CROP FOR 1920
Total Production for Year
Estimated at 160,000,000
Bushels Less Than
That of 1919.
Washington, June 8. Despite an
improvement of 19,000,000 bushels in
the winter crop during May and an
indicated spring crop 08,000,000
bushels greater than that of last
year, the total wheat production
for 1920 was estimated today by the
Department of Agriculture at only
781,000,000 bushels, or 160,000.000
bushels less than the total for 1919
From its condition June 1, the
spring crop was estimated at 277,
000,000 or 18,000,000 more than the
five-year average. A total winter
wheat production of 504.000,000
bushels was forecast. This is 228,
000,000 bushels less than that of last
year and 59,000.000 bushels below
the average for the five years ending
in 1918.
All told, the present outlook is
considerably better than could rea
sonably have been hoped earlier,"
aid the department announcement.
"While almost a fifth less than the
great crop of last year, it is only
about a twentieth less than the aver
age crop of the five years, 1914 to
1918, which it.cluded the three larg
est croos in our history, excepting
The department said that while the
Hessian fly was present from North
Carolina to Kansas, no very serious
damage had been reported. Some
rust, not serious, was reported in the
southern central belt. The late spring;
and low temperatures were blamed
for the slow development of the
plant and it was said that there was
possibility of a repetition of the
grasshopper damage of last year in
the Dakotas.
Simultaneously with the depart
ment's announcement of its produc
tion foi-ecast, a. committee represent
ing farm organizations presented a
memorial at the White House calling
Isidcnt Wilson's attention to what
was described as "the critical, situa
tion existing on the farm and the
resulting nenace to the nation's food
supply."
The memorial said that lack of
farm labor had cut down production
one-third in some sections and that
many millions of acres of land were
being "uncropped." The wheat crop,
the memorial said, was reported
nearly 300,000,000 bushels short and
the late spring had seriously affected
the corn crop.
