Weather and Crop
News Factors on
b. Grain. Markets
Final Production Probably
Below Figures Set by Gov.

vesting Well Along.
BY cHARLs D. MIcHAELs,

.oy NdANLS II. MlCHAELS.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 10.-Weather and
crop news are the leading factors in
the grain markets at present and will
be Tor some time. The winter wheat
crop is all cut and threshing is prog
ressing with disappointing returns. It
is not believed the 574,O00,000 bush
els suggested BY the government re-
port given out Friday will be main
tanned in the final returns. The
235,000,000 bushels of spring wheat
are likely to suffer further deteriora-
tion unless cool weather and timely
rains prevail. Many traders are
friendly to the buying side on breaks
and need help from the outside.
Discussing the world crop outlook,
the Market Reporter, issued by the
government bureau of markets, says:
The worlds production and con-
sumption requirements of wheat bal
ances so nicely when the crops are
generally good that short crop in
one of the large producing countries
is regarded with apprehension by the
importers of Europe. Two short
crops among the large producers
would be matter of grave concern,
for this would mean radically higher
prices and perhaps actual scarcity,
unless the shortage should be offset
by greatly increased stocks else
where. The possibility of Russia
again becoming an exporter is not
now considered.
Because of this nice balance of
production and consumption, and
particularly since European govern
ments have ceased control over
wheat, the harvest season is being
watched as it has not been since the
signing Of the arfnistice.
"As long as the United States had
prospects for crop we'll above $780,
100000 bushels, compared with 707,-
100000 bushels last year, the import
ers of Europe are not greatly con-
cerned over India's wheat crop, but
with the winter wheat prospect in the
United States cut down more than
S0,000,000 bushels and the spring
wheat conditions reduced by heat,
drouth and rust, the importers vii!
apprehensively watch the harvest in
every country until the furthest north
crop in Canada is finally obtained

Irishn,dn Tried 1t
But His COlUs Died;
Better Luck LateLy

An Irishman decided to teach his
cows to live on saw dust, according
to an old story, but just about the
time his cows became accustomed to
the diet they all died. But up in
Wisconsin they have better luck.
Witness recent news dispatch from
the Gopher state:
Well. at last they've gone and done it,
We never thought they could,
They have camouflaged her groceries,
Now they feed OIL Betsey wood.
The cow, hitherto considered fas-
tidious animal in dining, now
munches sawdust and enjoys and
thrives on the diet, according to
students of the Wisconsin college of
agriculture.
Hydrolized wood food is being
given to cattle at the college expert
mental station and progress has
been made by cows on this diet. So
far, soft pine and other soft woods
have been used for the purpose.

Potato Growers Dependent
On Non-Irrigated Seed Stock

The large commercial potato
growers on the irrigated tracts in
the Rocky mountain region are be-
coming more dependent each year on
seed stocks raised in the non-irrigat-
de sections, according to the Idaho
crop reporting service.
At the 1921 Idaho state seed show,
Bonner county carried off first, Sec
ond and third prizes with Russets.
The 1920 Bonner county seed crop
sold for Sl75 to $3.50 per 100
pounds, and there was a call for
the seed from the irrigated sections
of Washington, Oregon, California,
Utah, Montana aud southern Idaho.

More Truth Than Poetry
TO GOLF WIDOWS

Good wives, we pray you, don't complain
And vow your going to get divorces,
Because the men you've wed remain
Past dinner time, on golfing courses.
These habits they've contracted tend
To soften marital relations,
And you'll discover in the end
Golf-widows have their compensations
That hasty word, that married look,
That bitter language that upset you,
And seemed too hard for wife to brook,
Will cease, in future days to fret you.
The oaths that sometimes shocked your ear
(The sort Of oaths we dare not mention)
The callous caddy boy will hear
And give them not the least attention.
And when your husband does return
Although perhaps you have missed him
You'll be delighted to discern
He's cleared the meanness from his system
He'll wipe the dishes, bring up coal,
Be calm, and placid and contented,
The evil that was in his soul
On cleek and brassie has been vented.
So bid them take thir clubs and play
For men, though merely human creatures,
When they~have biffed ball all day,
Have many quite redeeming features.
Please read and heed the lines we mean
To end this little warning song with:
A husband who has spent his spleen
Is easier to get along with!

