admitted reluctance the exchanges
complied. That halved trading vol
ume, but prices kept right on go
ing UP.
The exchanges claimed foreign de-
mand was responsible for the high
prices and they had some support
from the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics, which said, Without
large exports, prices of some COM
modities wheat, for instance-would
have been so low as to have required
support in 1947."
The support price at Chicago is
$208 a bushel. Wheat never sank
even near that level

Vast World Demand
10 Keep
Grain Prices High
By William Ferris
Assoeioted Press Morke. Writer


CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-A hungry
world today is providing back
ground for unusually high grain
prices, just as it has done all year
and apparently will do for many
months to come.
Grains attracted public attention
this year to an extent seldom
equalled. They hoped into the lime
light early when wheat crossed So
in March, and they provided a
source Of increasingly heated con-
gressional debate and presidential
speeches through to the years end.
Even the city-born and city-bred
boy became grain conscious when
the Citizens Food Committee urged
the public to adopt meatless and
eggless days to save grain.
Involved in World Politics.
Wheat got involved in both do
mestic and international politics.
The stability of European govern
ments became dependent in some
measure upon wheat grown in
Kansas and Minnesota.
Production in Americas wind
swept plains was tremendous but
it wasn't enough. For the first time
in history more than billion
bushels of winter wheat were pro-
duced, and the total wheat crop
set record at 1854 ,919 900 bushels.
The world wanted more.
During the summer a sizzling sun
beat down on the parched Mid
western earth, heart of the corn
belt. The yellow grain wilted. Con-
sumers' hopes of lower food prices
wilted with the crop. Production of
2, 400 952 900 bushels still was nearly
average, but it disappointed optim-
lists.
Oats production at 1921, ,561 900
bushels was off 278 8,306, 900 bushels
from 1916. A little more rye and
barley we're produced than in the
previous year.
Exports Set Record.
During the year American crops
sustained large part Of the world.
The United States exported more
grain than any country had ever ex-
ported. Railroad and shipping IA
cilities were strained. For the IL
months ending June 80, 1948, the
Unietd States planned to ship
abroad 570,000,000 bushels.
This terrible struggle for grain
reverberated through the Nations
