WHEAT TO STAY AT PRICE LEVEL, SAY GRAIN MEN Winter Crop Large, Spring Sowing Below Normal, Reports Show. FOREIGN AGENTS BUY CHICAGO. April 7. —Wheat pri*e*. t. re expected to maintain their present level by leading grain dealers here In touch with tho market conditions. Acreage is slightly above normal, according to reports from the great wheat fields of the middle and Northwest. “Prices will probably not drop appeciably.” James A. Patton ‘wheat king' said today. He added, however, that farmers may have some difficulty in getting $1 a bushel for July wheat. Patton pointed out there is heavy buying by foreign agents for July aud pfuigust shipments. “Estimates show 40,000.000 acres of winter wheat were planted; about 6.000,009 acres above the prewar normal,'' said J. E. Carney, grain expert. “The spring wheat acreage Is 15 per cent below the prewar normal.” Dry weather conditions in the northwest were relieved yesterday and today by rains.

Grain men said Argentina's present shipping makes it appear the crop there was estimated high. ‘•Unless Argentina shipments increase, American producers may look for an excellent demand for wheat,” Carney said. “European acreage is below prewar normalcy. and advices show French and Roumanian growers are apprehensive as the result of dry weather. “The selling price of grain today as well as that of other basic commodities, does not represent the intrinsic value. The demand is limited to absolute requirement. After readjustment of conditions prices of all basic commodities will seek above a pre-war level.” Some Argentine and Australian wheat Is expected on the American market soon. PREDICTS BUMPER WINTER WHEAT CROP. B. IV. Snow, a leading wheat authority, after a tour of the Middle and Northwest, predicted a bumper winter wheat crop. He said it is too early to talk about spring wheat. “The crop will be over 630.000.000 bushels.” Grain dealers say the corn crop will fall slightly below normal. The planting season for oats is under way. High freight rates probably render the crop in some sections valueless, experts said. Crawford Selected on Farm Committee Earl Crawford, Connersvlile, will, succeed Maurice Douglass as a member of the executive committee of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, following his election Wednesday at a meeting of the board of directors. Mr. Douglas, who served as secretary of the organization, has been appointed as a member of the public service commission.
