No Bread Famine In United States
This Year.

Washington, ID. G. September 3
There will be no bread famine in
the United States this year. The
largest wheat crop in history has
Just been harvested and according
to the United States Department OF
Agriculture, the total production is
Approximately Oil 900, 900 bushels
nearly 150,000,000 bushels more
than any previous crop produced in
the United States. We have at least
$50, 100000 bushels Of wheat which
are not needed for consumption at
home or for seed. The surplus pro.
duction of the United States usually
goes to Europe, bnt under present
conditions, caused by the European
war, this cereal connot cross the
ocean. About 100000 bushels
have already been taken fort export
but most of it is being held at the
ports Of departure.
Conditions across the water are
not so encouraging. War in Europe
tends to prevent the shipment of
wheat from surplus European coun-
tries to those which need imports
for example-from Russia to France
and famine there seems newt
able.
