i tit ft- i - -- v . . Thai OREGON STATESMAN, Salcta. Oregon, gatorday Morning. Febrttary 21. 1931 " PAG2 miTrf EEfffll TO EXPORT LESS South American Wheat not To be Great Factor In Coming Year Argentine competition, in world wheat markets may be less act Ire during coming months than earlier ad t Ices Indicated, since the second official , estimate of the season's supplies Is sharply lower than earlier lorecasta, ae cordlKK to the Grain , Market News Service, et the. United States Bureaa ot agricultural econom ics. The Argentine wheat crop Is now officially estimated at Z39 000,000 bushels, as against an earlier forecast ot 271.000.000 bushels, a redaction of 32.009,- 000 bushels. The new estimate of the harvest - however, is . still aronnd 7S.009.000 bushels above the small , crop of a year ago which was finally plaeed at 1S, 000,000 bushel. During the 40 year period for which crop, sta tistics are available, the outturn for the current year, if present estimates are realized, will have been exceeded only in the years 1923-1024. 1927-1928. and 1928 1929, when the record crop of 349,000.000 bushels -was har vested. Has Exceeded United States The chief interest In ; Argen tine supplies however, lies in the Quantity of wheat; which may be available for export at grain, eince annual flour experts have not yet exceeded the equivalent of 9,000,000 bushels of grain. The quantity of wheat available for export and carryover for the current year, is now placed at 145,0 00,0 00 bushels, as com pared with 80.000.000 bushels exported and, carried over during the last crop year. As an exporter of wheat, the Argentine ias in recent years surpassed the United States, and has been the most formidable competitor of Canada, not only because of increase in , the vol ume of exports, but also because of improvement In quality, as a result of the more extensive seed ing of -pedigreed wheat which has found Increasing favor among European millers. 1 The carryover of old . crop grain into the current year was of only moderate valnme, being placed at 11.000,000 bushels, as against 18,000,000 bushels a year ago. and 13,000,000 T shels two years back. The total supply for the current year, based on the new estimates ot production and carryover, amounts to 255, 000,000 bushels, against 181, 090.000 bushels a year ago, and domestic requirements for the season, including milling for the home consumption, seeding and feed loss, and waste. Is. placed at around 90.000,000 bushels. CHI SUM IS RULE Ifl PALESTINE JERUSALEM, Feb. 20. (AP) The Arab newspaper Al Hayat charged today that the practice ot young girls being sold Into vir tual slavery is in -operation in Palestine. This, says the Jewish Tele graphic agency, follows upon the sensational allegation made in Arab circles last December that rout v vi -4 tHbe of Traasjordania. sojourn- lng near uetsan in ine joroaa ley. had been sold by their fathers to masters and "has bands' in a number of towns. Al Hayat's story Is la the form of an open letter to the high com missioner from Hassan Sidky el Da J an I. who charges that it is not unusual for Arab girls of 1 years of age and even under to be "rent ed" for as long as 25 years at the rate of 35 a year.
