VII" Va 'he crop, and with prospects, ior
Ill average crop OF winter wheat very
poor 1t is enough to warrant the main.
tehancee OF present values. and also
the prevalence of good prices for wheat
Tor the coming twelve months. How
n'gh prices will go depends on three
things speculation, crop prospects,
and the war. There will be short
crop OF winter wheat for the third con.
secutlve year The conditions are also
uncertain for as large an acreage of
spring as was expected earlier in the
season, owing to the wet weather and
the latenes of the seeding in some sec.
lions. Eigh prices, however, will
stimulate farmers in the Northwest to
get IN as large an acreage as DOS
sible. There has been good deal
OF seeding, but in the Red River valley.
where large part OF the crop is grown.
there is too much water to admit of
early seeding. Kansas gives good
promise, but change for the worse
may come. The only things that can
inJure the crop are hot winds and sand
storms. The outlook in California is
uncertain. Reports say that hot winds
have deteriorated the crop. Latest re-
ports from France and Russia are against
large crop OF winter wheat, but in the
other foreign countries there is promise
OF about an average yield. Stocks, how
ever, are low, and consumers will GO
into the new crop with less then the
usual quantity.
Greece and Turkey are not important
factors as wheat growers, the former
raising 4,S00, 900 bushels, and the lat
ter "a, 600, 600 bushels. Bulgaria, Ser
via, Roumania, and Montenegro raise
$4,000, 900 bushels. A liberal proper
ton of their crop is exported to the
continent. If Greece has navy ot
sufficient strength to prevent a free ex-
port movement of wheat from these
countries, it might make great differ
ence in the supplies of the continent.
