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 | allotment program. | • GRANTS FAMS MEN PH KEI) WASHINGTON.
