STATISTICAL SITUATION OF FLAX !:
+ 4 = !
Duluth Commercial Record.


In the two previous articles on seed
ing that have been furnished the
Northwestern press the writer has
father strongly favored the seeding of
haxseed, barley and durum wheat.
To very large extent the strong
export situation in all three Of these
grains has been the main reason for
feeling that they would prove the most
profitable crops for Northwestern
grain growers. During the past eight
months we have exported quite largely
of flaxseed, barley and durum wheat
and not very largely of either spring
or winter wheat or -four, although it
is generally conceded that the country
raised a liberal export surplus of both
winter and spring wheat.
1t is undoubtedly fact that specu-
lative influences were instrumental in
keeping our wheat markets above an
export basis and thereby keeping the
surplus in the country to be carried
into the new crop.
On the other hand the export de-
mand in the three grains mentioned
above has been good throughout the
entire year and practically every
bushel available has been cleaned up
and we shall 60 into the new year with
clean boards or nearly so.
This is especially true of faxseed
Ever since the large crop of 1902 this
country has been Juggling along large
surplus of seed, all of which has been
consumed or sold for export this year:
and the foreign situation is still very
strong. AS late as April 20 one of the
very best posted students of European
seed conditions in writing the author
said:
"The events of the past few days
have made the situation clearer and it
would appear as If this seasons sup
plies would prove lighter than expect
ed, especially from Argentine. India
also has lessened her offers and Bonn
bay advices state that this years OK
ports are not likely to exceed 100000
to 100000 bushels, compared with
100000 bushels last year."
In view of the above statements and
the fact that American supplies Of
seed have been, or will be, pretty well
cleaned up a short summary of the
European situation for two years past
and the supplies of seed in sight for
the current calendar year will prob.
ably prove interesting.
The European crop years in seed, it
should be remembered, coincide with
the calendar year and statistics are
made up from January to January
The following table shows the exports
of seed to Europe during each of the
past two years and the amount ex-
pected during the current year, as fig
ured by the best posted authorities:
