SMALLER ACREAGE IN WHEAT REPORTED Washington.—Smaller acreages were planted to winter wheat and rye last fall as compared with a year ago, the department of agriculture reported.

This year’s crop of winter wheat amounted to 580,513,000 bushels and the fall acreage reduction would amount to almost 18,500,000 bushels in production based on the 1@year av- erage yield. Kansas, the leading producer of win- ter wheat, planted 2 per cent less area than last year, Ohio 9 per cent, In- diana 10 per cent, Illinois 5 per cent and Nebraska 2 per cent. Texas increased its acreage 40 per cent and Washington 7 per cent.

IN HOME 1S LAWFUL Washington. —Use of cider in the home by its manufacturer, even after it has become intoxicating, is lawful and without the bounds of the prohibi tion enforcement act, according to an opinion submitted to the secretary of the treasury by Attorney - General Palmer. The opinion is in conflict with the regulations of the bureau of internal revenue, which state home-made cider must be “non-intoxicating in fact, al- than one-half of one per ceat of alco hol” Secretary Houston asked for an opinion as to whether the term “non intoxicating cider and fruit juices” means non-intoxicating in fact or con taining less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. The phrase occurs in section 29 of the prohibition act, which permits manufacture of non-intoxicat- ing cider for use in the home without &@ permit.
