Current European Grain


oil-cake and feed-grains. Flocks and
hords will have to be reduced to
numbers that can be carried safely
through the winter on local food
supplies.
Short crops in continental Europe
normally have been made up by
overseas imports, but continuation
of the British blockade presumably
would drastically reduce such inn
ports this year. On the other hand,
the Continent will have such food
as once went to Great Britain. AL
though information now is not as &C.
curate as in peacetime, the situation
as summarized by the Office of
Foreign Agricultural Relations in
cooperation wit hthe Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics is about as fol-
lows:
Wheat supplies reduced by a short
crop and small imports. Even with
a minimum carryover in June 1914,
a net deficit Of between 100 and $50
million bushels is indicated, a short
age of about 5 to 10 per cent of the
usual wheat consumption. Rye sup
plies probably are no worse than
wheat. Bread-grain shortages may
be partly offset in central and north
ern Europe by use of potatoes and
mixing of potatoes with grain flour,
and in south by substituting corn
for wheat. 1t is possible a greater
use may be made of German stocks
than assumed in this estimate.
Although the feed crops in Cont
mental Europe may be about nor
NAL, indicated total supplies will be
10 to Is per cent low, largely be-
of drop in imports of concen-
trates. Also, surplus feed of south
eastern Europe will not be readily
available TO deficit countries of the
northwest. The use for food of
more potatoes than usual will ag-
gravate the feed situation.
The feed shortage in Denmark
and the Netherlands will cut heavily
into dairy production in the coming
winter. Increased slaughter of live
stock and poultry as winter comes
temporarily will give increased meat
and fat supplies. Although slaugh-
ter of poultry in northwestern Eu-
rope viii be heavy and egg supplies
reduced, cessation of exports to
Great Britain may leave almost nor
NAL supplies for the continent. But
the trend of butter, meat and fats
will be toward scarcity.
In continental Europe consump-
ton of fats and oils normally is
about twice production. Informa-
ton on current stocks of fats and
oils is not available, but despite sup
plies that may have been accumulat-
ed before the war, it is likely that
present supplies are not above aver
age. Germany may be able to fill
some part of her fat deficit from
the Danube basin and Denmark, but
the aggregate fat supply for CONT
mental Europe this winter probably
will be about rs per cent short.
The sugar available in continental
Europe this year probably will pro-
vide for normal consumption.
Stocks were low at the beginning of
1899, but a large crop was produced
that year and rationing reduced ct-l-
sumption.
Although the 1910 fruit crop is
seen as much smaller than the
harvest of 1899, a large vegetable
crop is indicated; the acreage in
creasing rs per cent in Germany
alone. Although there may be To-
cal shortages in the invaded areas
and elsewhere, it is impossible I'M
der present conditions to move sup
plies of either p%erishable fruits or
vegetables any distance.

PROPER CULLINC
URGED BY PARISH
Says Culling Of Improbable
Hens Will Mean Quick Pick
Up In Returns
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor N. C..
State College

RALEIGH, Sept. 1.-R-Culling
Improbable hens from the poultry
flock now will mean a quick pick:
up in cash returns for the farmer,
c. F. Parrish, poultry specialist
of the N. C. State college extern
sion service. said today.
"Boarder' hens eat up as much
feed as the good layers but fail to
return commensurate profits. In
other words, Parrish said, they act
as a drag on the general flock
average.
If the pullet flock has been fed
and housed properly, it should be
ready now to come into lay. In
some cases, these pullets have al
ready begun laying.
About the only culling possible
in a flock of these young birds is
eliminating the small deformed
birds and those with small combs,
a certain sign of slow sexual ma
turity.
The state college poultryman
said the older birds, or the laying
flock should be culled all during
the year, but more rigidly during
July, August and the first of Sep
TENDER. At this time, the poorer
producing birds will have stopped
laying and will be starting to mott.
The better hens will continue to
lay and retain their feathers until
late September or October.
However, Parrish warned, it is
important to remember Matching
dates when the culling process is
started. It is possible that a pullet
Matched early last year began lay
ing the last Of August and between
that time and the middle of July
could have produced 200 eggs.
Growers should be careful about
disposing of birds Of this type it
they are breeding and reproducing
their own flocks. The best OF pull
lets Matched last year in April
should be laying now.
In culling, the state college man
explained, too much stress should
not be laid on melting, as poor
management practices and diges-
tive disturbances will often throw
birds into an abnormal mott.
Greater emphasis S should be
placed on whether the bird is lay
ing. If the hen is not, the poultry
man should. investigate the cause.
If evidence points to poor breed
ing, then the bird should be mar
keted at once. However, If the en-
tire flock has recently suffered a
severe slump in egg production,
then it is most likely a feeding OF
management problem. Culling is
not the solution.
If the management and feeding
practices have been good and the
birds have been given an oppor'
tunity to lay and still r not pro-
ducing, then the flock should be
culled rigidly. !

