Show TO OFFSET EXPORTS , Record Wheat Crop Forecast WASHINGTON. Although wheat stocks in this country have been drained to extremely low levels by record-breaking movement of grain and flour to war-riddled European countries, prospects are that the 1947 production will be sufficient for all home needs with some to spare. It Is revealed in a department of agriculture agri-culture report The winter wheat crop Is expected to hit a record of 873.047.000 bushels while the spring wheat crop Is Indicated Indi-cated at 2(13.000.000 bushels In present pres-ent crop projects. This output, the department Indicates, Is ample to care for all nerds despite V carry over of only 140,000,000 bushels on farms as of April 1. Although exports of flour and raw grain were the primary factor In creating the low old crop stocks, high prices served as another factor in Inducing farmers to sell their grain. Feed grain officials also were unperturbed un-perturbed over reduced farm stocks of oats and barley, primarily because be-cause of a substantial Incrense in corn stocks, compared with a year aso. and the fact that the corn Is of much better quality than in 194(1. Winter wheat was seeded under favorable conditions and ample supplies sup-plies ot soil moisture in the fall of 1948 resulted In generally satisfactory satisfac-tory germination and excellent fall growth. Cold winter weather has prevented excessive early plant development, de-velopment, thus Improving yield prospects. Rye was reported planted under generally favorable conditions In the fall of 1946. Growth and development develop-ment ot the crop was said to be satisfactory in the tall and early winter because of good moisture conditions, but cold weather after mid December retarded plant growth. However, the crop has progressed satisfactorily and no unusual un-usual losses are apparent |
