CANADIAN WHEAT (ROPTOBE SMALL Estimate of 170.000,000! Bushels May Be Reduced by Drought. BY H. J. HANSELL, Market Editor, Winnipeg Tribune. WINNIPEG, Minn,, July 14 (N.AN. A.).—Continued drought in the prairie provinces indicates a 1937 wheat crop of not more than 170,000,000 bushels and sent wheat prices soaring on the exchanges today Having in *mind the difficulty “of making an accurate forecast at pres- ent, for no break in the main drought area is s0 far indicated, deterioration in adjacent territory is spreading and other crop hazards still have to be faced, I tentatively place wheat pro- duetion by provinces as follows: Manitoba, 45,000,000; Saskatche- ‘wan, 50.000,000; Alberta, 75,000,000. And this estimate is subject to later downward revision for, while there have been some fairly general showers in Alberta and occasional rains in Northern Saskatchewan, the crop needs far more moisture to hold its present condition. It is now possible, unfortunately, to state with conviction that, under the most favorable grow- ing conditions for the balance of the meason, prairie wheat production will not. materially exceed this estimate. Good soaking rains in Saskatchewan and in Alberta and an’ escape from serious rust damage in Manitoba are | required to prevent a further drastic cut By Jove!

A general decline, | though less drastic, was noted for Alberta Manitoba came close to maintaining its record of three weeks ARO, with a present condition of 96 per cent, as compared with the pre- viously reported 100 per cent. There is official confirmation of this situa- tion in the latest report of the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, though a slightly different period was coy- ered. Outlook Is Doubtful, These figures at least show how Aubious is the present erop situation in the prairie provinces, particularly in Saskatchewan; less precarious but ‘¥ enll problematical in Alberta. With regard to Manitoba, the rust menace is a real one. The spores of this disease have been found at a i number of points. Development is entirely a matter of weather condi- tions during the next few weeks, Tn Manitoba there is an acreage elase to 1.000.000 acres of durum wheat. This variety is less susceptible @ to rust infection than others such as * ceres or reward. Also, about 250.000 acres of rust-resistant Thatcher wheat will help 1o offset the rust menace. In | other words, nearly half the wheat Aereage of the province stands a good ohance of resisting rust. It takes mois-, | ture. followed by hot and humid weather, to make black rust a danger § Harvesting to Be Complete. My tentative estimate takes iInto account a number of minor considera- tions which causes it to be somewhat higher than other figures given out.

Nevertheleas, moisture governs the size of & crop to an extent that is not properly apprectated. My estimate was based on condition rather than moisture records. But it is interest- ing to note that as“at July 31 a year ago, with a weigited Fall and Spring wheat moisture percentage of 67, prairie wheat production was 212,000,- 000 bushels. The moisture percen- tage up to July 1 this year was 63. Therefore, even if the present condi- tion is maintained, which will mean abundant moisture for the balance of July, the crop would work out at less STAR, WASHINGTON, hazards, including rust, in the offing, I fear that my tentative estimate must be regarded as on the hopeful side.
