ARMORED o The department of Washington. agriculture, It was announced July 21, has asked farmers to sow 47.otHl.0tl0 acres In winter wheat this full. This would yield approximately Go7,000,0iH) bushels the greatest winter wheat crop tn history. While the request spedfteully mentions 45.0H),lHs3 acres as Uie areu to be sown, it asks farmers If they cannot raise the total to 47.rHj,o0 acre. The latter acreage would be a 12 per cent Increase over lust yeur, and would provide abundantly for the uerls of the allied nations. When harvest time rolls around it will be known as the "liberty wheat harvest," according to the plan of the department. Officials also plun corresponding Increases In the production of spring wheat and live stock. The lust crop report forecast a 1919 harvest of 8'.K),ii.'M.0tx) bushel of winter and spring wheat. If weather conditions sre favorable the 1919 harvest of winter aud spring wheat will be well over the billion mark in bushels. From the 4j.0O0,0i0 acreage, how ever, a total of tiW.O0.tW bustieis would be raised, on the basis of an average yield of 15.7 bushels per acre and an abandonment of 10 per rent of the area sown on account of the winter kill.
