SLUMP II EXPORT
MAKES WHEAT
State College Man (Jives Information
Regarding the <" ion of the
Wheat .Market
• With wheat playing a leading
role among the producers of farm
nroducts in the Northwest, and with
farmers carrying a vast load, await
higher prices, all information
available should be known by the
farmers," says R. N. Miller, farm
management demonstrator, of the
State College of Washington. "While
in general all kinds of farm produce
have fallen rapidly in selling price,
the same can be said of prices of
manufactured goods. The greatest
drop in PJ"ice commodity, is that of
wool.
From a dizzy heigh of nearly a
dollar a pound, wool has dropped un
til there is scarcely a quotation at
the present time. Sugar has like
wise tumbled headlong from 27 to
nine cents. Wheat that sold for
12.20 in the summer is now a drug
on the market at $1.35. What are
the world's needs and the supply of
this commodity?"
"According to the most reliable in
formation that can be obtained, the
following can be stated: All accounts
point to some reduction of European
import needs, owing to the use of
substitutes, fall" crops and higher
milling percentages. The Bureau of
Markets places the last year's con
sumption of wheat and rye at 26 per
cent below the pre-war average. The
International Institute in October,
placed 1920 production in European
importing countries (excluding Ger
many and Poland) at 632,000,000
' bushels as against 602,000,000 bush
els in 1919.
"From all available Information it
would seem that the world import
I demand is 575 to 625 million bush
els for the year ending .Inly I. 1921.
The exportable surplus for the C. S.
has been placed by Bradstreel at 250
million bushels, by the Bureau of
Markets at 202 million bushels, and
by other reliable sources at 230 to
250 million bushels, Canada at 160
to 200 million bushels, Argentina at
about 100 million bushels and all oth
er countries at 200 million bushels.
To sum up all reports it seems that

the supply about equals or exceeds
the demands. '
"Since in the world there is DO
great excess of wheat over probable
requirements; ordinarily the Amer
ican grower would look for fairly
maintained prices but the conditions
have been modified by steadily fall
ing prices; by lack of transportation;
by reason of great crops id' coin and
oats; and by the tact that many coun
tries are In no position to buy grain.
The sum total of all conditions have
operated to reduce prices.
"Many farmers have asked about
the amount of wheat that his been
imported from Canada. The Bureau
of Markets figures show that during
i the 10 months preceding November
' 1920, these imports amounted to
14,249,121 bushels. During this
time we exported to Canada l 3,989,
--321 bushels. From these figures it
would seem that'the Imports did ma
greatly exceed the exports. These
figures are given to show that Ca
nadian wheat has come to this coun
try, and that there is a general ex
change of the commodity."
"We are, and have been, steadily
selling lor export. From July I to
November 1 of last year we had ex
ported about 140 million bushels.
Our export sales are and have been
running over a million bushels per
day. About the middle of the spring
the exportable surplus should be sold
out, and just what may develop in
the spring is a matter of conjecture.
Everything considered it would not
seem unreasonable to expect prices to
lie as good or better than at present.

Means curing the backache, the

troubles.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for this
very purpose. Ask your neighbor!
Here is Pullman testimony of
their worth.
Mrs. W. O. Starr. 07 E. Main St.,
says: "I was ailing with kidney
trouble here some five years ago. I
had severe pains through my kidneys
and nights I was unable to sleep, be
ing in misery all the time. My kid
neys acted too often and I suffered
from awful pains in the back of my
head. I also felt worn-out. Hear
ing about Doan's Kidney Pills, I
bought three boxes from White's
Drug Store, and they relieved me of
the backache, and made my kidneys
healthy. The pains left my head
and I felt years younger."
