A M E RIG AN SUPPLY
by L.. L.. RIDDEN.


a few days ago the Wall Street
Journal printed quite an exhaustive
article dealing with the matter of
sense and nonsense about the whcat
situation which has filled the papers
for So many weeks. The conclusions
arrived at appear to be fully justified.
The whole question is simply one OF
supply and demand. The countries or
Eastern Europe. even in normal times,
do not raise anything like enough to
supply domestic needs. Wheat is
shipped into England, France. Italy
and the northern countries from Rus
STA, Argentine. Australia and India, in
addition to what is imported from the
United States and Canada.
Tha European wheat crop this past
year fell 200,000,000 to 800, 200. 90
bushels below the average crop of the
last few years Australia Is short so,
600, 900 bushels. Argentine Is 80
100000 less than the previous year.
Fortunately for the world at large
the United States produced some u.s.
100000 bushels more than she raised
the year before.
The Russian supply, which is placed
at 2T5. 1000, 900 bushels. is tied up by
the blockading of the Dardanelies.
Australia, which usually exports So
100000 bushels, must this year inn
port some 30,000,0e0. This must be
supplied by India anu our own West
ern coast-California. Oregon and
Washington.
Canadian supplies are practically
exhausted. OF our own crop of 935.
100000 bushels, including the carry
over of 100000 bushels. 500, 900.
600 bushels is required for our do
mestic consumption and for seeding,
leaving an exportahle surplus of APP
proximately 335.0O0,000 bushels. OF
this surplus over 2ou.0oo,00o bushels
have already been sent away. This
leaves 25,o00.000 bushels available
or something like 100000 per week
tor the sixteen weeks which stand be-
tween this and the time OF harvesting
the next crop.
Argentine ard India are now ship
ping heavily, and their supplies will
soon be exhausted. The world must
then come 20 America for its sup
plies unless the Dardanelles Is opened
to traffic and the Russian supplies
made available That is why the re-
ported destruction of the forts at the
entrance to Dardanelles caused the
drop of ten cents in wheat on Fri
day.
! Ii the Allies succeed in forcing this
waterway into the Black Sea and re-
leasing the supply Of wheat tied up
there then our wheat will not be in
such great demand. II they do not
then the American wheat will sell at
fabulous prices before our next har-
vest. Warning countries do not stand
ON the price when they want thing.
The price OF Sl.50. Si,75 or $500 per
bushel Is a matter of little conse :
quence to them when they wan. il
