Long Commission CO. Grain Letter.

Furnished by Long Commission Col
CHICAGO, March 24.-The extent
to which agriculture has, OF neces-
sity, been neglected abroad, and the
partial crop failure in this country in
1916 have resulted in high prices for
all products Of the soil. The pros
pect for the 1917 crop abroad Is
probably no better than that of the
last year. Winter wheat conditions
and the probability Of late seeding in
the northwest are not encouraging
for large yield of wheat this year.
ut seems fitting, therefore. to urge
upon the agricultural classes by
every possible means the necessity
of bending every effort to produce
maximum crops. While selfish in
stincts tend TO bring about this end,
it is even the patriotic duty of those
in position to put at the disposal OF
the country at this time their great.
est productive efforts.
The shortage of wheat and corn
was further reflected in higher values
today, the latter cereal making new
high record. Except for weekend
profit taking and some selling OF
corn by one of the largest holders.
the market showed no weakness, as
they are not likely to do, with the
demand exceeding the available sup
plies.
