fully the most optimistio, hopes for the

greater crop per acre than in any
year, since 1914.
Preparations for springr seeding.- are
well jmder way and it to probable the
acreage will exceed-that -of last spring
by nearly one million. There is an
equal increase in the acreage of win
ter wheat over 1917.
