tion is Shflrt
"The world in short of wheat; tho
United States Is oversold; and
prices miiHt certainly go higher."
This is u statement contained in
a oonimiinicaUon just received by
A. F. Houston county agricultural
cgenl from the American Fa nil. Iiu-
roau Federation Washington I). C
The communication continues:
"Tho present low p.-ices . in tho
grain markets are tho result of bear
propaganda by traders who sold
heavily in foreign markets several
months ago when prices wero high
end are now endeavoring to fill
these orders at a low figure.
"Already more than one hundred
and twenty five million bushels of
our wheat lias cleared for foreign
ports and the most optimistic fig
tires have never indicated a total
exportable surplus to exceed two
hundred 'millions of bushels. In other
words much'' more than half of
the wheat we can spare for export
has already gone out of the country
and it is reliably reported around
the Chicago Wheat I'it that traders
'have on hand today foreign contractu
for at least fifty million biislioln
more .than our total remaining ex-
portable surplus.
The feeling prevails that traders
particularly one of the largo pack
ing interests are in an extremely
delicate position and once the mar
ket turns upward must make a wild
scramble to got enough grain to
cover their foreign contract.
"There is absolutely no justii'itu
tion for tho present low grain
prices" says J. 11. Howard president
of the American Farm Bureai Fed
eration "and if natural forces are
allowed to prevail tho prices of
wheat must rebound strongly In thci
near future."
"We must look tho facts in the
face and realize that there is no
wheat surplus today. On the con-
trary there is a real world shortage
and those who have studied the situ-
ation closely freely predict three to
three dollar and a half wheat before
another crop is harvested.
"Kuropean wheat yields all drop
ped materially below their earlier
estimates and tho final crop figures
idiow only twenty million bushel.
mora than last year'H crop whilo the
combined wheat and ryo crops show
a total less than last year's crop
or probably the smallest crop on
record in recent decades. Tho wheat
crop of tho northern hemispheres
exclusive of India which is no
longer an international factor are
more than ono hundred million
bushels under a year ago.
The crop of the United States is
one hundred and ninety million
bushels under a year ago and th'!
combined rrop of tho United States
and Canada is one hundred and
twenty million under that of a year
ago. The -..odd's visible supply of
wheat js two hundred million bush-
els Blmrt of a year ago.
"We do not intend to call an or-
ganized strike to withhold grain
from the niarket to force the price
to regain Its -lrutj li-ol!' says Mr.
Howard; "but jwit do feel that every
farmer should know the facts' as to
tho available supply and -probable j
demand; and if on the strength of j
these facts it seems good 'business j
t ) hold he should 1m granted the
necessary credit to do so. We do
not believe the general consiliums
public desires to see the farmer
accept the present ruinous prices of- ;
fered. particularly when the margins '
made go into the pockets of the '
speculator rather than to the man j
