PROUGHT DAMAGE.

Is Estimated at One Hundred SixtyTwo Millions by the U. S, GoVernment.

‘Drought has robbed western soil of 216,000,000 bushels of wheat and the wheat farmers of $162,000,000 it was shown today by analysis of agriculture department crop reports. : The only income of many farmers this year will be AAA benefit money, paid for acreage limitation which the drought made insignificant. They have no crops to sell, A small. number of producers will benefit from the drought and consequent crop shortage, which have caused a price boom. ' ' The department revised its April winter wheat estimate down 107,000,000 bushels to 483,662,000. Early this year spring wheat land promised a yield of. 200,000,000 bushels or more. -The indicated production has dropped from 100,000,000 bushels on Junel to 89,394,000. ; , A corn _harvest of 2,113,000,000 bushels is indicated. That is only about eight per cent below normal. Oats acreage is the lowest since | 1905, chiefly because drought and lchinc_h bugs caused growers to abandon lan dthey otherwise would have have cultivated. A yield of only 17 l pushels on each of the 33.348,000 acres is indicated. :
