of the year are not bright, official
expectations being that It will remain
at about the present level. Produc
tion of all crops this year la Indi
cated at considerably above the rec
ord low levels of 1934 and because
cf this "It may be anticipated that
the average level of farm commod
ity prices will tend to adjust Itself
to the Increased supplies In the lat
ter months." the bureau of agricul
tural economics says. It adds that
the Increased marketings, even at
lower prices per bushel and per
pound, probably will maintain the
Income level.
No Export Increase Seen
No large Increase In export demand
for American farm products Is ex
pected during the latter half of the
year despite trade treaties and other
efforts at stimulation. Trade experts
hold that while these have only a
slight effect and a large potential
ability to restore trade now, consid
erable more time will be required
to break down foreign resistance to
American farm exports.
Wheat production Is estimated at
670,000,000 bushels compared with
496,469.000 bushels 'last year and
860,570.000 for the 1928-32 average.
Corn production is expected to be
slightly below the five-year average
but considerably above last year s
crop, although much of it may be
soft due to poor growing conditions
now being encountered In parts ol
the corn belt.
Oats production is forecast at
1.200,000,000 bushels compared with
628.815.000 bushels last year and
1.217,646,000 bushels for the five year
average.
