AMERICAN CROPS
THE DROUGHT MENACE SERIOUS WHEAT SHORTAGE ONLY ENOUGH FOR OWN NEEDS. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, June 10. The Weather Bureau reports that the hot dry weather which depreciated the Winter wheat crop over 25 per cent, to June 1 has since done tnore damage by prematurely developing the unfilled heads in many parts of the west, causing premature harvesting in Oklahoma, Southern Kansas, Missouri and Indiana. Widespread rainfalls over the north-west last week saved the Spring wheat crop, which was menaced with entire destruction by drought. Texas and the rest of the south-west are still faced with loss of stock and field crops, excepting cotton, due to the drought, which are continuing unabated over the great plains regions. The growing crops in the Ohio Valley and district also suffered greatly. It is now estimated that the United States has only enough wheat to supply her domestic needs.
