WINTER CROP
PRODUCTION IN AMERICA. Washington, December 20. The Department of Agriculture stated to-day that the indications point to a 1933 winter wheat crop of less than 400,000,000 bushels compared with an estimated 462,151,000 for 1932. The area sown in winter wheat this fall is estimated at 39,902,000 acres, the smallest sown in any year since 1923. The condition on December 1 was reported as 68.9 per cent, of normal, the lowest for December 1 since the department began issuing reports in 1863. In the past, the statement continued, conditions below the average on December 1 had been followed by a more than average abandonment and below the average yields per acre.
