by David F. Houston, secretary of ag-
riculture. This record winter wheat
acreage, an increase of 18 per cent
over last year, would yield 672,000,000
bushels If the average yield for the
. past ten years is equaled, or under a
repetition of the favorable conditions
of 1914 Would give 880,000;000 bush-
els. In either case with a spring
wheat crop next year equal to that of
1915, the nation will have more than
one billion bushels of wheat for do-
mestic use and export.
1 This vastly increased production of
wheat, needed in any case, will be ab-
solutely essential to prevent a seri-
ous shortage of breadstuff3 next sum-
mer should^ the growing corn, now
behind the season, be much damaged
by early frosts.
The program approved by the sec
retary of agriculture represents the
best thought of She United States De
partment of Agriculture and state ag-
ricultural officials and state councils
of defense.
' The study of this question has in-
volved many factors and the special-
ists have been aware from the first
that the demands for wheat may ex-
ceed the supply next year. Effort
therefore has been made to recom
mend in each state about as large an
acreage in wheat and rye as can be
sown without upsetting proper farm
practice which must be maintained in
the interest of wheat and rye crops
this and succeeding years, as well as
in the interest of other necessary
spring planted crops which are not
discussed in detail at this time as they
are not food crops in which a marked
shortage exists.
I The estimates, the department
states, are made with the knowledge
that there is some shortage of the fer-
tilizer supply but with the understand-
ing that there will be n<f general short-
age in the supply of seed or of farm
machinery which is necessary in the
production of the wheat crop. It is
understood also that ampld transpor-
tation facilities will be provided and
a fair -price of wheat will -be estab-
lished. These factors have been as-
sumed as fixed and satisfactory. -If
any one or more fail to be adjusted in
good time, no person can tell how
serious will be the effect onHhe total
crop.
The planting and cultivation of
these increased acreages of fall-sown
grains calls for unusual effort on the
part of the farmers. Plans to place
at the disposal of farmers all assist-
ance possible, are being perfected In
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
the state colleges of agriculture, and
other state and local agencies which
co-operate in farming matters. The
assistance of successful growers of
wheat and rye in a campaign to turn
out bumper crops in 1918 is assured.
The state, officials will do their ut-
most to get the acreages expected of
their states Into the ground. The pro-
gram as originally worked, out by the
Federal Department of Agriculture
The figures quoted above are based
upon a winter killing of 9 per cent and
yields per acre of 15.6 bushels for win-
ter wheat and 13.2 bushels for spring
wheat, the averages for the last ten
years, and a yield per acre in 1914 of
19 bushels of winter wheat and 18.4
bushels of spring wheat in 1915.
The principal increases in acreage
of winter wheat are recommended in
the acreas where the acreage devoted |
83,635,000 bushels. This is an increase
of 917,000 acres, or 22 per cent over
that sown last year, when the largest
acreage In the history of the country
was put in. It is an increase of 48
per cent over the 1915 acreage and
of 57 per cent over the five-year (1912-
1916) average sown acreage.
In any consideration of the expan-
sion of the acreage of bread grains in

Basis of Increased Acreage.
Since the acreages sown last fall
are fresh in the memory of farmers,
the sowings for this year are compar-
ed with those of 1916. For Kansas,
where more than one-fifth of the win-
ter wheat of the country was sown in
1916 and a campaign for an increase
already is under way, an increase of
more than a million acres, or one-sev-
enth of the total increase, is recom-
rye where the present experience with
it indicates superiority.
Texas is asked for an acreage for
the fall of 1917 Of 2,000 acres; the
acreage sown in 1916 was the same.
Special Methods to Increase Yields of
Wheat and Rye. **--
Specialists of the department of ag-
riculture and the state agricultural
colleges hope that by better methods
the average yield per acre will be at
least maintained wherever there is a
fertilizer shortage and will be increas-
ed in other sections. Much education-
mended. Ohio is asked for one and, ..... . ....
, .. , . al wotk will be done to make this de-

year’s sowings. This is considered
possible and desirable by the agricul-
tural leaders of the -state. Because
of available land in the state, Oklaho-
ma is asked to increase the acreage
one-fourth, amounting to more than
800,000 acres. Indiana and Rlinois are
each asked to Increase their acreage
by somewhat more than a half million
acres, thereby equaling what they
have sown in the recent past. Oregon,
because of the abnormally low acre-
age sown last fall, is asked to in-
crease the acreage this fail by one-
quarter million acres, or 50 per cent.
These six states, Kansas, Ohio, Okla-
homa, Indiana, Illinois and Oregon, in
which nearly one-half of the winter
wheat was sown last fall, are,asked
to furnish considerably more than one-
half of the increase planned for this
fall. Their agricultural leaders think
is possible and are taking the nec-
essary steps to see that it is done.
The largest percentage increases
are requested in some of the Southern
sire an actuality, and in this campaign
the most successful growers will have
a prominent part. For instance,, it Is
stated that on the land that could be
sown to fall wheat this autumn, it Is
possible materially to increase the
yield per acre by putting into practice
some principles that are already well
known to most farmers. These should
appeal especially to those who cannot
increase their usual acreages without
doing injustice to other crops which
should be grown.
These principles may be summed up
as follows:
1— Plow early. Give the plowed
land two months to settle before- sow-
ing where possible.
2— Compact the late-plowed land
with roller and harrow.
3— Don't plow after a cultivated
crop. Prepare such land with disk
and harrow.
4— Make the seed bed a fit place for
the seed.
5— Sow with a drill, sound, plump,
clean seed of adapted variety.
6— Prevent losses from smut by
states. Mississippi leads with 455 per
cent increase and Georgia comes ne*t1 treating~ infected seed with formalde-
