4). egood, and hi SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1927 - By Rex E. Willard, Wheat Outlook The price of the 1927 wheat crop cannot be expected to be higher than that for 1926 unless there is a mate- rial reduction in production. Th relatively high price for hard spring wheat of late has been due to a par- tial failure of the crop in some sec- tions. The high price of durum ha‘ \ been caused by the shortage of this “ ‘at in Northern Africa and Southern italy. There has been 4 slight increase in gthe planting of hard winter wheat this past fall and average yields next summer wil bring a produe- tion somewhat above the 10-ygar average. The world carry-over of all wheat is very much greater than that of a year ago. The world wheat acreage in 1926 was the largest since the war and was probably the gre: est ever sown. Under such condi- tions it does not seem likely that with a normal yield in 1927 wheat production will be very profitable. Th abnormally high prices of wheat following the 1924 crop and contin- uing through 1925 were due to an accident of production in that the United States had a good crop-~and most of the other wheat producing countries were short. Such an oc- currence is so infrequent in past wheat history that it can scarcely be depended upon to occur again soon. Winter wheat plantings last fall were 5 per cent higher than a year ago and 8 per cent over that of the Wrevious year. Hard winter wheat growers increased their fall plant- ings 6.5 per cent. If the same acreage of durum is planted this spring a crop about equal to the 7-year average may be expec ed. While durum 1s scarce now, in- creased competition is expected from Canada and Russia.

Flax Outlook The price of flax for the 1927 crop will probably be no higher than for the 1926 cron because of the exceed- ingly large crop just harvested in Argentina, The United States will probably consume between 35 million and 40 million bushels during the coming year which ig about twice! the amount that we produce. Thej import duty of 40 cents per bushel prevents the price from falling to a point below this amount above the) world price, The Argentina crop is placed at 69 million bushels, which is nearly as large as lastsyear’s crop. The world crop is placed at 5 per cent less than| that of last year but.the carry-over is considerably larger. India ex- ported abont 11 million bushels in 1926, Where flax is seeded on land that is reasonably sure to produce 9 bushels or more per acre it will prob- ably be profitable. It would seem unwise to plant flax on any but clean land, and wilt-resistant seed only should be used. Rye Outlook The price of rye for the 1927 crop should be about on present levels unless large yields are made. The world acreage is somewhat less than The acreage in the United States /is slightly larger than last year, but is nearly the lowest that it has been in ten years. The crop of rye in the United States does not have relatively a very big effect on the price because. of the fact that we produce only about 47 million bushels on the average com- pared tg a world crop of about’ 800 million bushels. The world crop for vas 20 per cent less than that of 1925 and the carry-over is likely to be small. This accounts for the present relatively high price: strom home.

The state assembly yesterday passed a bill which would legalize open gambling and sent it to the senate after two hours’ hot. de- bate. The vote was 20 to 15. The bill would give games, of chance a legal status by licensing gambling tables and taxing them $1,000 a year each. It would per- mit, faro, roulette, black jack, crapa and the whole outlay of lady luck. For sixteen years Nevada has had state laws against gambling, but in some communities they ad- mittedly have not been enforced. Advocates of the bill argued the state would profit to the extent of $400,000 yearly from the gambling that goes on regardless of the present laws. Its opponents de- nied this vigorously and main- tained that the vice would beeome rampant if legalized. A sizzling fight in the senate is expected.
