WHEAT NEWS Ry Irvin J. Mathews Emergency Agr’l Assistant

The Kosciusko county wheat bonus allotment has been fixed by' the department of agriculture at 230,726 bushels. Farmers of Turkey Creek and Van Townships will meet t<>, hear Irvin*’J. Mathews, emergency agricultural assistant, assigned to this county by the Department of Agriculture, to explain the wheat curtailment and adjuSimer.r payments on Thursday. Aug. 17. The meeting will be held in the Mil-ford-gymnasium. j Ihe Prospect tor Marketing Wheat Mr’. Irvin J. Mathews says: Reading between the lines from the statements of Kosciusko farmers, I believe many, particularly those who do not have any base for adjustment compensation claims, plan to grow more wheat during 1934 than they have grown any time during the last five or six years. It seems to me that thiise who do this should first understand just what kind of a stick of dynamite we are standing on, with respect to the wheat market next year. Our Export Market Gone. Ordinary years we grow around 800 million bushels and up until 1928 we exported 200 million bushels or about one-fourth of our crop, Beginning in 1928 our exports fell off very sharply although our production maintained its normal pace with the result that from 1928 on, we piled up mounting surplus of wheat in the form of carryover in storage elevators and farmers bins until at present, we have a carryover of 300 million bushels just three times as large as our normal carryover. It is therefore evident that even with the short crop of 1933 when we produced 500 million bushels, we have on hand a supply of wheat w'hich is almost enough for domestic consumlion for two years. No Dollar In Sight. Those fanners who seem intent upon increasing their, wheal acreage for next year are doing it with the hope and belief that they will get a dollar a bushel. No one wishes they could more than 1 but the facts in the case do not warrant any of us, in believing that the world price for next year will be a dollar, unless the weather man steps in and pulls another trick like he did this year. This is the first time in forty years that he pulled a prolonged wet spring and followed by a prolonged drought That combination doesn’t come on the wheel very often and if we have a normal year with increased plantings. it is easily possible to have wheat selling at less than 30 cents. I think the best advice anybody can give you folks with the facts of the present situation In mind is not to sow for 1934, any more acres of wheat than you harvested in 1933. I doubt if there is any fanner in Kosciusko County who can afford to grow wheat .for thirty cents a bushel and I’m not here to give you folks any “hooey" but merely the facts. Wheat Plan Benefits Cooperators I have known something about every co-operative movement which has gained momentum in Indiana during the last twenty years. In many of these movements it was at times true that the non-cooperator made more money than those who cooperated. The present wheat plan in which the government agrees to see that the wheal grower gets a parity price in return for the grower reducing his aceage, is the only plan that I have ever known where the cooperator stood to benefit all of the time, no matter what conditions might arise. The farther the wheat price slips the more the cooperator will benefit. 0 ...

INDIANA PROSPER ' FOR OTrnN DECLINE H ' LAFAYETTE. Ind., Dry weather during July caused a decline of two 'bushels per acre in Indiana corn * I prospects, with an estimated produc'tion of 118,236,bushels, or only ’ two-thirds as much as was harvested i last year, according to the crop re- ‘ port as of August 1 issued by the ‘ Department of Agricultural Statistics of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. The estimate for the corn crop is slightly smaller than that- of I93t>, but slightly larger than that of 1901, one of the worst drouglh years in crop reporting history. It was pointed out however that conditions vary [ greatly, even between adjoining ‘ townships. A considerable percentage of late planting, many thin ’stands, aijd uneven rainfall make for | disparity in prospects. , The condition of oats was report- , ed the lowest in 44 years, with a prospective average yield of 16.5 . [ bushels per acie, that is lower than any yield harvested in the state since . records began in 1866. The production is the smallest since 1903. Winter wheat yielded 14.5 bushels I per acre, about one-half bushel per j acre below expectations before har- . vest, and about 2.5 bushels less than the average from 1923 to 1932, ; while the rye yield was 10 bushels per acre, also about one-half bushel t less than expected and 3.4 bushets , below the average for the same ’ years. Hay prospects are unchanged since ’ last month, with only 91 per cent as ( much hay in prospect as last year/ Pastures are very poor, although not reported as low as on the same date in 1930. . Potatoes are a poor crop, about 57 per cent of last year, while apples, peaches, and pears are about 40 per vent of the average from 1926 to 1930. Cows milked on reporters farms produced only 18.4 pounds each, the least in the nine years recorded, which has averaged 20.6 'pounds.
