WORLD SUPPLIES ARE SHORT, ALTHOUGH U. S. SPRING WHEAT'S GOOD

WASHINGTON, June 9 Despite an improvement of 19,000.000 bushels in the winter crop during May and an Indicated spring crop 68.000,000 bushels greater than that of last year, the total wheat production for 1920 was estimated Tuesday by the department of agriculture at only 781,000.000 bushels, or 160,000.000 bushels less than the total for 1919. From its condition on June 1. the spring crop was estimated at 277,000,000 bushels, or 18,000,000 bushels less than the five-year average. A total winter wheat production of 504,000,000 bushels was forecast. This is 228,000,000 bushels less than that of last year and 59,000.000 bushels below the average for the five years ending in 1918. "All told the present outlook is considerably better than could reasonably have been hoped earlier." said the department's announcement. "While almost a fifth less than the great crop of last year, it 13 only about a twentieth less than the average crop of the five years, 1914-1918, which included the three largest crops in our history, excepting last year's crop " Hessian Fly Omnipresent. The department said that while the Hessian fly was present from North Carolina to Kansas, no very serious damage had been reported Some rust, not serious, was reported in the Southern Central belt. The late spring and low temperatures were blamed for the low development of the plant, and It was said there was a possibility of the rrWition of the grasshopper damage of last year In the Dakotas. Simultaneously with the department's announcement of its production forecast, a committee representing farm organizations presented a memorial at the White House calling President Wilson's attention to what was described as "the critical situation existing on the farm and the resulting menace to the nation's food supply. , The memorial said that lack of farm labor had cut down production onethird in some sections, and that many millions of acres of land were being "uncropped." The wheat crop, the memorial said, was reported nearly 300,000 bushels short, and the late spring had seriously affected the corn crop. World Supplies Are Short. "World supplies are short." the memorial continued, "and higher food prices seem inevitable. Bread lines and food riots are not beyond the possibilities otthe next 12 months." "Iack of bank credit and high interest rates are causing thousands of acres of good pasture land to go. ungrazed. A later shortage of both beef animals and dairy animals will be the result." The memorial was signed by the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Orange and the Farmers' Union. Production of various crops forecast in today's monthly report from their June 1 condition follows: Winter wheat, 504.000,000 bushels; spring wheat, 277,000,000 bushels; cats. 1.315.000.000 bushels; barley, 1S5,000,000 bushels; rye, 80,000.000 bushels; hay, 112.000,000 tons; apples, 199,000,000 bushels; peaches, 45,000, 000 bushels. The spring wheat area this year is 19,487,000 acres, or 83.5 per cent of last year's; condition 89.1 per cent of a normal, compared with 91.2 a year ago.

Farm Federation

The announcement was made at the quarterly meeting of the board of directors and officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations in Indianapolis Monday by John G. Brown, of Monon, president of the organization, that Indianapolis had been selected as the convention city for holding the second annual gathering of the American Farm Bureau federation during the week of Dec. 6. The American Farm Bureau federation is the national organization of the various state associations of farmers formed at a meeting held in Chicago last winter, and will bring delegates to the city from more than 30 states. The Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations made a valiant fight to land the national headquarters, but on a close vote of the national executive board Chicago won the headquarters honors.

Furs and Mystery By Palais Royal

Spring caught black muskrat fur is the finest grade procurable. From this class downward, there are so many different qualities' that one is bewildered in thinking of them the principal determining features being: where caught, when caught, what size and what color. Muskrat is a durable fur one of the best wearing furs known, exceeding in this virtue several of the more costly though less plentiful animals. It is fair then to presume that if muskrats were less plentiful, the fur would sell at a very much higher price. Besides being so durable, muskrat fur is always in strong demand because it can be used in almost any condition natural, plucked, blended, dyed or sheared. In all these conditions, however, it is not sold as muskrat, for the unreliable fur dealer can get a better price for it as mink, brook mink, water mink, Hudson seal, electric seal. Red River and numerous other kinds of sea', none of which exists and, when sheared, as moleskin. Regardless of the many lower grades of muskrat fur, which can be doctored to sell at higher prices than they are worth, other skins of still lower value than tjie poorer muskrat are "treated" and sold by conscienceless dealers as the genuine. Few people would consider entering the store of a diamond merchant of unknown standing and buying a stone merely on his word that it was "the real thing." perfectly cut, first water, etc., yet there is more room for deception in selling muskrat fur, and most people know less about it than about gems. At least, a poor diamond will wear! BEWARE OF THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING! (To Be Continued.) Copyright, 1919.
