WASHINGTON, May 11.—The monthiy crop bulletin issued by the Agricultural Department to-day says: Returns to the statistician of the Department of Agriculture, made up to May 1, show the ares under winter wheat in cuitivation that date to have been about 33,107,000 acres. This ig 964,000 acres, or 2.8 per lcent, less than the area sown last fall and 4,325,000, or 15.% per cent in excess of the area of win- ter wheat harvested last year. The percentage of abandoned acreage in all the important winter wheat growing States is unusually small, including the area to be cut for_hay, reaching 100.000 acres only in Kansas, Texas and California. For the area remaining under cultivation the average condition May 1 was 92.6, against a condition of 97.3 for the total area sown re- ported April 1, 1903, and 76.4 on May 1, 1902, 94.1 at the corresponding date in 1901 and the mean of the averages for the last ten years for the areas remaining under cultivation on May ). While there has manifestedly been some_deterioration of condition the month, gpecial field agents, dispatched to the principal winter wheat States on the occur- rence of frost of April 30 and May 1, report the wheat crop as practically uninjured by the coid snap. The following table shows for the priocipas States the averages of condition on May 1. corresponding averages one year ago, and the mean of the corresponding averages for the last ten years: 4 o alE ELE EPEEFT A - BRvEguenBL
