WHEAT CROP POOR.
Agricultural Expert Says Government
Control and Beer Responsible.

Agricultural Expert Says Government
Control and Beer Responsible.
BY Associated Press.
London, Sept. 1S.-With bread SELL
ing at % cents a loaf and soon to be
raised to 80 and later perhaps to So
cents, England Is harvesting this
season the smallest wheat crop since
the early days Of the war. Produc-
ton Of barley. on the other hand, will
show a material increase over that
of the last few years.
The reasons for this state Of af-
fairs, according to Professor James
pert are government control and
beer. The price of wheat and oats is
regulated. but no restrictions have
been placed on that of barley. AS
the market price Of barley is excep-
tionally high, farmers planted that
grain instead Of wheat and oats.
Professor Long shows that since
1918 wheat has been reduced by
$4,000 acres. or more than one-third
Of the present area, while oats, also
an important bread stuff, have fallen
off by $4,000 acres. "On the basis of
wheat" he says. this means a loss
Of bread grain equal to some $4,000
900 bushels. or sufficient to feed T.
100000 persons. 1t is a curious COM
mentary on the fact that the barley
| crop has considerably increased, and
that IN consequence beer has SO far
occupied the position of bread"
The country has fewer cattle than
in any year since 1903 and 5,S0,Ooo
less sheep than the average Of the
ten years from 1904 to 1913. The
decrease in cattle since last year is
more than 100000 head.
