FAILURE OF OLIVE CROP
GOOD THING FOR AMERICA
Last year the European olive crop
failed. The devout Moslems of Tur.

oil to be had. They bought cotton

like 1t better than olive oil and they

not.

price was . little under 10 cents a
pound and It's total value a little
more than $578,000,00 The indi-
Gated crop this year, according to the
governments experts reports. will be
at least 100000 bales. It Is likely
from the present outlook that this
crop will be marketed at not less than
Is cents pound, $50 a bale, $3.50, 000.-
000-over 5000, 100000 more than last
year with but small increase in the
yield.
The wheat crop this year will be
at least 663.000,00O bushels, and ex-
perts say that it is not likely to fall
below $110 a bushel for a Tong time
to come. That means $729, 000, 900
worth of wheat will soon be on the
way to the elevators. Last years
harvest was 100000 bushels. and
1t brought $500. 900. so the Amerf-
can wheat farmer will have sos, 000,-
900 more to spend from that source
than he did the year before.
The reason wheat is worth more
than a dollar bushel, which used
to be price that the farmers dreamed
of, Is not because the crop In this
country is especially short. 1t Is but
a little below the record crop Of 1906.
But there has been shortage In the
wheat crop all over the world for
