play. It 1 particularly In evidence
in the spring wheat acreage of United
States and Canada where It Is tho
result of unprofitable prices and is
in no way a response to well meant
but belated official advice. Current
reports Indicate a material contem
plated reduction in Argentina and
Australia. Germany and Italy under
the stimulus of a highly tariff pro
tected market, show a small Increase.
In the working of economic law there
is a lag between cause and effect,, so
that the unsatisfactory price trend for
the past two years is just beginning
to show its effect in an acreage de
crease. This decrease would have ap
peared earlier and would have been
more pronounced but for governmen
tal effort in many countries to arti
ficially support wheat prices, and u
the declining price warning had been
earlier heeded through the prompt
elimination of marginal areas, the
readjustment would have been less
Severe and. the process less painful.
Governmental interference with the
supply and demand price trend un-
oertaKen in surplus producing coun
tries , also unfavorably affected the
world wheat situation In importing
countries. In addition to encouraging ,
surplus wheat countries to maintain
their wheat acreage in hope of some
finally effective price stimulant, the
action also lead Importing countries
to defend themselves against artifi
cial prices by reducing wheat con
sumption and stimulating domestic
wneat production. Tne iirsc was -aone
by milling regulations lowering bread,
quality through a greater percentage
of 'flour extraction or the admixture
of cheaper substitutes, and the sec
ond by increased imporc auties upon
Imported grain. The effort of sur
plus producing countries to artificial

had two ill effects, it has encouraged
further increase in surplus produc-,
tlon at home and reduced, the over
seas market for the wheat thus pro
duced. ,
Russia As a Factor.
No clear understanding of the pre
sent situation and probable future
course of wheat growing can be had
without a careful consideration of
the position and possibilities of So
viet uussia. Tne acreage recoras oi
the five great wheat producing coun
tries Argentine, United States, Can
ada, Australia, Russia- prior to and
since the world war, In post war
.boundaries, may be studied in periods
as follows:
Average period: 1909-13 14.3, 47.1,

1920-2415.3,

This table emphasizes the manner
In which the four countries, Argen
tina, United States, Canada and Aus
tralia immediately increased their
acreage, to cover the deficiency cre
ated when Russia passed out as a
world wheat factor, and it equally
emphasizes how the same countries
refused to decrease their acreage to
make room for Russia's return as a
producer.
The return of Russia as a wheat
producer, as evidenced by her rapid
recovery In acreage to a figure ten
million acres above her pre-war area,
attracted "but little attention because
she was using practically all of her
enlarged crop at home, her contribu

Suicide Theory
Is Winning Some
Support Today
NEW YORK, June 13 W A theory
that Starr Faith full ended her own
bizarre life gained momentum today.
Nevertheless, Nassau county au
thorities continued efforts to find
evidence that the Greenwich Village
beauty had been murdered in a plot
involving persons of prominence with
whom she was Involved in gay life in
New York, London, Boston or on
steamships. A new diary discovered
In the girl's home, the authorities
thdught, might support the murder
theory.
Newspapers attributed to an un
named detective the theory that she
might have fallen off the sea wall at
Long Beach, Long Island, where her
oouy was found on Monday. This I
detective offered tho suggestion that I
tho waves had caused her to be
come unconscious and bruised be
fore she drowned.,
Dr. Otto Schultze, medical exam
iner, has been unable to say whether
she received her bruises before or
after death by drowning.
The grand Jury which District At
torney Elvln N. Edwards convened in
Mineola yesterday, remained in ses
sion but the one day and adjourned
to Tuesday. Mr. Edwards left short
ly for Rlverhead', 70 miles away, an
nouncing he was on a vacation. The
investigation was left with Inspector

Prior to that Mt. Edwards had
taken full charge of the case and
had offered theories that the girl

But he doesn't . at all minimize the
dangers lurking over the Pacific, in
solte of the shorter water jumps pos
sible, Rathor he agrees with the Ameri
can 'round-the-world fliers who have
made the Pacific flight and who say
that uncertain weather is a greater
risk than that of failure ln the plane
Itself.
tJones Agrees.
Tho odds are far more in favor of
Lindbergh flying the Pacific than
when he started his dash for Paris,
ln the opinion of Oassy Jones, noted
racing aviator and chief of the Curtis-Wright
air service. i
Jones is well known as one of the
best technicians in air circles, and is
an accomplished filer. ,
"I have Just finished a thorough
inspection of the plane Lindbergh
will use," Jones said.
"We installed a 675 Wright Cy
clone motor last December and it
will give him plenty of altitude. His
plane Is equipped with pontoons and
he has ample room for gasoline sup
plies. "If Lindy takes the trip easily and
Is content to wait for proper con
ditions, he should have very little
trouble. His greatest risk, of course,
is in the weather."
