2,046,000 acres for harvest as com
pared to ' the record acreage of
JOOQacres harvested last year.
"Rye made a slight improvement,
the present condition being 93 per
cent, indicating a crop of 5,771.000
bushels as compared to 6,650,000
bushels last year.
Tame Hay Improves.
"There is an increase of 2 per
cent in the acreage of tame hay.
Wild hay acreage is reported to be
the same as a year ago. The aver
age condition of all hay is 95 per
cent. With the abundant moisture,
the prospects for large crop of
wild hay are very good at present.
About 14 per cent of last year's crop
of all hay is still on farms. How
ever, some localities report a short
age. The condition of pasture is 85
per cent, growth being retarded by
cool weather.
"About 42 per cent of the plow
ing is completed as compared to 55
per cent a year ago and 63 per cent
the 10-year average. Spring plant
ing is 35 per cent completed as com
pared to 40 per cent a year ago.
Live Stock Mortality High.
"The mortality of live stock dur
ing the pastyear was considerable
higher than usual. Th8 weather of
the past month was very severe on
all stock, particularly young stock.
Losses have been unusually , heavy
especially those caused by exposure,
Indications point toward a short pig
crop, due not only to a decrease in
number of brood sows, but also to
the high mortality of pigs during
the past month. The condition of
health of live stock although quite
satisfactory is still below the aver
age condition for this time. ,
"Estimates for the United States
are as follows: Winter wheat condi
tion 711 per cent compared to ,75.6
per cent last month and forecasting
434.647,000 bushels as compared to
731.636.000 bushels last year. About
11.9 per cent of the winter wheat
crop will te abandoned, leaving 34,
165,000 acres for harvest as compared-to
49,905,000 acres harvested
last vear. Condition of rye, 8$.l per
cent "indicating 79.789.000 bushels as
compared to 88.478,000 bushels last
year. Stocks of all hay on farms to
tal 11.377,000 tons compared with
8,493,000 tons a year ago. Plowing
is 60.1 per cent completed compared
to 72.7 per cent this time last year
and planting 50.2 per cent completed
compared to 61 per cent a year ago.
The losses of live stock were con
siderable larger than a year ago."
