AMERICAN WHEAT CROP IS SHORT ~ — ! Production In United States Estimated To Be Smallest Since 1917 By Herbert Little (U. P. Staff' Correspondent i Washington, June 10.—The United ] States will not be tile bread basket of the world this year. ■ With the smallest production of wheat since 1917 in prospect, economic experts of the department of agriculture today said the 661,000,000 bushels expected on the basis of June 1 condition would just meet the needs ot domestic consumption. Condition of wheat in Europe, India, Canada and northern Africa, the other prinei|Ml bread producers of the world, are all good—much better than in the United Slates—and the world need not fear a famine, experts said. The indicated decrease of approximately 25 per cent in United States production may cause increases ot prices in many wheat products to the consumer and boost grain prices generally. The terrific heat wave of late May and early June was only the ‘‘last draw" in a series of circumstances unfavorable to the crop. The spring wheat crop is in fair condition and with an increased acreage planted, promises to produce about 250,000.000 bushels, just a little more than the ten year average, although lower than las tyear. Chicago, June 10.—(United Press.) Despite tile government estimate of the lowest wheat crop since 1917. grain prices on the Chicago board ol trade up to noon today failed to make their prophesied leap.’ July wheat opened $1.69 3-4. a gain of three cents from yesterday's close, tint at noon the price was back to $1.67 a bushel. September wheat was) at $1.63 1-8, the same as the closing figure yesterday. December wheat showed a gain of one-half. Traders believe that Canada's exceptionally good wheat crop, the best in years, will offset the expected low yield in the states. — Invitations toshe annual commencement exercises of the Central high school, Kalamazoo, Mich., to be held Wednesday. June 17. have boon received here from Claude S. Logan, tor ■ mer Decatur boy, who is one of the - graduates. Mr. Logan is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Logan, formerly of - this cit A-. and he has made a splendid record in his studies at the Kalamazoo high school.