Almost every day I have some
one ask about the food situation in
European countries and if there
is not going to be a severe short
age of food during the coming win
ter, particularly in the belligerent
nations.
Thinking this subject of general
interest, I am showing below a
statement of the situation recent.
ly issued by the office of Foreign
Agricultural Relations, u. S. De
partment of Agriculture.
Total continental European sup
plies of the bread grains-wheat and
rye-this year appear to be 5 to
10 per cent under peacetime con.
sumption requirements, the Office
of Foreign Agriculture Relations re.
ported today July 29) on the basis
of latest information. The report,
appearing in the weekly publication,
Foreign Crops and Markets, says
also that feed supplies probaly will
be deficient by 10 to Is per cent.
Food grain production will be about
normal, but the shortage of food
concentrates in Denmark, the Meth
erlands and parts of Germany,
countries which depend heavily on
imports, will be particularly acute.
Current bread-grain crops appar-
emily will be about Is per cent be-
low normal, according to the report.
Fairly large stocks, however, are
believed to exist, especially in the
Axis countries, where they prob
ably are larger than the usual peace
time levels. The bread-grain short
age may be partially offset in CEN
trail and nothern Europe by a pota-
to crop about normal or better, and
in the south and southeast by a bet
ter than normal corn crop. Fruit
prospects are MOI bright, but the
vegetable supply for the continent
as a whole probably will be normal
or better.
If 1910 crops and stocks already
on hand were to be proportionately
distributed, there would be no alb
normal shortage of food and certain
ly no widespread starvation, the Of
flee of Foreign Agricultural Rela-
lions reports. But communications
lave been disrupted distribution
df%sorganized, and people in great
numbers have left their homes. In
the larger cities Of the recently in
vaded countries and in other areas
where refugees are gathered, food
supplies soon may be inadequate.
Even where fod supplis are for sale
economic dislocation leaves many
without the money to buy. The sit
uation is further aggravated by the
fact that the armies of occupation
will subsisti largely if not wholly on
the supplies OF the invaded coun-
tries.
Cattle and hog numbers in CONT
mental Europe at the beginning of
the war were greater by Z and IA
per cent, respectively, than in 1914.
In countries where livestock farm
ers depend on imported foods-Den-
mark, the Netherlands, Belgium and
part Of Germany-there is serious

Says Government Must Cut
Costs 70 Solue Problems

TO business expansion in the face
of the. numerous obstacles that had
been placed in the way of profit
able enterprise.
Zone Of these obstacles was and
is the fiscal policy itself. As a
means of aiding business, the bor-
rowing and spending program of
the government not only is mis-
directed but apparently tends to de-
feat its own purpose by creating
uncertainty in the minds OF the
people regarding the economic fu-
ture. Many OF our citizens are SER
iously concerned over the outlook
for taxes, government credit, and
the value of the currency; and this
concern is an important factor in
shaping business policies.
"The state of the Federal finances,
however, is not the only impedi-
ment, or perhaps even the chief
impeachment, to recovery. The per-
sistent sluggishness Of trade seems
to be due largely to the numerous
legislative and administrative OBJ
stacles and controls that make bust
ness relatively Improbable and
that cause enterprise and new I'M
dertakings to seem undesirable to
business men and investors. The
costs and risks Of business have
come to be disproportionate to the
profits that can be reasonably eX-
pected. AS long as these controls
and impedinents continue in full
force, the fear will persist that dras-
tic retrenchment in government ex-
penditures would be followed by
another major deflation, increased
unemployment, reduced revenues,
higher relief costs and another rise
in the deficit. To considerable eX-
tent, the present condition of the
budget appears to be par: Of vic
ious circle in which business and
employment are being retarded by
so called reform measures and tenn
porarily stimulated by large injec-
tons Of borrowed public funds.
Only Solution.
"a large scale reduction in gov
eminent expenditures, accompanied
accompanied by Tightening Of the
present burdens and restrictions or
business, is the only solution. Meth
er high taxes nor continued deficits
will meet the requirements Of the
situation 1t is doubtful whether
under any conceivable tax structure
the economic power of the country
could be made to support anything
approximating the present scale O
expenditures; and continuance O.
heavy deficits can eventually leac
only to disaster. Retrenchment ant

New York, Jan. 29.-The belief
mat business recessions are due 10
failure of consumers purchasing
power is one OF the least securely
FOUNDED economic notions prevalent
tooay, and one of the most unfor-
l!nate IN its practical effects, states
the Guaranty Trust Company Of
New York in discussing the Federal
pudSet submitted to Congress by
the president this month. in The
Guaranty Survey, the Trust Com
pany's monthly review OF business
and financial conditions in the
united States aid abroad, published
today.
The recession Of 1897, according
to the presidents message, was due
10 variety OF causes stemming in
the man from over-optimiSm which
led the government 10 curtail its
net expenditures too sharply for
consumers purchasing power to
keep pace" The Survey continues.
But most Of the unemployment that
exists in times Of economic adver-
sity is found in the industries and
trades that depend for their demand
not on consumers purchasing power
but on business expansion. This eX-
pansion, in turn, depends on the
confidence of business men in their
ability to expand profitable. Varia-
tionS in consumers purchasing
power appears TO be primarily an
effect, rather than a cause, of fluc-
tuation in business activity.
Fallacy of Government Investment.
1T follows that efforts to
strengthen consumers purchasing
power by mourning deficits are mis-
directed, as far as the stimulation
OF recovery and the prevention Of
recession are concerned. Relief ex-
penditlwes may at times be neces-
Sary from humanitarian and a
political standpoint. They may even
succeed in maintaining d certain
minimum level of consumers pur-
chasing power, as long as govern
ment credit and the value of the
currency held out. But, as an eco
nomic eXpedient designed to inn
prove business conditions. they are
beside the mark. They strike at eff
fects, not causes. There is far less
evidence to support the view that
the 1887 recession was due to q
breakdown Of consumers purchaS-
ing power than that it reflected a
