Estimate as of June
Sees Great Problem of
Crop Control
WASHINGTON, June 11-C?7-A
government forecast that the
1938 wheat harvest In this coun
try will be at least 1,020,623.000
bushels the largest on record
gave impetus today to prepara
tions for drastic federal control
of next year's crop.
Not since 191 S, when farmers
harvested 1,008.637,000 bushels,
has anything like such a yield
"been indicated. The 1915 crop
was warmly welcomed, for Eur
ope was at war and needed sur
plus American wheat.
However, this year's prospec
tive harvest constitutes perhaps
the most serious farm surplus
problem confronting the Roose
velt administration. Should the
forecast be borne out, the total
supply of United States wheat, in
cluding a surplus of about 200.
000,000 bushels from last year,
would be at least 1,220,000,000
bushels.
Far over Needs
Such a supply would provide at
least 450.000,000 bushels more
than estimated domestic and ex
port requirements during the
coming marketing season. The
largest previous surplus was 378.-
000,000 bushels in 1932, when
prices dropped to 30 cents a
bushel.
Under provisions of the new
farm , law, the agriculture de
partment would be required to
set the 1939 wheat acreage allot
ment at between 45.000,000 and
50.000.000. compared with 80.
000.000 acres seeded for this
year's crop.
Pout-War Acreage Low
Anticipating objections from
farmers to such a drastic reduc
tion program, .the department has
' asked congress to amend the law
to set the allotment at 52.000,
000 acres. This would be the
smallest wheat acreage since be
fore the World war.
The crop report also revived
Interest in the government's
forthcoming wheat loan program,
under which money will be ad
vanced to farmers who desire to
withhold surplus grain from the
market until prices improve. Of
ficials have indicated the loan
rate may be between 60 and 70
cents a bushel. They expect the
loans to put a floor under prices,
which have declined : more than
50 cents a bushel since last
spring. Recent Damage May Change
The crop forecast was based
' on condition of the grain on
June' 1. Consequently, reports
received this week of crop deter
ioration from rust and spring
frost were not taken into con
sideration. The report accompanied the
forecast said. however, that
black stem rust was present but
up to June 1 h-d'coused little
damage. It said orange rust
was widespread and had caused
some loss.
The winter wheat crop was es
timated at 760.623.000 bushels,
compared with 685,102.000 har
vested last year. a 1927-36 ave
rage of 546.396.000, and 825,-

repeated air raids on Canton, south Chinese port, left this city de
vastated and took nearly 3,000 lives besides wounding 8,000 others.
It was feared these bombings were preliminary to Japanese occupa
tion of Canton on which the British crown colony of Hongkong, down
the Pearl river, depends for Its existence.
Thousands are fleeing Hankow, temporary capital of China, as Jap
anese troops push their advance toward the key city, forcing Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to abandon the eastern half of the forti
fied Lunghal railway line and set up new defenses along a moun
tain range between the Lunghal and Hankow. At the same time.

Wheat Skyrockets
In Heavy Buying
CHICAGO, June lMVThe
heaviest buying in months poured
into the wheat pit today and
prices skyrocketed almost five
cents a bushel, which is the limit
placed on daily fluctuations. ,
Today's upturn which carried
July wheat here to a high of
79 and September to 80 put
the market about 12 cents a
bushel above the! five-year low
level reached 10 days ago.
After wheat touched the day's
highs in the final hour heavy
profit taking developed but caused
only . slight reaction. Wheat
closed .4 U to 4 V above yester
day's finish, July i 79-. Sep
