WORLDS WHEAT CROP
English Expert Says Prospects are
Very Favorable.
rAssncfafed Press .Dispatch

London, April 1.-THE prospects OF
the coming worlds wheat crop are
favorable and the harvest is likely
to produce enough to meet the worlds
demand, says Sir James Wilson
chairman of the Central Agricultural
Wages Committee for Scotland, an
authority on that subject. He de-
clared in an address he delivered
the other day on "The Worlds
Wheat" that the worlds supply fol-
the current cereal year is more than
equal to the demand, and he pre-
dicted that on August next there
would be a surplus of exportable
wheat left in the exporting countries
But, he said, this surplus, outside OF
Russia and India. would not be large
and If the worlds future weather
proved unfavorable, the fall in the
worlds price of wheat n4ght be
checked and the price might even
rise again.
For the world as whole, he said
there is no more reason to fear flu
ture permanent dearth of wheat than
that the world will be starved of food
generally. He predicted that some
time within the next twenty years
the worlds price of wheat, measured
in gold, will return to level not far
from the pre- war average.

SEEK BETTER ROADWAY
Minneopa State Park Committees
View the Situation

The Minneopa State park commit
tee, consisting of George M. Palmer,
Judge Lorin Cray, M. D. Fritz and
Thomas Hughes, accompanied by
State Highway Commissioner ]. w.
Hruska, drove to the park yesterday
afternoon in Mr.. Palmer's car. The
object of the visit was to look over
the feasibility Of more accessible
and better road approach to the park
from the main highway. A plan for
such improvement is under consid-
Grafton, the details of which will be
worked out by Mr. Hruska.
Minneopa Park is one of the states
most beautiful parks, and is visited
by thousands of tourists and local
people each year. 1t is Ideally locat-
ed at Minneopa station, wnere ma
ture has done much in scenic way.
Here are ample shade trees and wa
ter, and the two water falls so his
toric throughout the state. Swings,
picnic benches, refreshment stand
and other requisites are there for
the tourist, making it one ofsthe
charming picnic and restful spots of
Minnesota. :,
At present, however, many avoid
the almost inaccessible road leading
to the park, and it is this feature
that the park committee hope to
remedy in the near future.
