For 1936 the crop promises to be larger than for many years; According to the government crop report, measured by the condition July 1, and the weather since that date has been unusually favorable for wheat, the total production forecast is 20,690,000 bushels' which is S3 per cent more than was harvested in 1935, 64 per cent more than in 1934 and only two per cent less than the five-year average (1928-1932) before the government hired the fal lowing of producing acres. L ' ' - The district showing the greatest improvement from last year is the old Willamette valley, which ought , to be growing other crops, but this year on an acreage only 22 per cent more than last year is raising three times as much wheat. The cool, wet spring which injured hops, cherries and strawberries, has made the wheat stool out and hatvd oat. and fill until the granaries will be bulging this fall, i .

Total 3,C4 3,805 4,198 Not only is the wheat production running high, but the price promises to be very good, of profit for the growers without need of any subsidy. Last week The Statesman commented on the exaggera tion of damage to the wheat crop through drouth. We cited the fact that the winter wheat crop was practically made, and that harvest was in progress in some areas before the drouth stories appeared. Spring wheat is always a" gamble, and in quantity its production runs much less than winter wheat. Its quality is superior in gluten so it commands a higher price, being in much greater demand for flour. The spring wheat states, perhaps because of the speculative character of tha crop, have been for twenty years far more vocal politically than any other farm region. The winter wheat states, Kansas and Nebraska, are a little more certain of a crop, and have been able not been as radical, politically speaking, as they were forty years ago. - . 1 .j ; Confirming the assertion in this paper last week of good crops of winter wheat, the government crop report forecasts a total for all classes of wheat greater than for any year since 1932. It is true that crop deterioration has been great in the spring wheat belt since July 1, so the figures will be revised downwards in the August report, but the total will undoubtedly be ahead of 1933 and 1934. The following is the report of actual production in the years 1929-1935 and the forecast for 1936 as of July 1 : Tear Winter Hard red Soft red Thousands 1959 193 1931 133 1938 1934 1935 1C4.400 179.C92 241,787 159.214 12.313 188.(02 203,872 195.15$ 145.(21 403,C69 E.4U .liM50 -178.S97 ..207.86O -2,423 157,378 72.439 189,939 m.49 83.279 107.(53 (9.865 The country as a whole will have adequate wheat sup ; plies for the coming year, unless it be of certain grades of high-gluten milling wheat. The price should be firm, but will not run to unusual heights. In fact, the present market is about as high as conditions appear to justify. -. Faith and THE spectacle of Dr. Townsend attempting to lead and direct the great organization which has sprung up almost overnight underjhe attraction of his $200 a month plan i almost pathetic. His own course has been subject to so much wavering and changing, his proposal of methods so in definite and uncertain, it is clear that he is unable to lead and direct the organization which owes its existence to his idea. Dr. Townsend denounces the old parties Roosevelt and Landon, yet apparently falters at the plan of a new and independent party. Sometimes hie appears to flirt with the Lemke union party; again he is drawn away Now he sug gests with some solemnity a constitutional amendment for $200 a month for all over 60 as a "citizen service award", seemingly oblivious of the fact 'that such an amendment would be the hardest kind of a proposition to effect, and with no clear statement of the source of revenue for the "awards." The ivery machinery of the Townsend movement is un certain and unstable. It has been a close-corporation, j com pletely dominated by Dr. Townsend. Some efforts to democra tize the control are proposed. But here one sees very diver gent interests seeking to gain the control. Old party inem bers are seeking to turn the movement to the benefit of! their own parties, hoping to capture the mass voteJ It would seem that the convention is at a critical point. The movement's political influence, depends on its employing balance-of-power technique. Yet it is difficult; to consolidate millions of people so they will swing from one party to the other in order to control elections. Practical politicians see that if the movement attempts to form a new political party it will be submerged, as have many such movements in the past. - ' j ":. ?' The driving force of the cause so far has been faith. But the situation in which the Townsend movement finds itself now is a clear illustration of the truth of Paul's saying, that faith without works is dead. -And "works" in politics means more than just votes : it means strong leadership, thorough organization, and effective cohesion. These cannot be created over-night. Even if the Townsend idea were good, it appears destined to meet the fate of collapse under the stresses of practical politics. ....

