EVERY PRINCIPAL CROPS DECREASED, REPORT INDICATES

The condition of the -wheat and rye crops in the state and the United States show a heavy decrease compared with last year, according to the monthly report of the co-operativ crop reporting service for Indkma, issued today. The acreage of wheat is one of the smallest ever left for harvest and the condition is the lowest in many years. The hay acreage remains about the same as last year and live stock mortality and condition is about as usual. The report follows: Of the 1,960,000 acres of wheat seeded last fall in Indiana approximately 255,000 acres have been abandoned. This is considerably greater

than usual on such a small acreage and is due principally to the ravages of the Hessian fly. A severe winter and ice storms this spring also did considerable damage. The condition of the remaining acreage was C5 per cent of normal on May 1, and indicates a crop of 21.611,000 bushels. For the United States the amount left for harvest is 34,165,000 acres, which shows an abandory ment of 11.9 pe.r cent. The condition figures is 79.1 per cent of normal and indicates a total production of 484,047,000 bushels compared with 731,636,000 bushels last year. April weather conditions were almost ideal, for bringing out the crop, in all sections of the country. The spring crop of Hessian fly has not yet made its apnearance and the harvest will depend very materially on the damage that will be done by this pest. Indications now point to a small acreage of spring wheat in the northwest. Rye Also Cut Down. The rye acreage for grain this year amounts to 342,000 acres compared with 380,000 acres last year. The condition May 1 was S3 per cent of normal

compared with 80 per cent April 1 and '

x per cent on May 1. last year. The condition figures for May 1 indicate a 1otaI production of 4,822,000 bushels for Indiana. Acreage figures for the United States are 77.4 per cent of last year and amount to 5,467,000- acres. The condition is 85.1 per cent of normal from which a total production of 79,789,000 bushels is forecasted. Last year's production amounted to SS.47S,000 bushels. The tame hay acreage for Indiana remains practically the same as last year, 2,200,000 acres, but wild hay shows a decrease of about 4,000 acres, leaving 50,000 acres for harvest.
