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.

CITY OF J'VILLE
Melisa Cameron seeks $782
from the city of Jacksonville,
the value of stored alfalfa hay,
destroyed by fire June 10, when
a structure owned by the city
of Jacksonville also burned, in
a suit filed in circuit court yes
terday. The plaintiff according to the
complaint, rented half of a build
ing used last September as a
storage shed, as a place to keep
the hay. The rental was $S
per month, to be paid when the
hay was sold.
It is alleged Jacksonville was
negligent in not keeping down
the grass and weeds around the
shed and allowed debris and
hubbish to accumulate. Last
June the grass and weeds caught
fire and burned the shed and
contents, including 66 tons of
hay.
Attorneys George M. Roberts
and William M. McAllister rep
resent the plaintiff.
