Wheat Carryover Is Put at Huge Figure Washington, April 25.—()—Depart- ment of agriculture officials envis- aged Wednesday a 340,000,000 bushel wheat carryover into 1935 and busily scanned export markets for a possible outlet for some of it. The department woud like to hold the carryover to 250,000,000 bushels on July 1, 1935, which would still be twice the normal figure. Development of an export policy, however, hangs on the outcome of the international wheat conference at Rome, particularly as it may affect minimum world prices and export subsidies. Wallace has suggested that taxes on wheat might be increased and that the amount of the tax earmarked to promote ex- ports might be raised from 2 to 4 or even 5 cents. A five-cent tax on the 400,000,000 bushel yearly of taxable wheat would return approximately $20,000,000 compared with the $7,000,- 000 to be spent in exporting wheat this year.
