Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agricultural Situation, Vol. 14: A Brief Summary of Economic Conditions; November 1, 1930 Reported yields of spring Wheat on October 1 showed little change from earlier prospects other than a small per cent increase in produc tion of durum and indicate a crop of bushels of durum and bushels of other spring wheat, making a total of 000 bushels of all spring wheat. The production of durum wheat is practically the same as produc tion last year, but it is bushels, or about 24 per cent, less than the average of the previous five years, due Wholly to a smaller acreage in North Dakota. The crop of other spring wheat is about bushels greater than the crop of last year but bushels less than the 5-year average. The cr0p of spring wheat other than durum is smaller than usual in North Dakota and much smaller in Montana owing to drought conditions, while it is somewhat larger than usual in South Dakota and Washington. The durum wheat yield of 12 bushels per acre is above the bushels secured in 1929 but below the 10-year average yield of bushels. The yield of other spring wheat, reported at bushels per acre, is also. Above last year's yield of bushels. The quality of the durum wheat this year is reported at per cent, or a few points poorer than usual and much poorer than last year. Other spring wheat shows a quality of or a shade better than average, but it also is 2 per cent poorer than last year. The total crop of wheat, spring and winter types combined, is now estimated at bushels which is bushels greater than the crop of 1929 but only bushels above the previous 5-year average and bushels below the big crop of 1928.
