SURPLUS IN WHEAT
ONLY 100000
BUSHELS---HOOVER
Tells Grain Men Fifty Per
Cent. of the Mill Output
Goes to the Allies.

Herbert Hoover, National Food Ad-
addressing 500 represen-
tatives OF the grain trade here to-day,
declared that the wheat surplus in
the United States from the 1917 crop
was only 2O.OOO,OOO bushels, and that
80 per cent OF the mill output is being
shipped TO the Allies.
Consumers in the United States,
Hoover said, have paid an unneces-
sary speculation and milling profit of
100000 900 for the 1916 wheat crop,
because Of the unsettled condition OF
the market then, in the absence OF
government control.
Hoover estimated the 1918 crop at
between Soo,OOO,0o0 and 9OO,ooo,oOo
bushels. compared with 62o.o00,ooO
last year. The price to the farmer.
he said, would be S2.2O a bushel for
No. / Northern, at base markets. but
that this guarantee would not go 20
buyers and dealers, as generally be-
licved.
Mr.. Hoover expressed the hope that
a maximum price for wheat would
not be necessary this year, but said
the Government would take over any
commodity that conditions might In
dicate desirable.
Telling how he fixed the price OF
wheat Mr.. Hoover In part said;
I'm making the prices for 1913 did
not think that any one man should fix
/ this, and so persuaded the President
10 appoint eleven men, six of whom are
farmers, and these men have this prob
lem in hand. Under normal conditions
we export under per cent OF our
wheat supply. but under these war
conditions we are exporting over per
! cent
Il recollect no finer patriotism or sac
rlfice than that shown by tho co-opera-
| ton and advice OF the grain men OF tho
| country with the Federal Food Admin
| lstration."
