Washington With many millions of bushels of America's wheat sur plus going into feed troughs, Chair man Legge of the farm board believes now is the time for millers and stock feeders to buy. He estimated Wed nesday that 200,000,000 of 'the sur plus would be used this year for feeding at the present rate. McKelvie, using th same esti mate for feeding, provided a parity continue Deiween wneat ana corn prices, estimated the carryover when another crop comes would only be 120,000,000 bushels. This would compare with a carryover July 1 this year of 275.000,000 bushels. The possibility that Russia would return to her prewar position as a wheat exporter within five years, perhaps sooner, was seen by Legge. He emphasized that insofar as wheat was concerned, production in this country should be reduced to domestic needs. ANNOUNCE FORTH COMING MARRIAGE Mr. and Mrs. A. M.
