Smallest Wheat Crop In Years

wheat territory, where the condition of
the crop declined the month of july from
80 to 63.4. On the basis of the condi-
tion reported August the indicated
crop is 1es,oo0,ooo bushels, compared
with an estimate of 27O,OOO,OOO bushels
month earlier and 357,000,000 bushels
harvested in 1915.
The crop reporting board now places
the yield of winter wheat at 455,000000
bushels, decline of 200,000,000 bushels
as compared with last years. This
makes the total for all wheat 54,000O00
bushels. Last year the yield of the two
aggregated over 1,011 100000 bushels.

PACIFIC COAST WHEAT

Entirely contrary to custom, the situa-

Chicago market, keeping pace with the
advances there. The crop Of Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon is marketed at
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. What is

nth THIS years wheat crop
in the United States estimated
at about half of last years


, AA/ in the United States estimated
Wv at about half of last years
and prices of grain and flour
soaring on the exchanges, the country is
getting ready to get along on the small
lest yield since 1911, when only 621,-
$4,000 bushels were harvested. The
present crop may even fall under the
1911 figure. Late estimates, taking in
to consideration the last government es-
innate and conditions since developed,
place this years crop at 625,O0O,O0O
bushels, but some conservative men claim
this figure is too high. e.,
Canada's crop is cut down to the same
extent as that in the United States and
many grain men look for the British
government to commander the entire
yield over the border to feed the armies
of the allies, which would mean still
higher wheat and flour prices.
The nonpartisan leader., 1916-08-17

The last government estimate for the
present crop is dated August 8 and of
course deals with conditions of an even
earlier date. Since then the rust and
wilt, hail and other adverse conditions
have got worse and tend to prove that,
the government figures are considerably
too high. The following is a summary
of the government estimates:

FLOUR MILLERS SAY
SITUATION is SERIOUS

A. C. Loring, president of the Pills
bury Flour Mills company of Minneapo-
lis, said there is no doubt that the sup
ply situation is very serious.
"Flour prices necessarily will maintain
higher basis" Loring said. "Econom-
ically, the situation will somehow ad-
just itself. 1t would be impossible of
course to know what England may do, in
view of the fact that we have little or no
wheat to sell. expect the Minneapolis
industry will be able to get wheat sup
ply sufficient to keep operating"
John Washburn, president of the
Washburn- Crosby company, said:
England might take over the whole
Canadian crop. West Canada, with hard
spring wheat, would be the natural sup
ply source for the Minneapolis mills, fol-
lowing losses in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas. We could pay 10 cents bushel i'm
port duty, or could mill in bond under
the drawback plan, as was done in past
seasons of poor quality wheat on our side
of the line"

LITTLE AMERICAN WHEAT
TO BE SOLD ABROAD

The United States will have little or
no wheat to sell abroad this year, but
the export demand, of course, will large.
ly fix the prices at home. Taking the
estimate of 625,000,000 bushels for the
crop, at least 620,0OO,00O bushels of it
will be needed in the United States, leav-
ing only 100000 bushels to export.
This figuring is based on the proposition
that the country has to have at least
5.3 bushels per capita per year, with 75,-
100000 bushels required for seed in ad-
dition, making total demand at home
620,000,000 bushels. The minimum home
demand in reality is probably much big
ger than that.
The exports last year from the United
States were about 250,000,000 bushels.
The year before about 333, 900 went
abroad, while this year the export margin
will be at the most 30,O0O,0O0 bushels, if
that much. s.
The wheat shortage this year has
brought about several interesting condi-
tions and statements by millers and grain
men. The Master Baker association of
the United States last week petitioned
congress to place an embargo on all ex-
ports of American wheat, with the inten-
tion of forcing the competition of the
American supply at home entirely and
thus keeping down the price of wheat
and bread. Appeals have been made to
congressman and senators, as well as to
the federal trade commission and depart
ment of justice at Washington, D. c., to
be on guard from now on to see that
spectators and middlemen do not. exact
undue tolls and profits after the crop
has passed from the farmers into their
hands, so that the burden on the consul
mer will not be too high.
The master bakers of the country even
predicted bread prices so high as to be
prohibitiye for the poor in the big cities.
But if any such prices prevail it will be
because of the mad speculation, for the
topmost price that it can be estimated
the farmer will receive for the crop this
year would not bring about any such
condition. ':'
The nonpartisan leader., 1916-08-17

exported and prices are usually governed
by the Liverpool; bidding only. But Port
land already is getting demands for ship
ment of Pacific coast wheat eastward
and some has already been shipped. This
is most unusual condition, and it
looks as though there would be consi-.
derable movement of far western wheat
eastward, entirely contrary to precedent.
The crop of the three Pacific Northwest
states mentioned, while smaller than
usual, is not cut down to anywhere near
the extent of the crop in the rest of the
country and in Canada. It is expected
these states will produce 50,0OO,O0O bu-
shells and have 100000 bushels car
ried over from last year. These states
will therefore supply from Is to 20 per
cent less wheat than they did year ago,
while the crop in the rest of the country
is only from 40 to so per cent of what. it
was last year.
Word from Washington, D. c., says
that Chai irman E. N. Hurley of the
federal trade commission has gone to
Chicago to keep an eye on the wheat
situation. The interstate commerce COM
mission also has acted, sending instruc-
tions to all railroads in regard to moving
the crop. The usual car shortage when
the bulk of the crop starts moving is not
expected this year, because the demand
for the cars will not be great, due to the
small crop, but the commission is not
waiting for any shortage to develop be-
fore taking steps to avoid it.
