WHEAT RETURNS
AMERICAN CROPS. The United States winter wheat crop is estimated at 441,000,000 bushels, based on conditions on June 1. The spring wheat crop is estimated at 230,000,000 bushels. The estimated combined winter and spring crop, 671,000,000 bushels, is 175.000,000 bushels more than in 1934. In 1933 the combined crop was 529,000,000 bushels, while the average for the last 10 years is 828,000,000 bushels. The improved yield is attributed to favourable weather conditions over most of the hard red winter wheat area, and a slight improvement in the minor producing areas of the east, although drought conditions caused considerable damage.
