Wheat Imports
Jump Rapidly
United States Now Buys
40 Million Bushels From
Other Nations.
By FRANK RIDGWAY
Gears of international trade ma
chinery have been thrown in re
verse to the extent that the United
States is today the world’s largest
wheat importer, with the single ex
ception of Great Britain, including
North Ireland. In that regrettable
position this nation has imported
from foreign countries more than
40 million bushels of wheat within
the past year.
For at least 70 years, this coun
try had been a net exporter of
wheat. A dozen years ago, farm
ers bragged about selling to foreign
countries more than 259 million
bushels of wheat in one year, ex
ceeding the exports of any other
country in the world. Today, they
are forced to stand by and watch
foreign growers sell wheat to
America’s customers abroad. They
also are supplying a large part of
the market here at home.
Government Tinkering.
This revolutionary change has
been brought about not only by
drouths, but also by government
tinkering with production and for
eign trade policies. Had there been
no government meddling, our
growers would have had more
wheat to sell during the next 12
months when prices are expected i >
be higher than they have been for
several years.
After three years experience un
der a crop and livestock production
program dictated to them by offi
cials of a centralized government,
many practical farmers feel that
they would have done a better job
acting individually. They must pay
their share of the New Deal dole
money sent out to.individual farm
ers for reducing their production
which has contributed to the pres
ent predicament.
r armers naa Deen roia oy poiiN
cal planners that the reduced pro
duction of farm products, brought
about by adverse weather condi
tions and by the Agricultural Ad
justment Administration program,
had been good for them. As they
now stand looking backward, each
farmer is better able to appraise
for himself what the drouth and
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration did for him and decide
as an individual whether it has
been good or bad.
Pay Higher Prices.
Producers, working under vari
; ous handicaps, are now threshing
a wheat crop estimated to be ap
' proximately 638 million bushels,
more than 145 million bushels less
than the five-year average from
1929 to 1933. It will again be nec
essary for the United States to
bring in large quantities of hard
wheat to blend with soft wheat dur
ing the next year. Our millers will
be forced to pay a higher price
! plus 42 cents a bushel duty be
cause Canada’s whect crop is
short.
When the wheat drills start this
fall, many United States growers
are expected to make their own de
cisions as to the number of acres
they will plant and encourage
their neighbors to do likewise.

Another Old Settler
Taken by Death
Mrs. Wilhelma Richter died at
ler home northeast of this city
Wednesday afternoon about four
o’clock, after an illness of several
weeks of infirmities due to old age,
at the age of 80 years, 1 month and
13 days. The funeral will be held
on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock
with services at the home conduct
ed by Rev. A. J. May of the Meth
odist church and burial in the
:emetery at Scottville.
Mrs. Richter was born at Wien
dorf, Germany, on June 22, 1856.
She grew to womanhood there and
in 1873 she was united in marriage
to Frederick Richter, the ceremony
being peformed at Wiendorf. To
this union five childen were born,
all of whom are living and are
esidents of the northeastern part
of the county. The children are:
Mrs. Joseph Schollmeyer, Fred,
Charles and Ernest Richter, of
Dorsey and Mrs. Ralph Chase and
Mrs. Frank McDonald, of O’Neill.
She also leaves 26 grandchildren
and 9 great grandchildren to mourn
the passing of a kind and indul
gent mother and grandmother.
Shortly after their marriage the
family came to the United States
and settled in Wisconsin and came
to this county from that state in
the fall of 1886, and since that
time, with the exception of about
five years Mrs. Richter had been
a resident of this county—nearly
fifty years, and on the same farm
in the northeastern part of the
county. She was a kind and in
dulgent mother and raised a splen
did family of children, the boys all
being prominent in athletic events,
in this county for over a quarter)
of a century. She had many
fiends in the eastern part of the
county who will regret to learn of
her passing.
Chicago. — Threatened with
the establishment of a radical
government—“a sort of New
Deal on the American pattern” 4
—France is experiencing a wave 1
of public fear that is described
by Howard Wood, prominent
economic writer, as similar to the
financial panic which swept the
United States between the election
of the New Deal in November, 1932,
and the date of the inauguration in
March, 19,13.
“In France,” Mr. Wood reports,
“the ‘little fellows’ are trying to
protect their savings by hoarding.
Runs on the banks have reduced
deposits. Capital is leaving France
as fast as there are ships available
to carry gold. Disclosure of plans
to ‘soak the thrifty’ and schemes
for vast political expenditures have
intensified the scramble.
“Similarly in the United States,”
Mr. Wood adds, ‘‘the panic did not
begin until the interval between
the election of the New Deal and
the date of Its taking office, and
culminated in the nation-wide bank
moratorium of March, 1933.”
Observers of business and Indus
trial conditions have already estab
lished the fact that the low point
of the depression was passed dur
ing the summer of 1932, and the up
ward climb to prosperity was al
ready under way in the fail of the
year. Fears that arose from the
proposals of New Dealers brought
on the panic.
