Amazing conclu sions prepared by Orange Judd. Atlantr, Oa., October 8. 191Z, Serious shortage exlsta in the world's crop of grain for 1913. The supply is nearly 10 per cent less than last year. The total deficiency ^Mi .aggregates 1,250 million bushels oi the five grain stup'es. This shortage is not made t*p by potatoes, the world's supply of which is no greater than last year, end 300 mltlioD bushels less than the world's normal potato crop of 1910. These amazing conclusions ar< : of prices, prepared by Orange Judd indicated by the preliminary report upon world's crops and the future Southern Farm nc of Atlanta as ol October 1st, This authority etuphaI sizes that the four brealstuBs? wheat, oat*t rye and barley?will this year than in 1912. 70 million .bushels less than two years ago but ? per cent more than in tht ; 1910 crop. . I Ample Supply of Wltciit. ] "Unless Russia ..and Argentina ^conclude tlTe~*year with much greater yields than now seems possible." Southern Farming says, "the world's wheat production will be only about 100 m.llion bushels more than last year " This will be an increase of only 3 per cent over the s ipplr oi 'wheal nnrdiw.vl world In 11* 12. j Of this increase, 50 million bushel* is duo to the extent of which the bonanza wheat crop of the United States and Canada exceeds laot [year's out-turn. Southern Farming preliminarily returns the Russian crop as 7l>0 million bushels, which has s.nce beets' continued By Tfie Russian govern| nient's ori'.cia! pronunriamento oi 690 million. This is in sharp contrast to the apparently misleading., and erroneous forecast put out in late August h.v the Intel national Institute , of Agriculture at Rome of S!2 million bushels as the Russian crop. l.urgo Deficient y in Itye. Of grave importance also fa the European"shoitage in rye. Recausc even more than wheat, is rye the breadstuff of the teeming million# oi Europe. Southern Farming finds thai Europe may alive only 1.7M million bushels of rye of the 1913 crop, oi 130 million bushe's less thau last year. The deficit may be still largei if latest cable advices from Rus?ift was expected. Heavy Redact "on on Oats Prop The'shortage in the world's supply of oats bids fair to be greater than was exptctpd. With a small crop In North America than last year by more than' 300 rolllon bushels, and with another 100 million deficit elsewhere, the ~ world's crop of oats may be 10 pet ^ ?.. . cent less than last year, a decrease oi 400 million bushels. Southern Farm- ! Ing reaches this conclusion in spite of'allowtng that Russia ha# the most prodigious oats crop in its history ?1,000 million bushels. Barley is much less than usual far North America, but the world's total yield may come up to the normal amount. Ample Market at Good Price* It appears from official returns of the actual movement of grain thai only abont 16 per cent of the world's total wheat crop Is consumed outslda of the countries of production. These consuming countries at* !*' Great Britain an^ Europe east jof Russia which Is the very region that suffers the heaviest relative deficiency In 191S grain crops.
