WHEAT ACREAGE
%iI
CAN'T BE OYEBDOM
EXHAUSTION OF RESERVES CALLS
FOR HEAVY CROP.
With Greatly Increased Acreage and
Yield the Price Will Hardly Fall Be
low 80 Cents, in the Opinion of Lead
ing Local AuthoritiesCoarse Grains
Not a Certain Prospect.
The northwest has the opportunity
this year to seed the largest grain acre
age that it has put under cultivation in
many years. April conditions have
been so favorable that the normal
wheat seeding will be finished this
month, while in recent years it has
been well into Mav before the work has
been done. This leaves open the early
part of May for a tlioro completion of
seeding operations.
Wheat continues to be the chief
among northwest crops. There has
been a good deal of diversification in
recent years, and barley and oats have
come in for general cultivation. The
result has been that there has not been
sufficient wheat" raised for the north
west demand, and the country as a
whole reports as left over from the last
crop the smallest surplus in its his
tory. With this small surplus of wheat
in the country at the close of this
crop, there is "suggested to the farmers
of the northwest a problem that may
be of importance from a revenue stand
point next fall. A good many in the
grain trade would like to see a large
wheat acreage this year, not because
thev think a large yield would reduce
the' price materially from present basis,
but because they think it would place
the country on a normal basis as to
Europe and the different sections at
home. The country can produce from
fifty to seventy-five millions more than
last year without depressing the open
ing price on the crop, in the judgment
of good observers. The cleaning up of
reserves this year will call for a con
siderable amount from the next crop
to equal the supplies at the beginning
of the last crop.
Prices on New Crop.
Sixty and seventy-cent wheat seems
to be far away in the opinion of lead
ers in the trade. The wheat market is
believed to be on an 80-cent basis, if
not higher, for the coming crop, regard
less of what may be raised, and should
any accident happen the price might
ruie well up to a dollar, as it did on the
1903 crop. I this view of the case it
is believed the northwest farmers could
sow a full acreage of wheat to ad
vantage.
The barley market has not been fav
orable for best results the last year, and
there is an impressjon that there will
be a decrease in the barley acreage.
Oats are likely to hold their own with
last year and an increase in wheat
acreage is anticipated.
Full Acreage Desirable.,
H. V. Jones, when asked today for
an opinion on selection of the crops
for seeding, said:
"The question is important and the
farmer should give it careful consider
ation. A full wheat acreage this year
in the northwest would bring good
average results to all interests, includ
ing the farmer. I is too early to
forecast crop results, but it would seem
to be a reasonable proposition that if
the country increases last year's produc
tion 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 bushels,
it is about all we can hope for. On that
basis low prices are not to be antici
pated. W have exhausted reserves,
and the new crop should start in
at 75. cents, unles's, by a miracle,
production' is increased up to 700,000,-
000 bushels. The principal competitor of
wheat on the seeding finish will be flax.
Looking at supplies alone, it would
seem unnatural to expect fall flax to
hold at $1.25 with another large Crop
to take care of. There is jiearly a
year's supply left over in the country
now, and if the northwest sows liber
ally to flax, it is not a reasonable prop
osition to expect the price to hold at
$1.25, where October is wow quoted. I
realize there is a contest this year be
tween independent crushers and the
American Linseed company, the former
desiring a full acreage in order to give
them a supply of flax at a price that
would Cn'able them to compete advan
tageously with the linseed company.
This is a perfectly natural position for
the independents to take, but the real
question is whether it would be a good
proposition for the farmers to overload
with flax acreage to settle a quarrel be
tween* oilmakers, when by a moderate
flax acreage they can realize a good
price for flax, and with a full acreage
of wheat, a good price also for wheat.
A fair flax acreage ought to give to
the independents, their supply. The
northwest is yet" essentially a wheat
country, just as Iowa and Illinois are
essentially com states. W need
cliversifi cation of crops, but 'nkyb "to
the point that the chief crop is cur
tailed until it takes from the farmer a
home market for a great staple thru
its flour mills. I is of greatest im
portance to northwest farmers that we
raise enough wheat to enable the flour
mills to maintain an export trade.
Iowa has diversification, but it remains
a corn state. The farmers should fill
out their late sowings with a good per
centage of Wheat if this theory is cor-
rect."
"Permit me to make one reference at
this time on another line. The great
break in wheat prices leaves north
western aredit without a tarnish. The
northwest -kept aloof from the en
tanglements of the wheat deal not
a single firm was involved. The Cham
ber of Commerce has again demon
strated its ability to maintain the legit
imate side of the grain business. The
millers, the elevator companies and Ihe
brokers come out clean."
