The acreage abandoned through unfavorable conditions of the winter amounted to only 3.1 per cent ot the area planted, an un usually low area. This makes tho area remaining to be harvested a record one of 35,SS7,000,K5 acres. Indications are that Kansas will have 6 crop of 132,000,000 bushels, or 46,600,000 bushels more than last year, and Okla homa 33.600,000, or 17,000,000 bushels more than last year.

Jess tjajbft area ' planted last autumn, but 3,6SS,00, acres more than the area harvested last year 31.U91.O00 acres. The condition on May 1 Is Indicative of a yield per acre of approximately l'.S bushels, assuming average variations to prevail thereafter. On the estimated area to ho harvested, this would pro duce a final crop of 630,000,000 bushels, compared with 623,661,000 bushels har vested In 1913, 399,919,000 bushels In 1915, 430,656,000 bushels 111 19U and m,li2,X bushels In 1910.
