“The first steward died in the boat

WASHINGTON, May 7.—~The crop
reporting board of the Department of
Agriculture to-day estimated that on
May 1 the area of winter wheat to be
harvested was about 35,387,000 acres,
or 3.1 per cent (1,119,000 acres) less
than the area planted last autumn,
but 11.6 per cent (3,688,000 acres)
more than the area harvested last
vear, viz., 31,699,000 acres.
The average condition of winter
wheat on May 1 was 959, compared
with 65.6 on April 1; 919 on May Y,
1913, and 85.5, the average for the
past ten years on May 1.
i A condition of 85.8 per cent on May
1 is indicative of a yisld per acre of
approximately 17.8 bushels, assuming
average variations to prevall there
after. On the estimated area to be
harvested 17.8 bushels per acre would
produce 630,000,000 bushels, or 20.3
per cent more than in 1913, 5756 per
cent more than in 1912 and 46.3 per
ocent more than in 1911
The outturn of the crop probably
will be above or below the figures
given above, according as the condi
tion in harvest is above or below the
average change.
