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.

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.
