Critical Points in the Wheat Situation WORLD scabs not buck AGauiMlWAl WUNDOTOK WHERE MOST OF THE WORLDS WHEAT Wheat growers musl take a world wide view of crop prospects if their decisions as to when to sell are to he wisely made. says the Sears Itoebuck Agricultural Foundation The domes tic price of wheal probably is more strongly in Hue need by crop conditions id distant parts of the world than is true of any other important farm product Strength iu wheat prices durliiu the spring has been due to special develop ments in all imjMiriant wheal countries. f>routh prevailed over the hard wheal sections of Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas Excessive rains in Canada de layed spring wheat planting o|?era tions and prevented sealing a full acreage. In Argentina and Australia, where planting fall wheat was taking place, the weather was too dry Some of the countries of Europe, including Russia, reported that the season was cold and backward. Final estimates on the 11127 crop in India indicated but little wheat for export from that country. The remainder of the HUB crop was passing into consumption j<i an unexpectedly high rate, suggesting only a moderate carryover. In recent years, the United States has produced an average of 8.0 mil iiou bu.sheis of wheat, of which up proximately 22 |*?r cent, or 17.r? million bushels, had to be sold abroad This ? ?utiir\ furnished only about one- 1 fourth of the wheat rc quired by Im porting countries. The balance cam* ?-iiieti\ from Canada. which produced i an average of tt!lO million bushels ami exported 28f? uiiilbni. from Argentina1 which produced 210 minion bushels and ex|>orted IKo million, and from Australia which produced 1.15 million bushels and exported AO million bush els. Small amounts were exported fi Jin Russia the ltalkan countries of Hungary. Yugoslavia. Rumania and Ktiliraria. and from India. This wheat Is shipped principally to central and western Kumpe. The United King dom, Italy. France and Belgium are the leading lni|>orter.s. Oriental coun tries also import some wheal. The world price level for wheat Is determined by the relation between the surpluses available in the exporting countries and the needs of importiug countries. Since the presence of a surplus keeps domestic prices in line with world prices, the wheat producer In the United States Is almost as much conivrned in the yield in Australia as in the size of the domestic crop. ?orid production of wheat averages about 3,700.1 M 10.000 bushels. A fluctu ation of 150 to 2(H) million bushels either way means the difference be tween a year of high prices and a year of low prices.