KENT Cojrlrt 1933. by Tfcs Baltimers Bra The Federal Fiscal Jungle IT IS interesting that at the same press conference at which Mr. Rooserelt - announced that Mr. Farley, Instead of retiring from the Cabi net while man aging his cam paign. Would merely take a three months furlough wlth oat p a y, he should also hare made an other . economy gesture, direct ing heads of rtrnartments to rrsns B. Esat e a r expenses and spend less than their budget demands. THIS IS the second economy ges ture the President nas naaae m seven months. The first was made lust before Congress con vened last winter. No economies : followed. On the contrary, ex nenses. went nn. The first econ omy gesture .was not taken ser iously By department neaas or by anyone - else who knew any thin r about the facta. .There is no reason to believe the second will be taken any more seriously. There is, however, extremely good reason to believe that, as was tne case last time, as has been -the case every month since the. New Deal was inaugurated. : expenses will go up and, regardless of in creased revenues, the deficit deepen. : . SUCH HAS been its consistent record. Repetition of the ..econo my order at this tfme - serves a dual purpose. For one thing, it is essential for purposes of the cam paign, in which one of the main charges against Mr. Roosevelt is that, in violation of his pledges, he has wastefally expended un counted mUlions of public funds and piled up a debt which threat ens national solvency. For an other thing, it shared headlines with the Farley announcement the morning after, and made that Incident seem a little less bold. The fact about the .Farley busi ness is that it is not worth while blaming Mr. Farley. It isn't his fault. He has not only been will ing. but expected to get out right after the Philadelphia convention. The man responsible for his con tinuation as a Cabinet officer and campaign manager is Mr. Roose velt. If this is a bad practice- and most people agree that it la the man to blame is Mr. Roose relt, not his subordinate, who cheerfully would jump out of the window if told to by . his chief. The three months' furlough in this case is Mr. Roosevelt's con cession to public feeling, but it is a very slight concession. THE ECONOMY gesture, while it will bring no results, perhaps serves one useful purpose. It calls attention to the fact the Federal finances are now an Impenetrable jungle in which no one seems able to find firm footing or agree on the facts not even the : New Dealers themselves. For exam ple, at the Philadelphia conven tion. Keynoter Barkley, whose speech was regarded as highly Important, placed the national debt at thirtyone billions. A few days later Secretary of the Treas ury Morgenthau put it at thirty four billions. The Republicans, by adding in the Home Loan and Farm Loan bonds, guaranteed by the Government, very much high er still. There are some New Dealers who, by estimating the liquidation of the RFC, leaving out the guaranteed bonds, deduct ing the bonus and counting in the profit on the devalued dollar, cut the total cost of the New Deal to six billions. Instead of thirteen billions, bring the debt down to twenty-eight billions. . NO ONE really knows. No one can find out. You can make the debt almost anything yon want it. It depends upon the way you fig ure. It is the same way about the deficit. Mr. Morganthau asserted over the air that Federal expenses were "coming down in face of the fact that his own figures showed an increase in expenses over . the previous year. One newspaper writer Mr. Waltman, in the Washington Post, points out that even if 81.723,000,000 is deducted for the soldier Tonus, this year's total would still be above - last year, the fact ' being that Mr. Morgenthau had not in cluded in bis total various items which should have been in. - , ANOTHER flat contradiction to the "Morgenthau statement that Federal expenses are "coming down" came from Senator Byrd, of Virginia, who; taking the Bud get Director's own figures for next year, asserted that (leaving out the bonus) they totaled nearly a billion dollars more In expenses than this year. ' It was on the ground that under such circum stances an economy plank in the platform would be a Joke, that Senator Byrd declined the re quest to write one. The average lay mind is completely baffled by the confusion. Here is the Secre tary of the Treasury saying that expenses are coming down, and here Is concrete evidence that they are going up. No one agrees upon the size of the debt, the size of the deficit, or the way to esti mate either. The whole business is in a state of confusion and out of hand. : ' But for the serious menace involved it would be ridic ulous.
