Agriculture Department Officials
Forecast. Enormous Crop
of Wheat. ~.
PRICE IS GUARANTEED
Government 10 Obligated to Pay Dr.
ference Between the Fixed Price
Of $2.26 Per 6usheI and
World Market Figures.

Washington, April 1O.-The depart
ment OF agriculture's forecast that the
nations winter wheat crop would total
$4,000, 900 bushels, The biggest crop
ever grown. aroused immediate specu'
lation az to the cost to the govern
ment of such a yield. g
Under the bill passed by congress.
the government is obligated to pay the
difference between the guaranteed
price of 1926 bushel and the world
market price for every bushel Of WIN
ter and spring wheat produced.
The total value of the winter wheat
crop on the basis of an S37.000,0O0-
bushel crop forecast would be $780,
100000. The spring wheat crop can
not be estimated at this time but de-
partment of agriculture officials today
,predictediit would range between 1885,
100000 and 3O0.O00.OOO bushels. which
would increase the total value of the
nations wheat crop to approximately
two and a half billion dollars.
Refuse to Make Prediction.
The part Of this two and half bill
lion dollars that the government must
pay to maintain the guaranteed price
was q matter upon which officials here
declined to comment. 1t was said that
the factors influencing the world mar
iket price were too numerous to make
any prediction. The Department Of
Agriculture has no information as to
estimated wheat production in the
other wheat-growing countries.
Officials believe there will be good
foreign demand for American wheat
which will take care Of the nations
surplus and while the loss to the gov.
eminent through its price guarantee
may run into the millions of dollars, it
simply will be taking money from one
pocket and putting it into another.
Officials believe the forecast indicates
farmers will be more prosperous and
possess greater potential buying power
than ever before. The enormous sums
farmers will receive for their wheat,
it was said. should find its way back
quickly into circulation, thus adding
to the general prosperity of the nation.
Greatest Surplus In History.
The forecast indicated that America
will have q greater surplus than ever
before. The United States requires
for its own yearly consumption about
So bushels Of wheat for each person.
With approximately 100000 peo-
pie in the United States and approx.
mately 76.000.0OO bushels of wheat
which IL necessary for feeding pur-
poses, the demands of this country
this year are estimated at more than
$50 1000, 900 bushels.
