Europe, despite high Import duties on wheat, will remain this year a potential export market for American growers, Nat C. Mur ray, crop statistician, told the ociety of grain elevator superintendents of North America. Murray said import duties in the last five years on wheat into Germany were $1.62 a bushel, into France ?1.42 and into Italy 78 cents a bushel. "Nevertheless," he said, "because in these countries agri culture practices intensive farming and has an excess of labor, they will remain customers for wheat raised in the United States where land is cheap and expansive, which wheat needs." He said Indications are that Eu rope will have 300 million bushels less this year than last, and corres pondingly larger requirements. But the United States will be no great export factor this year, he asserted, because prices for several years have been above export prices and this con dition has been accentuated by a pros pective short crop and government efforts to reduce the surplus. H. T. Corson, of the national grain food bureau, assailed the failure of the government to stimualte domes tic consumption as a means of talc ing care of the surplus. FIVE HELD FOR AUTO THEFI Omaha. Five men are charged in federal warrants issued here with violation of the Dyer auto theft act and held under $1,500 bond each for the federal grand jury after they had pleaded not guilty when arraigned before Commissioner Mullen.

Spokesmen who said they represented 30,000 sugar beet growers in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin protested against the use of 1934 beet sugar marketing al lotments as the basis for similar al lotments in future year. In' a statement filed at the office of Secretary Wallace, they said the 1931 allotment would require grow ers in the so-called eastern area to reduce their crop five and one-third times the rate of reduction farther west. Remember "Father" with one of the handsome cards that can be found at a wide range of prices at the Bates Book store. Report Says American Crops at a Low Level Starting with Wheat Production All Crops Show Decreases Great est in Many Years. The report of the U. S. government on the crop conditions of the coun try Indicate that the wheat yield this year will be the lowest since 1S93 and that all crops promise to show decided reductions. The crop report ing board of the department of agri- J culture said the nation's wheat crop ; probably would not exceed 500 mil lion bushels. Winter wheat produc tion was estimated at 400,357,000 bushels. The spring wheat output was set at 100 million bushels, but was regarded as "still very uncer tain" due to heavy loss of acreage because of the drouth. This will mean that the United States win have to dip into stocks of stored grain, now totaling about 2C0 million bushels to supply the normal domes tic consumption of 625 million bush els. The June 1 report on crop condi tions showed heavy losses of early grains and hay, a "record low condi tion" of pastures and low levels of milk and egg production. Oats, bar ley and rye showed heavy losses of acreage and "exceptionally low" condition figures for this season of the year, the oats crop being esti mated at less than 700 million bush els, the lowest since 1893. No comparable June in the na tion's history was found by the crop reporting board in preparing this month's analysis. The condition of various crops on June 1 compared with the lowest previous records In cluded: Winter wheat, 55.9 percent, One case of the latter, Gmmlich said, ha3 been reported from Custer coun ty and several from Thurston coun ty but most of the other methods he has seen in recent travels over the state preparatory to planning a live stock drouth relief campaign. "Most of our highways," he said, "are four rods wide and usually there is a rod on each side which can be grazed. Normally farmers wouldn't be concerned but this year these stretches are being utilized. Tins condition is pretty general over the state except in the sandhills." Graz ing along railroad tracks has been less frequent because farmers have to stay with their stock more closely but Gramlich said available pastur age of this sort is being used. rdinarily wild hay meadows are saved for cutting late in the sum mer for horse hay, he said, but the shortage of pasturage has resulted in pasture use of such meadows. Where burned winter wheat has not been pastured, Gramlich said In many cases it 13 being mowed and put up for hay. Usually cattle would not go nar straw piles but he said thin year the cattle are eating the straw for rough age over much of the South I'latt" territory when; considerable wheat i s raised. In noimal years, farmers burn their straw stacks in tho ppring but few have burned this year, he added. TO CHOOSE THEIR UNION Omali3, June S.
