WHEAT CROP'S SIZE REIMS UNCERTAIN Kansas and Oklahoma Ex pected to Show 25,000,000 Bushels Under, Chicago, It is probable that the gram trade will nave; to revise us views regarding the domestic winter wheat crop, and possibly that of the entire world as the result of develop ments of the last week. The outcome of the American win ter and spring wheat crops is now hanging in the balance, as well as that of Canada, and unless there are soakincr rains in the spring wheat area a crop scare may get under way this week that will embrace the great er part of North America. This could not help but have considerable influence on world s values. . " Taken as a whole, it is possible that the wheat crop in Kansas and Oklahoma ultimately will turn , out 25,000,000 bushels of more under the June 1 expectation, which was 216,' 000,000 bushels, compared with 237,' 090,000 bushels last year. Nebraska, Illinois, Colorado and Missouri also have claimed crop deterioration, but the full extent of the damage cannot be determined until threshing time. Apparently the damage to the wheat crop is a reflection of the ex cessive rains which came at the time when the plant was in flower and it failed to pollinate as it should, result ing in unfilled heads, but the moisture resulted in plenty of straw airt creat ed the impression that there would be large yield. The acreage involved in the area now in doubt is large, and the six states that have sent in' complaints of deterioration during the past week on June 1 had an indicated yield of 357.. ... - - Fancy icKles IT Small Sweet Pickles, Gallon..... $1.90 Sweet Mixed Pickles, Gallon 1.80 Yolo Brand Sweet Pickles, Gallon 1.25 Wilsons Sweet Gherkins, Small Jar 35c Sandwich Pickles Tar 25c The Quality Grocery Phone 561 Alice Eager, Prop. 000,000. bushels out. of the 622,000, 000 bushels for the country. t i ". Comparatively few operators look for a spring wheat crop in this coun try equal to the 324,000,000 bushels harvested last yea: , and still fewer expect Canada to equal its 534,000, 000 bushels secured in 1928. The lat ter was a freak yield, and the clFect of it was very apparent on the world's price. ,"' ' When the true import of the recent ly enacted farm relief bill is under stood by the grain trade, it is prob able that it will be a market factor of no mean importance. K Whether the farm board or stabi hzation corporations J can I start to function in time to be of any benefit to the wheat producer during the first part of the season remains to be seen, but it is certain that if the sta blization corporation the first day after it is appointed announced that it would buy wheat the effect on values might be radical. '. Sufficient acreage and weather data are at hand now to permit making tentative estimates on production of leading countries of the world. lie ports would suggest that the 1929-30 world's crop is likely to show 150,' 000,000 to 250,000,000 bushels under the 3,710,000,000 bushels secured last season. As near as can be estimated, the world's consumption in 1928-29 will be around 3,600,000,000 bushels. Wheat values advanced rather vio lently during last week, and at the nign point snowed arouna ic over the mside figures of the season, which were made on May 31. While the prospective farm relief was a factor m checking the decline and makircr the first strong rally, it remained for crop damage to bring in speculative buying and the upturn to the best figures since early in May.

Iowa Farmers Buy and Sell Through Combine Des Moines.-r-For. more than 30 years the farmers in the vicinity of Monticello, la., have been ' served m their selling and purchasing by a co operative enterprise of their own, the Farmers' Mutual Creamery company. Although originally started a3 a creamery, the association now serves its patrons in the marketing of milk, poultry, eggs and livestock. Through a department store it provides them with many of their supplies. Today the association owns property valued at $60,000, considered as belonging to the community. The several depart ments serve about 400 farmers Heavy Rain At Vansycle Weston Leader: Ed Tucker reports that torrents of rain fell Saturday in the Vansycle region about six miles from Helix, where his ranch home is located. For a time the down pour reached almost the proportions of a cloudburst, and he thinks there must have been at least an inch of precipitation. Grain in the Vansycle region will be benefited, but the crop prospect there this year Mr. Tucksr does not regard as very promising, He expects a much better yield from the other Tucker ranch which his son Dale is operating in the Holdman region. , Helix wheat, he says, flourishing. GRITIGISM OF THE FARM AID PACT Senator Fears Huge Merger Will Control Farm Products. Washington, The fear that the ma chinery provided in the new farm re lief act. may result in the formation of "additional organizations of giant proportions to control agricultural products" was expressed today ; by Senator King, democrat, Utah, in a which he also called up- eeneral , to "take nAmnf a priori to enforce the anu friitit laws." ' The senator called attention to re cent announcements that the Postum company, inc., and the General Food company, "were establishing a more ,.fo.t union"' and declared that it , ohvious ."that if the federal gov- the various states do nf onfnroa their laws against monop olies and trusts and giant combin otinna most serious consequences will result, jeopardizing not only the eco t the political freedom of UUIlltl. Mfcv I the ' American Deople." Declaring that it had been suggesi- A "nther similar mergers win dj fnrmeA for the control of agriculture nroducts because of the belief that under the farm Dm mere wm ue in creasing surpluses," the senator said that the chief duty of the larm Doara would be the controlling of surpluses. "This," he said, "is to be at its dis nosal. These accumulations will m- evitably .depress the market for raw products and eventuate in ineir saie hv the farm board. This situation may have prompted the Morgan merger and may, lead to the formation of additional organ izations of giant proportions to con trol agricultural products." Senator C. C. Dill, home from wash. ington, said that he was "afraid' that the farm relief program, as passed during the special session of congress, will not woric out as ar ranged now." "I strongly advocated the deben' ture plan of some arrangement which would give the farmer some benefit of the tariff," he asserted, but it did not carry. And although it was not in line with my beliefs, I voted for it. "Thejight f or the debenture has iustToegun, as it will be carried to the tariff bill this fall, and probably it will go into the tariff bill with more propriety. In the farm bill its use would be optional, as a part of the tariff it would operate automat ically." ' Although congress has voted $150.- 000,000 for the farm bill, more prob ably will be needed when the fall ses sion opens, he said. is .e.ivs i!iL?ir flit !3t"i Hound-Trip tXT IsL Rates 53 3 From Atlen i Pt Skv3 o 'f. chinw m.m V WXy r c"y : d lSl 'J !G1 S Dam 1M -I I ,1 I Q Wufcinttm ., , 14.(1 Bl I f IB 7 SfecUi RxtM to Otlnr PiaU Z J f k M Bringing the East Hearer!
