IOvER-PRODUCTION A MYTH;
PRICES WILL BE FIRM
Is there danger of overproduction?
The New York State Food Supply
commission gives this answer to this
question:
"Some farmers have feared overpro-
duction. This fear might be justified
were it not for the conditions in Eur
ope. All OF Europe is approaching
famine conditions, and there is no
chance that farmers of Europe can give
the care necessary for the production
of the best crops. Large quantities of
food are being lost at sea. The worlds
reserve of food is probably the lowest
Ia history. The grain on farms in the
United States on Ma ca was700, 100000
bushels below last year. The quantity
in elevators is much short Of last year.
The wheat crop that has just been
harvested In New Zealand, Australia
and Argentine is estimated at only 10
per cent of last years crop The win
ter wheat of the United States is in
poor condition.
''If as low yields Of grains should oc-
cur this year as occurred in 1901 con
ditions would be very serious. If we
get as good crops as IN 1912, which
were the best in twenty years. there
would be no chance of low prices for
grains"
