that storms, rust and pests will
cause much material difference, ex
cept in isolated cases in the Cum-
and Lebanon Valleys.
Vhe June 1 estimates of Secretary
. Agriculture Rasmussen are given
as follows:
"Weather conditions were favor
able during the month of May and
wheat still continued to improve.
The condition is estimated at 105
per cent., compared with normal,
and forecasts a yield of 21.5 bushels
per acre. On this basis, the total
production will reach 33,932,800
bushels, and will be Pennsylvania's
record crop. The yield last year was
estimated at 26,023,674 bushels.
Some damage from rust, smut and
fly is reported from scattered sec
tions, but it is believed that the in
jury will not be serious. The area
of wheat abandoned this spring was
so small that no deduction is made
in the acreage on that account.
"Rye is in splendid condition and
forecasts 103 per cent, compared
with a full crop. This indicates a
yield of 19.6 bushels per acre and a
total production of 5,379,000 bush
els. The production last year was es
timated at 4,676,500 bushels.
"Due to weather conditions, the
sowing of oats covered a long period
this year as it was begun in March
in the southern counties and was
not completed in some of the north
ern tier counties on June 1. The
area of oats is estimated at 1,133,-
717 acres, which is practically 100
per cent., compared with last year.
The condition on June 1 is 95 per
cent., compared with nor/nal and
indicates a yield of 3.42 bushels per
acre and a total production of 38,-
773,000 bushels. The crop will prob
ably be above or below these figures,
according as the change in condi
tion from now until harvest is above
or below the average condition. The
crop last year was estimated at 44,-
103,000 bushels.
"The estimated area of barley is
14,000 acres, which is the same as
last year. The condition is 97 per
cent., and indicates a yield of 407,-
