Wheat Imports

Jump Rapidly United States Now Buys 40 Million Bushels From , Other Nations. By FRANK RIDGWAT Gears of international trade machinery have been thrown in re- 1 verse to the extent that the United | States is today the world’s largest wheat importer, with tHe single ex- I ception of Great; Britain, including North Ireland. In that regrettable position this nation has imported ! from foreign countries more than 40 million bushels of wheat within the past year. For at least 70 years, this country had been a net exporter of wheat. A dozen years ago, farmers bragged about selling to foreign countries more than 259 million j bushels of wheat in> one year, exceeding the exports of any other country in the world. Today, they ! are forced to stand by and watch i foreign growers sell wheat to j America's customers abroad. They j also are supplying a large part of j the market here at„ home. Goiernment Tinkering This revolutionary change has been brought about not only by drouths, but also by government tinkering with production and foreign trade policies. Had there been no government meddling, our growers would have had more wheat to sell during the next 12 months when prices are expected to be higher than they have been for several years. * After three years experience under a crop and livestock production program dictated to them by otHcials of a centralized government, many practical farmers feel that they would have done a better joJb acting individually. They must pay their share of the New Deal dole I ..torey sent out to individual farm- 1 ers for reducing their production j which has contributed to the pres- ! ent predicament. Farmers..had been told by politi- ; cal planners that the reduced pro- j duciion of farm products, brought j , about by adverse weather condi- j tiors and by the Agricultural Adju* sent Administration program, i had'been g<>oJ for them. As they j now stand looking backward, each farmer is better cble to appraise j for himself what. the drouth and j the Agricultural Adjustment Ad- j ministration did for him and decide as an individual whether it has been good or bad. Pay Higher Prices Producers, working under vari- f ous handicaps, are now threshing a wheat crop estimated to be ap- j proximatcly 638 million bushels, j more than 145 mitiibn bushels less , than the five-year average from j 11.1-’.)l 1 . 1 -’.) to 19.0 It will again be nec- > essary for 'the United States to bring in large quantities of hard wheat to blend with soft livheat dur- [ ing the next year. Our millers will be forced to pay a higher price : plus 42 cents a bushel duty be- ; cause Canada's wheat crop is short. ! j When the wheat drills start this j fall, many United States growers are expected to make their own de- j cisions as to the number of acres they will plant and encourage 1 their neighbors to do likewise. j. i Lincoln, Landon Have Same Initials Mrs. Wilma D. Hoyal, assist- < ant chairman of the Republican < National Committee, isn’t super- 1 stitious, but she points out that Abe Lincoln and Alf Landon ; , have the same initials. “Abe Lincoln," says Mrs. Hoyal, • brought our country through I its greatest crisis in the 19th i century. If there is any signifi- • cance in this repetition, Alf Landon surely will be elected to do | the same for us in the 20th cen- j tury." , SALEM i ■ Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Smith and family, Laporte; Mr. and Mrs. John Cable and daughter Sandra Ann, Elkhart; Mr. and Mrs. Glen Smith, Millersburg; Mr. and Mrs. Emory Guy and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold LeCount and family, visited Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith, Sunday.

The best stables of the Grand Circuit are entered in these different stakes and all noted drivel’s will take part. In addition to these stakes, there will be 8 Late Closing Purses, j all for SIOOO each and might add that

Indianapolis is the only meeting in the Grand Circuit in which none of their races of the main program are for purses less than SIOOO. There will be a Saturday Program for Indiana Half Mile Track horses for S3OO each, but this is not connected with the feature program. The present outlook is that Indianapolis will have the best racing that has ever been seen since the inital meeting in 1891.
