WHEAT AND CORN YIELDSARE LOWER Decrease is Due to Large Ex tent in Eeduction of the Acreage Planted. - GAIN IS MADE IN JUNE Washington, July 7. -Growing con ditions during June improved the prospects of the wheat and oats crops. The Department of Agricul ture in its July crop report today forecast the combined crop of winter and spring wheat at 759,000,000 battels, which- is 44,000,000 bushels more , than predicted last month, and increased the estimate of the final yield of oats to 1,317,000,000 bushels, or 62,000,000 bushels more than fore cast in June. , A slight increase in the area plant ed to corn this year was reported, and a crop of 2,866,000,000 bushels, which with favorable conditions might exceed last year's 3,055,000,000 bushel record crop, was forecast. The con dition of corn was reported as slightly better than last year on July 1, but was about 2 per cent below the ten-year average condition for July 1. Some other crops also will be smaller than they were last. year. That is due principally 'to a Reduction in acreage. Winter wheat shows a decrease of 18.6 per cent in acreage, spring wheat, a reduction of 8.2 per cent; oats less than 1 per cent; barley, an increase of 4.9 per cent, and rye, a decrease of 4.4 per cent The forecasts, in millions of bush els, Le, 000,000,'s omitted, follow: July June HIS- Fore- Fore- 1111 Itl eaeL cut Crop.
