RUSSIA A WHEAT FACTOR"

Chicago, April 2O.-Russia, accord
ing to James a. Patten, the "wheat
king" is today the big, outstanding
economic factor governing the trend
of the worlds wheat prices. This
great grain producing nation IS
knocked out of the world market for
at least three years.
A messenger boy rushed past q row
of stock tickers and handed him a few
more kilograms. Then the black
board man chalked up:
MAY wheat $1.41."
you don't hear any more talk Of
dollar wheat, remarked the pictur-
esque Patten, cycling the "$1.41."
Russia-Russia is responsible. -
he explained. RUSSIA is out of the
worlds wheat trade. She won't be
able 10 get back in for three or four
years Wen feed Russia for the
next fifteen months. Before the war
Russia was big world factor. She
used to export daily two million
bushels of rye into Germany and
Austria-Hungary That's our bust
mass now
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1922-04-27
Europe Depends on U. S.

See those figures on the board
eight hundred thousand bushels for
export from our markets today! That
shows Europe IS economically de-
pendent upon America for supplies.
It viii continue so until Russia gets
back on her feet.
Il don't expect to see cheap wheat
for quite a time. figure, too, that
farmers in the United States have
been marketing their wheat heavily.
They had to. They needed the money
They had borrowed money and the
country banks We're pressing them.
Thye haven't the wheat now. That's
another important factor
