WHEAT SITUATION
NOT DISCOURAGlNG

Chicago, June 1s.-N w. Murray,
statistician of the bureau of crop
estimates of thu department OF aSri-
culture, in a statement today said the
important worlds wheat situation can
not be regarded as particularly dis
couraging He draws attention to the
fact that we are nearing the close OF
the crop season of 1915 with low re-
serves and with only moderate pros
poets for the coming crop.
The United Kingdom. which Is
the largest wheat importer, has only
fair prospects. She produces only
about one fourth OF her needs. Under
normal conditions she requires about
230, 600 600 bushels from exporting
countries and she could to advantage
use this much during the coming sea-
son. No information Is available as
to present stocks In England, as such
news Is censored France can read
lily absorb 10000. 600 bushels OF for
eign wheat during the coming year II
1t were available. Italy will want ST.
600, 900 bushels. The other European
importing countries prospects for the
coming crop are not better than
average, and their demand during the
coming year may be expected 70 be
equal TO or greater than their normal
demand. So long as the @Dardanelles
are closed the Russian wheat supplies
that country cannot aid the allies.

worth OF Liberty Bonds, this being
the first meeting at which this sub
lject could be brought up. Also, the

ton are to be called into some branch
of the country's service, Il was decided
to relieve all such members from the
payment OF dues in the lodge as soon
as they leave to enter the war. Charles
