Crop But Slightly Larger Than Domestic Requirements. WORLD CROP LARGE Prodartion in Foreign Countries on Vp Grade, With Acreage Larger Than the Pre-War Average. iFrom the report of Secretary of Agriculture Jardine.) The most sifr.ificant fact about our wheat situation is thut with a large world crop the United Statos appar ently has little more than enough wheat to meet domestic requirements. The wheat crop of the Northern Hem isphere, outside of Kussia and China, is estimated to be 11 per cent greater than the 1P-4 crop. It is larger than the pre-war average of production in the same countries, but not equr.l to the record crop of 1923. Russia is reported to have some wlfeat for ex port. Although it is not expected that Russia will contribute as much wheat for export as before the war, it is possible that she will export more wheat this year than she has export ed in any other year since the war. Prospects are also good for the wheat crop in Argentina, bat a short crop in Australia may offset the prospec tive increase in Argentina. The world's supply of rye is also an important factor in the wheat situa tion. The rye crop, too, is much larger than last year. Estimates in the Northern Hemisphere outside of Russia amount to 981,000.000 bushels, as compared with 711,000.000 bushels last year. Russia is reported to have a good crop of rye. The effect of a good crop of rye in Russia is to en courage exports of wheat and the ef fect of good rye crops in Germany and Poland is to reduce the import demand for wheat. The influence of this increase in production of wheat and rye as con pared with iast year is offset to some extent, however, by lower stocks at the beginning of the year and by the location of the increases in produc tion. At the beginning of the year European stocks of old wheat were reported to be very low, and the stocks in exporting countries as well as the quantity of wheat afloat were very much lower than at the beginning as last year. Most of the increases in production of both wheat and rye are in Europe, where increased produc tion will cause some increase in con sumption. Latest estimates indicate that the total European crop of wheat outside of Russia and a few unim portant producers not yet reported is 323.000.OnO bushels greater than last year and that the total European rye crop outside of Russia and a few small producers is 281,000,000 bushels greater than last year. Records of past years indicate very clearly that the European import requirements will not be reduced nearly so much as this increase in production. The fact remains, however, that the world supplies for the year appear to be somewhat larger than last year in re lation to the world's demands. The situation in the United States is markedly different from what it was last yeaY. The total production of wheat is but slightly greater than the quantity utilized in the' United States last year. Out of an estimated production of 873,000,000 bushels last year, the balance of exports amounted to 252.000,000 bushels, leaving 621, 000,000 bushels in the United States. In addition to this balance about 44, 000,000 bushels were drawn from stocks, indicating a total utilization in this country of approximately 655,000,000 busheis. Should the same quantity be utilized in the country this year, there would be only about 32,000,000 bushels of wheat for ex port without further reduction of stocks. Looking ahead, according to the tentions-to-plant" report, high prices have encouraged farmers to consider increasing the wheat acreage of the United States. In planning w-heat production the situation both in th United States and in the whole world should be considered. Even with the same acreage as laut year, a good average yield would place the United States on an export basis for most if not all classes of wheat. The trend of of production in mnry countries that compete with the United States is up ward. Production in European coun tries affected by the wtr is rapidly approaching pre-war statu-. Russia, a large exporter before tre war, is recovering. The wheat-producing areas of Argentina, Australia, Can ada are now 53 per cent above pre war average, and these countries have not yet reached their limit. Under these conditions, only poor crops in important foreign wheat-producing countries can result in a situation comparable to that of last year, when the farmers of the United State had a good crop which they sold at high prices. j legal or m.-rai right to disregard such i a hnd:r in the one case that we I wou'.d hsve in the other. "If we are going to support any court it w:U not be oneht we have set up a one or which reflects only our ideals. Neither will it be possi ble to supnort a court which is ex actly perfect, or under which we as ume abso utely no obligations. We shall rot find ourselves bearing a disproportionate share of the world's burdens by our adherence, and we reny as well remember that there is absolutely no escape for our country from bearing its share of the world's burdens in any case. In regard to the matter of foreign debts thst have not yet been funded, the President said, 'Every reasonable effort wiil be made to secure agree ments for liquidation with the re maining countries, whenever they are in such condition that they can be made." The President also touched upon the matter of alien property, the mat ter of immigration, and national de fense. On this latter subject the President stated that aviation is of great importance, and that the De partment of War, Navy, and Com merce, should each be provided with additional