the past three weeks, grainmen
said, has complicated the wheat
problem because farmers soon must
decide what to do with approx
mately 278,000,000 bushels sealed In
storage as collateral for 100000, 900
in Government loans. Further
more, because of the best moisture
situation in years, a bumper crop
is in prospect. The new harvest
begins In about four months.
Stocks Low Abroad.
The United States wheat prob
lem is only phase of a worldwide
condition growing out OF the war
which has closed the biggest import
market-Continental Europe. Re-
cent reports indicate that many
European nations are scraping
wheat bins while a record-break-
ing surplus of a billion bushels is
piled up in the four major export
ing nations-the United States,
Canada, Argentina and Australia.
Canada has the largest surplus
but also the best remaining mar
ket-Great Britain. Recent reports
indicated that threshed wheat is
lying in fields in some sections of
the Canadian belt. The govern
ment is considering drastic steps
to construct new storage space and
limit production.
By virtue of big 1910 harvest
and carryover from 1889 the United
States had available for the crop
year which began July l approxi-
mately 1,1OO,0O0,OOO bushels, In
1928 the supply was 1872 100000
and the season before that 1854
100000, largest since World War
days.
Trade experts estimated that
after all domestic requirements and
very modest exports, mostly in the
form of flour, the United States
would still have about 4OO,OOO,OOO
bushels next July l, to which the
new crop will be added. Such a
carryover would break all records.
Unless prices improve in the next
few weeks, the Government is like
ly to own more than half of this
supply. OF the 27S,OOO,0O0 under
loan--111 100000 more than a year
ago-225 100000 bushels are stored
In elevators. Wheat loans will begin
to mature next month and all will
expire April 30. At current prices
traders said, owners of most of this
grain would not be encouraged to
pay of the loan, plus storage and
interest charges, and redeem their
wheat.

But going further than the rail-

Low Prices Emphasize
Domestic Wheat Problem

CHICAGO, Jan. 80 (R).-The
lowest prices chalked on the Chicago
wheat pit blackboard in three or
four months reflected today the
growing acuteness of the domestic
wheat problem.
From statistical standpoint the
United States wheat situation was
akin to that of 1882, with the supply
the biggest since that year. AL
though prices we're approximately 80
per cent higher than in 1882, they
were the lowest for January in eight
years, with the exception of 1899.

By the Associated Press.
Government control over the pro-
duction and marketing of major
farm crops may be extended this
year far beyond the scope of the
past, Agriculture Department Of
f1cials said today.
Increasing surpluses in cotton,
tobacco, wheat, corn, lard and many
other farm products make more
rigid measures necessary, they said
The Government itself has more
than $1000,0O0,0O0 invested in such
surpluses.
For the first time since inaugu-
ration of New Deal crop control
measures in 1888, the Department
is preparing plans to invoke strict
marketing quotas on the Midwest's
two major crops-wheat and corn.
If the growers vote approval of
such quotas, farmers would be re-
quired to limit sales and feelings
to allotments given them by the
Department, or pay stiff penalty
taxes.
Record Surpluses on Hand.
Federal control over marketing
Of this years cotton and tobacco
crops already has been authorized.
This will be the fourth consecu-
tive cotton crop sold under Govern
ment restrictions and the second
tobacco crop.
Surpluses Of cotton, wheat, to-
bacco and corn are of record pro-
portions Much of the unmarked
able supplies are stored under Gov
eminent loans to producers. Off
cials said two factors contributed
to this situation: Cd Shrinkage
of foreign markets as a result of
war blockades and increased world
competition, and % higher yields
resulting from chronological devel-
opments.
Heretofore wheat and corn farm
ers have been subject only to VOL
untary control phases of Federal
farm programs under which grow
ers received planting allotments.
Farmers we're free to abide by or
ignore these allotments, but only
those who adhered to them were
eligible for maximum Government
benefit payments. Farm subsidies
for all crops totaled s766,000,000 in
1910.
Growers Must Vote.
Quotas on corn and wheat would
have to be approved by two thirds
of growers voting in referenda. The
wheat referendum would be held in
May or early June. while that for
corn would be conducted in Sep
tember.
Offlcials said only adverse crop
developments in the spring or sum-
mer or a sharp upturn in farm
exports would eliminate the need
for quotas on wheat and corn. Win
ter wheat crop prospects are the
best in many years.
Officials said marketing quotas
might be followed by a sharp re-
duction in planting allotments for
