AUGUST 29. 1940. Washington. Aug. 29 (IP World wheat acreage in 1941 probably will remain the tame as this year, the bureau of agri cultural economics predicted to day. Prices in this country should hold "to a considerable extent independent of prices in other countries" as long as the gov ernment loan and subsidy pro gram continues, the survey said. The world acreage, exclud ing Soviet Russia and China, was estimated at 27S.000.000 acres. Unless it is reduced or the yield is small, large world supplies will continue, the bur eau reported. It predicted U. S. production would reach 750.000,000 bush els from 62,000.000 acres leav ing "about 50.000.000 bushels for export or addition to carry over after deducting a 10-year average disappearance of about 700.000.000 bushels." "On this basis," the bureau continued, "the carry-over at the close of the 1941-42 season would be very little different from that at the beginning, when it is expected to be 300. 000,000 bushels or more. Large prospective carry-over stocks on July 1, 1941, assure ample sup plies of milling wheats for the year beginning at that time." The domestic wheat supply based on Aug. 1 crop conditions was set at 1,045.000,000 bush els, including 7fll.000.000 bush els from the 1940 crop and a carry-over of 284,000.000 bush els. Domestic disappearance was estimated at 700.000,000 bush els, leaving 345.000.000 bushels available for export or carry over as of next July 1. Export prospects were described as "very uncertain-" World supplies for the year opening July 1 were forecast at 100.000.000 to 150,000,000 bush els below the record supply of 5,445,000,000 bushels a year ear lier. The world carry-over on July 1, 1940, was believed about 215,000.000 bushels larger than the 1,175.000,000 bushel carry over on July 1, 1939.

She won North American Women's title four straight. FREIGHT CUT Seattle. Aug. 29. W) A. M. Groseclose, chairman of the northwest perishable traffic bur eau, estimated today Washing ton and Oregon pear growers will save $112,000 this year through a railroad rate cut. The rate revision, he said, was made possible by raising the minimum shipment to which the rate applies from 34,000 to 36, 000 pounds. "The railroad's return is ac tually increased from $1.20 a car from $510 to 11.20 percent but the grower gets the bene fit of the cut in the box rate, which is all that he's interested in. It's Just as easy to load 36, 000 pounds into a car as 34, 000." He said the new rate of $1.42 per 100 pounds would be a cut of four cents on every 50-pound box. IN STATE LEADS BASIC INDUSTRY Portland, Aug. 29. P) Mining advances probably have been more rapid than any other basic Oregon industry, Earl K. Nixon, director of the state de partment of geology and min eral industries, reported today. A federal bureau of mines survey showed the state's pro duction of metallic minerals and ores mounted 16.6 percent in value from 1938 to 1939. Nixon predicted a 50 percent gain this year compared with 1939. Including the value of non metallic production for this year of about $6,000,000, Ore gon's total mineral production will be well in excess of $10,- 000.000 perhaps nearer $12,- 000.000, Nixon explained. The actual value of gold, quicksilver, lead, zinc and cop per produced in Oregon last year was $3,828,243 compared with $3,282,970 in 1939. Non- metallic mineral production, in cluding limestone for cement. stone, gravel diatomite and others cannot be exactly stated until later, the director said. Nixon traced the rapid ad vance to the sharp rise in quicksilver production to an estimated value of about $1,- 650,000 in 1940 and to the in crease in the number of gold dredges now in operation. The Bonanza mine near Sutherlin is the largest quicksilver produc ing mine in the United States. Counting gold producers only in 1939, there were 116 under ground quartz producers, 15 dredges, 13 non-floating wash ing plants, 76 hydraulic gold producers, 13 underground drift placers and miscellaneous to bring the total placer producers to 201 for the year. Baker county was the largest gold producer and Grant county second. Nixon's study revealed. Bombay. Aug. 29. (IP) The first move of a new civil dis obedience campaign against Great Britain for refusing to grant India immediate indepen dence was begun today at Cawn pore, home of the Indian nation alist leader Pawaharlal Nehru. Defying the government's ban against organized drill by volunteer societies, volunteers of the All-India Congress, which Nehru heads, decided to offer themselves for arrest in groups. Eleven congress volunteers drill daily in Cawnpore's Shrad hanand park.
