In those years uhe av erage production of Winter wheat v/as 551 million bushels. Last year the farmers of the nation produced 787 million bushels. No wonder wheat prices stayed down! This year there will be only 458 niillion bushels of Winter wheat to fuppiy the market’s needs. That will inevitably result in a better price, probably a_ profitabe price, for those who have it to sell.'Near ly 14 per cent of the lands which have been devoted to wheat grow- ing were not sown for this year’s crop. Drought in the Great Plains area is largely responsible for this fact, however, rather than mtelli- cent foresight on the part of wheat farmers. The importance of anything which will tend to give any con siderable part of the nation’s farm ers a better price.and a larger pro fit extends to everybody.
