WHEAT CROP
DAMAGED BY
HEAVY TOIL
WASHINGTON, May 10 — IJPI —
Dry weather and insects took a
toil of about 44,000,000 bushels of
winter wheat during April, raising
the threat of a tight supply of this
bread grain.
, This reduction in the prospective
crop was reported today by the
Agriculture Department. It came on
top of a 173,000,000-bushel cutback
in the official estimate a month ago.
The crop was forecast at about
682.000. 000 bushels compared with
899.000. 000 predicted last December.
That would make it the smallest
winter wheat crop since 1943.
Drougth and insects pests have
caused heavy damage to many mil
lion acres in the southern Great
Plains.
A large reserve of 410,000,000
bushels from past crops — much of
it stored under a government farm
price support program — serves as
insurance against a severe shortage.
Nevertheless, it may be necessary to
restrict exports.
The department said that, other
wise, crop prospects brightened to
ward the end of the month and in
early May.
