The article focuses on the winter wheat crop report by the U.S. government which estimates the production and losses. The report states that the 646,000,000 bushels foreshadowed, an increase of 168,000,000 bushels over their yield in 1917. The condition named for winter wheat, which is 15 and 0.25 percent, above that of a year ago, fulfils expectations of the trade; though the estimated yield is slightly below what had been looked for. That would suggest the possibility of a yield much larger than the estimate, if favorable weather conditions should prevail, and an abundant supply of moisture, between now and harvest.
