Oregon farmers, particularly
wheat growers, are going to have
to make their own decisions on
what changes, if any, should be
made in their furming practices in
view of the European war, but
every effort is going to be made
t<> see ttiat they have all the facts
DOMlbld on which t<> base such
decisions.
Many people are assuming that
what happened to wheat prices
following the outbreak of the
World war in 1914 will be re
peated The figures on compar
ative wheat supplies then and now
do not bear out such a belief, say
AAA officials. For example, at
the outbreak of the World war
In 1914 the world had a wheat
supply of 3.7 billion bushels This
year the supply is 5 3 billion bush
els, the largest in all history.
Furthermore, In recent years the
European countries have become
far more self sufficient in wheat
production than at the opening of
the World war World wheat pro
duction outside the United States,
exclusive of Russia and C’hlna, has
increased from less than two bil
lion bushels In 1914 to nearly
three ami one-half billion bushels
in !!• . ■
These and many other facts
will tx- presented for farmers to
use in deciding whether they wish
to take a chance on wheat prices
going higher than the amounts
now received under the acreage
