t PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TVEDNTSDAY. JULY 31. 1940. PLENTY GRAIN IN E T SO E Merchandisers Face Hard Task Finding Sufficient Storage for Heavy XJrops By Franklin Mullln. Chicago, July 31. (P) The North American granary prom ises to be overflowing soon, with merchandiser! facing the task of finding lufficient stor age space for huge surpluses of bread grain and feed. In sharp ' contrast, Europe's grain crops are sub-normal, the war-torn continent faces an acute shortage in animal feed, and some localities may feel the pinch of inadequate food supplies unless available sup plies are proportionately dis tributed. This, grain experts pointed out today, offers a striking il lustration of world economic maladjustment due to the war a maladjustment likely to continue as long as hostilities last or even longer if normal , international trade cannot be restored. Huge Surplus In U. S. In North America an esti mated exportable surplus of wheat alone exceeding 600,000. 000 bushels, largest on record, is expected to be piled up when harvesters finish. This is enough grain to satisfy Kurope's nor mal import requt-ments for more than a year. Meanwhile, Europe, exclusive of Russia, is harvesting its first seriously deficient crop since i JO estimated to be more than 20 per cent smaller than last year's. The total North American supply is expected to exceed 1,600,000,000 bushels, second largest in history. Canada Crowded. Canada has a record breaking carryover of wheat and the largest growing acreage on rec ord. With more than 230,000, 000 bushels on hand and a 400,000.000 bushel crop In pros pect, dominion officials have been forced to place a partial embargo on shipments from country to terminals already crowded with supplies. ' The United States will carry over 280,000,000 bushels of old wheat and have more than 700,000,000 bushels of the new crop. In addition, its carry over of corn will be the largest on record, with more than 400. 000,000 bushels involved in the government loan program alone.
