A Bumper Wheat Cron

l. ARMERS OF the country have given
definite answer to the declarations made
on the floor of Congress TO the effect that
a wheat famine would result in this country
if the government failed to establish $3.50
price for this vita! product Reports have
been made by the Department of Agriculture
and by the United States Chamber of Com
merce which show that this years wheat pro-
duction, with moderately favorable weather
will exceed that of last year by wide
margin.
Indications on May pointed to a winter
wheat crop of approximately COO. 100000
bushels. The Department of Agriculture.
which is always conservative in its esti-
mates. places the possible yield at more
than 572,000.0O0. The Chamber of Com
u erce, from independent reports, places it at
about 650,000,000. Neither OF these esti-
mates takes in account the production of
spring wheat of which a far greater acreage
was sown this year than last, and will in
crease the total yield to point l,000.-
100000 bushels.
If these hopes realized, America will
be in stronger position from food stand
point than in any year since 1907, when all
wheat records were broken. Last years corn
crop was the greatest this or any other coun-
try ever raised. In fact, it was an ever
production Millions of bushels have not yet
been marketed and the government is work
ing fcvershly to save to the world as much
Of the old crop as drying machinery will
save
1t is probable that the new corn crop will
be somewhat smaller than that Of last year
Many corn farmers known to have re-
duced their acreage this year, some OF them
putting their land in wheat. Important as
is corn, wheat is more necessary to the coun-
try and to its allies 1t is the basis of food
production. J. forms n necessary part Of the
diet OF all the armies IL the field, we'll Us
ali civilian peoples. That is the reason why
the government fixed the price OF wheat 1T
/ 20 a bushcl, a Price which gives the
grover fair return and assures him in
advance that he cannot lose on his crop
The present wheat crop of the country will
be supplemented by enormous inportations
from Australia. The Australian product
which formerly went to England, cannot now
be delivered TO British markets because of
war hazards It has, therefore, been diverted

Pacific coast will release a bushel on the
Atlantic coast for shipment TO Europe In
spite OF farm labor conditions and a winter
