Largest Wheat Crop Is Forecast
Wintet Grain Condition 99 8 Per Cent, and Guaranteed Value
Near Two Billion Dollari
The condition of winter wheat in the United States April 1 was 99.8
per cent., the highest on record, on the largest acreage ever planted in this
country, the department of agriculture announced.
The winter wheat promise on April 1 of 837,000,000 bushels is nearly
double the yearly average production in the United States for the five
years before the war (442,000,000 in 1909-13) and is nearly 50 per cent
larger than the production during the war years 1914-18, when the average
was 508,000,000.
At the government's guaranteed price of a bushel, the estimated
value of the crop is $1,891,620,000. I
The condition improved during the winter, an unusual occurrence
due to the very favorable winter weather, particularly the absence of al- |
ternate freezing and thawing, which appears also to have resulted in a |
minimum of winter killing. i
"A striking feature of the present situation," the announcement
stated, "is a uniformly good condition in practically all important wheat- |
producing states, ranging from 101 in Ohio down to 90 in North Carolina, !
among ti/e stales hav ing 1,000,000 acres or more.
"The lowest figure reported from any stale is 89 in Wisconsin. Kan- !
sas with approximately 11,000,000 out of the United States' tola! of 49,- I
000,000 acres, shows a condition of 101. The present moisture conditions
throughout the entire country, with unimportant local exceptions, are very
favorable, it was stated.
The condition of the crop is higher than has been reported on April
1 since 1H82, and the indicated yield is higher than any actual yield in
any year, with the exception of 1914, when the yield per acre was 18.5
bushels per planted acre, following ai April 1 condition of 95.0.
The average condition of winter wheat on April 1 was 99.8 per cent
of a normal, against 78.0 on April 1, 1918; 03.4 on April 1, 1917, and
82.3, the average condition for the past ten years on April 1. There was
a decrease in condition from December 1, 1918, to April 1, 1919. of 1.2
per cent as compared with an average decline in the past ten years of 5.9
points between those dates.
The average condition of rye on April 1 was 90.6 per cent of a nor-
mal, against 8.r>.8 on April 1, 19IS; 80.0 on April 1, 1917, and 88.0 the
average condition for the past ten 3cars, en A^iril 1.

The great cities are swarming with

and is called the "chromosphere."

Human blood, it has been discovered
may be preserved for several weeks
—a month represents about the limit
of time—and used when needed. War
surgeons found, for instance, that the
improvement of patients was equally
marked when they were supplied with
blood that had been kept three weeks
or more, as when "fresh" blood was
used. The importance of the latest
technical change in this operation is
almost obvious. It lies chiefly in the
advantage of having a stock of blood

TEETII \ND in G11 N K.
Matters of general public interest
have been under discussion at the an-
nual convention of the Misosuri State
Dental Association in this city. Take,
for example, the statement of the St.
Louis superintendent of schools. Dr.
John W. Withers, that of the 10,000
children who die yearly in Missouri a
majority are victims of diseases caused
by neglect of the mouth. A fact so
startling should evidently receive at-
tention and lead to action. Dr. With-
ers' theme was the educational value
of dental clinics already established in
a few of the Sr. Louis schools, and
with such favorable results that the
work should be put on a systematic
basis in all the schools. All who take
competent medical advice as occasion
arises are aware that the examination
of the teeth has increased in import-
ance. This has become one of the fun-
damentals in the science of diagnosis.
The time to begin is with the child in
the formative years. Few youths on
reaching their majority have teeth in
as good condition as could have been
secured by foresight and steadily
maintained intelligent treatment.
Health .comfort and personal appear-
ance are involved. -In a word the full
efficiency of every individual is at
stake.
American dentists in all parts of the
world are esteemed the best. Thsy
have been undeniably foremost In in-
vention as well as in improved pro-
cesses. It would not be in keeping
with this position if American children
are allowed to grow up without the
full benflt of exceptionally high abil-
ity in hygienic practice. It is fequent-
ly sent f°r in foreign countries, and
should not be slighted when available
at our own doors.