Last Wheat Crop in India
Reported Far Below Normal

According to statements IN Dull
letin recently issued by the govern
ment of India the last wheat crop in
that country was affected by drouth
and other destructive influences to
such an extent that the yield fell So
per cent below normal. The average
sowing in India is about 30,0OO,0OO
acres, and the yield 350,00O,00O
bushels. India has a large popula-
ton, not less than 315,000,000 souls,
or approximately three times the
population of the United States on
a little more than half the area. Rail-
roads, are few and facilities for
transportation and distribution in
adequate. Under such conditions
shrinkage of 80 per cent in the wheat
crop may bring much distress be-
fore another crop can be harvested.

Stream of Wheat
Going to Europe
Via Galveston
Breakdown of Agriculture In
Russia Causes Many For
eign Countries to De-
pend on America.

The long continued breakdown of
agricultural production in Russia
largely accounts for the golden
stream OF middle western wheat that
is flowing to Europe at the rate Of
several million bushels monthly, ac-
cording to shipping men and grain
exporters.
Italy, Germany, Greece and other
countries which formerly depended
upon the cereals of the Ukraine now
are declared to be placing virtually
all their grain orders in the middle
western states.
Wheat is converging upon Calves
ton from nearly every grain-growing
state. One entire trainload recently
crossed the causeway from Chugwa-
ter, Wyo. Idaho, Montana, Colo
iado, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas are other states from
which growers are sending their
products toward this port in train
loads.
As many as 1000 carloads of grain
have crossed the causeway within a
period Of "a hours, according to To-
cal railway officials.
Since July |, 1920, a total OF g.
6247l3.27 bushels of wheat has been
exported through Galveston.
Italy, with 3,l54,266 bushels, was
the middle vests best customer in
May. Great Britain came next, TAX
ing a total Of 2,959,379 bushels,
while Germany was third with 1885,
66s bushels. France. which is rap
idly getting to the point where she
can feed herself, took only 205,333
bushels and Belgium l90,450 bushels.
Holland and Spain imported 100000
and 98,400 bushels, respectively.
In May Galveston led all ports Of
the United States in grain exports.
New Orleans was second with "a to-
tai of 5,082,83o bushels. Phifadel-
phia third with 2,206,795 and New
York fourth with l,94l,000, accord

Wheat Harvest,
Well Under Way;
Big Yields Rule
Corn Making Rapid Progress
But in Need of Rain
Warm Weather
Ripens Oats.

The wheat harvest in Nebraska is
almost completed, threshing having
made good headway in the south
eastern part of the state last week,
and corn is rapidly approaching the
critical period Of its growth. High
temperature has caused oats to ripen
rapidly. Potatoes, alfalfa and pas
lures show lack of moisture and the
harvest of wild hay has been started
in central Nebraska. A shortage OF
harvest hands is also shown in the
weekly report of A. E. Anderson,
federal statistician of the bureau OF
crop estimates.
Corn is making rapid progress, but
some leaves have started to curl, in
dicating lack of moisture. Some
corn has started to tassei and is now
approaching its critical period while
the crop in general is two weeks
ahead of the average, according to
the reports. July rains will deter
mine the quality of the crop.
Good Wheat Yield. :.
The bulk of the wheat crop was
harvested under ideal conditions and
probably not over IS per cent of the
crop is now left, Mr.. Anderson says.
In general, the yields are reported
best in the northern part OF the Ne
braska wheat belt and judging from
the number of shocks, the yields may
exceed expectations. Adams, Kear-
ney and Phelps counties have report
ed better yields than expected. The
Yields in the counties in southwestern
Nebraska are not reported as very
good.
Oats have ripened rapidly, due to
the high temperature, and some OF
the counties are reporting light
crop. Barley is ripening about the
same as oats and the crop is gen.
orally good. Spring wheat has de-
Perforated.
The harvest of wild hay has started
in Rock county. The harvest of the
second crop of alfalfa began in
southeastern counties last week and
much of it was very light.
Pastures Need Rain. =
Pastures in southern and eastern
Nebraska need rain and potatoes
have been injured by dry weather in
the southern part of the state. The
sudden change from abundant rain
to little moisture and high tempera-
lures caused considerable tip, burn
and the plants seem to be drying up
too rapidly. Gardens are also show
ing the effect of the dry weather.
The supply of harvest labor has
been short, particularly in the south,
where large part Of the wheat is
harvested with headers. Some of the
hands refused 81 day.

Big Increase Reported in
Exports of Dairy Products

Exports of butter and eggs for the
month of April last, showed a
decided advance over the correspond

condensed milk fell far below the
figures of year ago, with the out
going movement of cheese about the
same.
Butter exports for the month were
1,106, 500 pounds, against 775,216
