with his wings, and this is the way he makes nil that noise we hear. "My. toy. what tough sides he must have!” cried Jumper. "He must have the toughest sides of any one I know of. It makes me ache just to think of »u« h a beating. What do you sup pose his sides are made of?" For the first time Peter suspected that perhaps his big cousin was mak ing fun of him. But Jumper's face was quite sober as he continued. "Yes. sir. it would take tough sides to stand such a heating as that, and | so many times a day. How did you j discover it. Peter?" "By watching." implied Peter. "I | was where I could see just w hal Thunderer did. He lifted his wings up and then brought them down against his sides, and each time he did it there was a boom. So 1 knew then that Thunderer drums hv heat ing hts sides with Ills at out wings." "And you didn't once wonder how his sides could stand flitch a thump ing?" asked Jumper. "No," confessed Peter. "No. J ;didn't think of it. But, now you men tion it. it is surprising how his sides lean stand it." "You mean it would he surprising ! if it were true." retorted Jumper. "But it is true, for I saw it with by own eyes," insisted Peter. "No." replied Jumper. "No, Peter. You think you saw it. You didn't see what you think you saw, for it didn't happen. Thunderer the Grouse doesn’t beat his sides with his wings any more titan he beats a hollow log with them. HI* sides are not his drum. -\i least they ore not in the way you think they are. Go ask him if what I say isn’t true. ’ INvir IVter. It was quite upsetting.
