1850 Wheat May Top
Billion Bushels With
Price Reduced 1917
BY the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
said today wheat production in
1850 may pass the 100000. 900
bushel mark and the price may
be 10 per cent lower than in 1919.
The department said this may
come to pass even with acreage
allotments in force for the first
time since 1943.
However. on the 1850 price out
look the department based its
figures on assumptions that are
virtually certain to be changed by
revision of the farm
support law.
Moreover. the price forecast was
based in part on an assumption
that there will be a decline in
the prices of things farmers buy,
which would mean a lowering of
the parity indices on which price
supports are based. This assump-
ton. of course. depends on gen.
eral economic levels a year from
now.
Based on Monthly Bulletin.
The departments long look
ahead was embodied in the annual
outlook issue" of it's monthly
bulletin. THE Wheat Situation. -
1t sized up the situation about
like this:
/. The wheat price support level
next year. under existing law,
might range $1.65 and SLIT a
bushel. But this estimate is under
the so-called Aiken farm price
support law and Congress is ex-
pected to write new farm price
support law for 1850 before it ad-
journs this fall. The present sup
port price on wheat is sl95 a
buShel.
2. If 100000 acres are plant
ed to wheat next year and yields
are average, crop of about
1.100,000,000 bushels would be
produced. The production FORE
cast for 1949 is 1.131.830, 900
bushels.
No Increase in CarryOver.
3. Domestic consumption will
remain near 100000 900 bushels
annually and exports may total
400, 100000 bushels. This would
mean no increase in the wheat
carryover or surplus.
Under these conditions" the
report said. prices would be ex-
pected to average about the sup
port level"
Wheat now is selling at farm
prices considerably below the
$1.95 bushel support level.
Farmers can get the support price
by putting their wheat in storage,
but those now selling outright are
reported to be receiving on the
average about $1.79.
The department said the ma
tional acreage allotment of Co.
900, 900 acres for the 1850 crop,
announced July IA, will be in
creased as a result of recent con-
greSsional action.
