Wheat Prospects and Acreage Rise in Wheat Area
The acting Government Statistician reports total wheat area this year at 2,220,900 acres, up 160,000 from last year. Increases occur in Central western slope 40,000 acres, central western plain 35,000, south western slope 34,000, Riverina 33,000, north western slope 17,000.

Districts show a 34,000 acre rise, and about twenty million bushels may be harvested, weather permitting.
