Outlook for Texas
Grain Crops
COLLEGE STATION, Apr. 2ft—
Unless conditions grow worse,
Texas farmers in 1946 should pro-
duce the third largest wheat crop
in the state's history. Based upon
April I conditiona, the Crop Re-
porting Board of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture forecast
a yield of 69,940,000 bushels, ac-
cording to a statement released by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics at Austin. If this yield is
realised it will come from the larg-
est acreage ever seeded in Texas.
The BAE statement points out,
however, that final wheat harvest
is dependent largely upon the state
of the weather during April and
May. In the important northwest
wheat area, timely rains and snow
provided sufficient surface moisture
to bring the crop through the win-
ter and early spring months with
light losses of acreage. Notwith-
standing, total rainfall for the sea-
son is below normal and subsoil
moisture Is deficient. Meanwhile,
good general rains sre needed to
prevent further loss in acreage and
yield.
In other wheat areas, however,
rainfall generally had been ade-
quate and the crop to April 1 had
made good progress. Infestation of
greenbugs have been reported in
many areas, but the damage from
this insect had aot been excessive.
Assuming that current growing
conditions continue, or improve,
the yield forecast would be exceed-
ed only by the record crop of 1944
and that of 1M1.
The BAE statement said that
the prospective yield per seeded
acre at 10 bushels is 1.9 bushels
.above the seeded yield from the
1945 crop and 1J bushels above the
10-year (1986-44) average of 8.2
bushels.
Continuing, the statement said
that for the state as a whole, the
reported condition of other winter
grain crops are average or better
than average, but these crops in
the northwest area also need addi-
tional moisture to prevent losses
in yield and acreage. An eight per
cent reduction in com acreage com-
pared with 1946 is indicated by
prospective plaaMn* reporta en
Msrch 1. Most of thr corn acreage
in the important north central
areas had been seeded under fav-
orable conditions and the crop is
up to a good stand in the southern
areas. Much of the sorghum acre-
age in the earlier areas also is
up to a good stand.
