growing season have resulted in the
very low yield of $50, 1850 bushels
Of wheat or about 100000 bushels
less than the quantity normally con-
sumed in that county. With the rice
crop also seriously affected, India Is
expected to import wheat his year in
stead Of exporting it. In an average,
year before the World War, India ex-
ported over 50,O0O00O bushels of
wheat.
In Canada the total yield of spring
wheat is estimated at 273, O2O, 900 bush
els, of which 264, 900 bushels were
grown in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and
Alberta. Fall wheat, grown almost ex-
clusively in Ontario and Alberta, was
estimated at 15,473,0OO bushels. The
total wheat yield Of Canada for 1921 is
therefore 2SS,493,OO bushels, compar
ed with 263,1S9,O00 bushels last year.
A very unsatisfactory feature in the
present international situation. is the
hopeless condition of the Russian
crops. Unofficial reports state that
during last autum nand the spring of
this year only very small larea was
sown to the various crops, resulting in
failure to produce sufficient food for
the countrys needs. 1t is also report
ed unofflcially that considerable
amount Of wheat will yet be imported
by Russia this year. But up to the
present time the amount of wheat, as
we'll as other foodstuffs, which will be
imported is, conjectural and the Bu-
reau Of Markets and Crop Estimates
is unable to make definite statement
concerning it. .
In Northern Africa, the wheat crop
was generally Narger than last year. In
Algeria, threshing results show bet
ter yield than was expected earlier in
the season. In Tunis, bad weather re-
duced the yields somewhat from those
expected earlier while in Morocco the
crop was generally reported as salts
factory. According to estimates pub
lished by the International Institute of
Agriculture at Rome, these three coun-
tries are expected to produce. for 1921,
a yield Of 66,13S,000 bushels of wheat,
compared with 36.743,OOO bushels in
1920. ~

Washington. - A Preliminary state

census Of manufactures, covering the
year 1918. for the State of Kentucky
was issued by the Bureal of the Gen.

figures ore subject to such change and
correction as may be found necessary
from a further examination Of the re-

The census Of manufactures, 1919,
like that of 1914, excluded the hand
trades, the building trades, and the
neighborhood industries, and took ac-
count only Of establishments conduct
ed under the so-called factory system.

the census reports may mean more

Prospects for the worlds wheat sup
ply, while not so satisfactory as was
expected during the first part Of the
current reason, show at the present
time no cause for serious alarm. Esti-
mates Of the quantity Of wheat har-
vested In 20 countries, including the
United States, for 1921, total 2,461, AGO.
900 bushels, compared with 1884, 143,-
900 bushels harvested last year, &C
cording to, data compiled by the Bu-
reau of Markets and Crop Estimates,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
The 20 countries included in this
estimate are the United States, Canada,
Argentina Chile, Uruguay, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Finland, Frence, Greece,
Hungary, Italy, Spain, British India,
Japan, Algeria, Tunis, Union of South
Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
These countries produced approx
mately 6S per >cent. of the known
wheat crop Of the world during the
years 19O3-13, according to the annual
average production records Of the bu-
reau.
Although the long-sustained drought
throughout the greater part Of the
northern Hemisphere was a serious
menace to the various crops in many
countries, the fall-sown wheat has not
been affected adversely so much as
was at first supposed. On the contrary
the fall-sown wheat managed to obtain
a firm hold on the soil and fairly
vigorous growth before the beginning
of the drought.
Nearly all of northern and central
Europe will have larger wheat crops
this year than last, according to the
last estimates made by the bureau,
Belgium and Greece being the only
countries in which smaller crops are
expected.
Outside Of Europe, British India was
most seriously affected by the drought.

have prevailed throughout most of the

The census inquiry calls for the to-
tai amount OF capital, both owned and
borrowed, invested In the business, but
excludes the value Of rented property.
In addition to the component mate

The value Of products represents

factories during the census year,
whether sold or on hand.

A few years ago, the New York artists
