BOARD BIDS AGAIN
TO BUYJUWHEAT
Kansas City Organization Of
fers Export Price for 90,
000,000 Bushels.
By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, May 27.—Through
W. B. Lincoln, president of the Kansas
City Board of Trade, grain men here
yesterday repeated their offer to pur
chase the entire Farm Board holdings
of cash wheat at the price the board is
offering it at the Gulf and Atlantic
seaboard for export.
In again offering to purchase the sur
plus. estimated at 90,000.000 bushels,
the Kansas City grain men denied a
public statement of the board that the
private trade's purchase ofTer had been
at a figure IS to 20 cents below the
market.
Lincoln characterized the board's
statement as a gross misrepresentation
of facts.
“Realizing fully the depressing influ
ence of Government wheat,” he said,
“the grain men made numerous pro
posals seeking to get rid of this wheat
surplus, and the prevailing market price
has governed each offer made.
"At no time did the trade underbid
on this grain. The effect of this Gov
ernment surplus has so undermined
normal merchandising methods that we
had only the public interests and that
of the country at heart, so that confi
dence would be revived in our markets
to hasten the return of normalcy.”
SUSPENSION PROTESTED.
Head of Farmers’ National Grain Cor
poration Defends Updike Co.
CHICAGO. May 27 (#)■—C. E. Hufl.
president of the Farmers' National
Orain Corporation, last night described
as "not only far-fetched, but without
merit” the charges upon which the
Chicago Board of Trade suspended the
Updike Grain Co., a subsidiary of the
Farm Board-sponsored co-operative.
Denying that Updike officials made
false affidavits as to Updike stock
ownership, HufT said an affidavit filed
with the Board of Trade “clearly shows
Farmers' National Grain Corporation
to be the holder of the large majority
of the stock,” with HufT, Oeorge S.
Milnor, Farmers’ National general man
ager, and J. P. Florentine, Updike sec
retary, holding one share each and F.
J. Thatcher the remainder.
It was clearly inferred, he added,
that this was “for corporate conven
ience."
Florentine and Thatcher had their
trading privileges suspended by the
board.

ACREAGE INCREASE
CALLED NOMINAL
Agriculture Department Com
pares Figures With
Harvest Records.
Agriculture Department officials are
not greatly concerned over the 7,000,000
acre increase in world wheat acreage
over last year, as reported by the Inter
national Institute ol Agriculture in
Rome. They say it is not really an in
crease over last year's plantings.
They printed out that the 7.000,000
acre Increase in United States Spring
wheat is found in comparing farmers'
intentions to plant with the acreage
actually harvested last year, which was
reduced to 14,000,000 by drought and
heavy abandonment. The average acre
age planted in this area in recent years
is 21.000,000 acres, the amount ex
pected to be sown this Spring If inten
tions are carried out as reported.
United States Winter wheat acreage
remaining for harvest on May X was
32,277,000, as against 41,009,000 on the
corresponding date last year, a reduc
tion of more than 8,000,000.
