CROP PROSPECTS
AMERICAN ESTIMATES Press Association —By Telegraph- -Copyright WASHINGTON, March 25. (Received March 26, at 1.30 p.m.) United Stales farmers are planting about the usual crop acreage for 1929, according to a report on their planting intentions issued by the Department of Agriculture. The acreage of fallsown'wheat and rye, early_ planted crops, and meadows now standing, combined with the intended acreages of the spring sown crops, indicates a total acreage for the principal crops (excepting cotton) of 1.9 per cent, more than the combined acreage of the same crops grown in 1928. The contemplated increase is the largest in the Ohio Valley States, where the'acreages were reduced last year by the winter killing of wheat and unfavourable spring planting weather. — Australian Press Association.