assistant secretary whose duties would be to give especial at tention to air navigation, both for na tional defense and commercial devel opment, and that we ought to proceed in its improvement by the necessary experiment and investigation. "Our country is not behind in this art. It has made records for speed and for the excellence of its planes. It ought to go on maintaining its manufactur ing plants capable of rapid produc tion, giving national assistance to the laying out of airways, equipping it self with a moderate number of planes and keeping an air force trained to the highest efficiency." The President, in discussing the veterans, said, "If anyone desires to estimate the esteem in which the vet erans of America are held by their fellow citizens, it is but necessary to remember that the current budget calls for an expenditure of about six hundred and fifty million dollirs in their behalf." Touching upon the matetr of agri culture, the President said, "No doubt the position of agriculture as a whole has very much improved since the de pression of three and four years ago. But there are many localities and many groups of individuals, apparent ly through no fault of their own, sometimes due to climatic conditions and sometimes to the prevailing price of a certain crop, still in a distress ing condition. This is probably tem porary, but it is none the less acute. National Government agencies, the Departments of Agriculture and Com merce, the Farm Loan Board, the in termediate credit banks, and the Fed eral Reserve Board are all cooperat ing to be of assistance and relief. "Agriculture is a very complex in dustry. It does not consist of one problem, but of several. They can not be solved at one stroke. They have to be met in different ways, and small gains are not to be despised. "From all the investigations that I have been able to make the farmers as a whole are determined to main tain the independence of their busi ness. They do not wish to have med dling on the part of the Government "or be placed under the inevitable re strictions involved in any system of direct or indirect price-fixing, which would result from permitting the Gov ernment to operate in the agricultural markets. They are showing a very commendable skill rn organizing themselves to transact their own bus iness through cooperative marketing, which will this year turn over about two billion five hundred million dol lars, or nearly one-fifth of the total agricutural business. In this they are receiving help from the Govern ment." The President said that Muscle Shoals had assumed a place all out of proportion with its real importance; that Muscle Shoals should be devel oped for the production of nitrates primarily, and incidentally for power purposes; that he favored disposing of this property to meet these pur poses; that the findings of the special commission appointed will be trans mitted to Congress. He is convinced that the best possible disposition can be made by direct authorization of Congress, The President stated that the Gov ernment is committed to a policy of reclamation and irrigation which it desires to establish on a sound basis and continue in the interest- of the localities concerned. Mr. Coolidge is in favor of the maintenance of a merchant marine for national defense and the service of our commerce. He favors the sell ing of the surplus supply of ships, which are costly to enre for. In the matter of the coal industry the President deprecates the fact that the public, wage earners, and owners, are feeling the effect of the perennial conflict in this industry. He says that the national govern ment has little or no authority to deal with this vital necessity of the life of the country; that authority should be lodged with the President and the Departments of Commerce and Labor, giving them power to deal with an emergency. In the matter of prohibition, the President says that it is the. law of the land; that it is the duty of all who come under its jurisdiction to observe the spirit of that law, and it is the duty of the Department of Jus tice and the Treasury Department to enforce it. The President pleads for a bene ficial waterway development. In the matter of railroads, the Pres dent recommended that wherever consolidation of railroads will result to the benefit of the country such consolidation should be authorized by Congress and carried out by the Interstate Commerce Commission. In regard to the negro the Presi dent said, "The progress which they have made in all the arts'of civiliza tion in the last 60 years is almost beyond belief. They do still need sym pathy, kindness and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the require ments of the Government and society to deal out to them even-handed jus tice will be met. They should be pro tected from all violence and support ed in the peaceable enjoyment of the fruits of their labor." In conclusion the President said the Government of the United States hns been created by the people. It is solely responsible to them. It will be most successful if it is conducted solely for their benefit. There must be an opportunity given to observe religion, secure education, and earn a living under a reign of law and or der. "We shall not be able to gain these ends merely by our own action. If they come at all, it will be because we have been willing to work in har mony with the abiding purpose of I Divine Providence." MARRIES STEPDAUGHTER. A marriage license was issued on last Thursday by County Clerk An derson to William H. Clark, 69, and Laura Pettyjohn, 19, both of this city.
