MONDAY, NOV. 11, 1935. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI . WEEKLY JOUBNAL PAGE THT.EE Australian Wheat Crop to be Much Short Harvesting will Beach Its Peak Soon Carryover is Negligible No Export to United States. The 1935-36 wheat crop in Aus tralia will again be below the aver age, although possibly slightly high er than last year's production, ac cording to a cable received by the Lureau of agricultural economics ircm the international institute of agriculture at Rome. The first official estimate places the crop at 135,000,000 bushels from 11,970,000 acres, compared with 133, 4S9.000 bushels from 12,567,000 acres in 1934-35. The estimate is about 27 per cent below the average produc tion of 184,471,000 bushels for the five years 1929 to 1934. Harvesting of the new crop is un der way in several sections, but will not be at its peak until some time the middle or latter part of this month. The domestic utilization of wheat in Australia averages around 55,000, 000 bushels annually. Since the old crop carry-over at the end of the cur rent season on November 30, is ex pected to be negligible, the surplus available for export and for carry over during 1936 will be about S0, 000,000 bushels compared with 118, 000,000 bushels in 1935 and 134, 000,000 bushels in 1934. Australian wheat exports go large ly to the United Kingdom, China and Japan, with very little coming to the United States. The reduction of 5 per cent in wheat acreage this year was due chiefly to uncertainty of world wheat prices at Sowing time and to partial failure of autumn rains which re tarded sowing. Fair to good rains in August improved crop prospects in Victoria, southern Australia and the western part of Australia. In New South Wales, the largest producing state, conditions are reported as vari able. NOTICE, D.

Farm Picture in Nebraska Shows Big Improvement Plenty of Feed in Most Sections, an Average Corn Crop Generally, and Few Foreclosures. Sidney, Neb., Nov. 8. The end of another crop year in this section of Nebraska has revealed, agricultural observers say, vast improvement in the general agricultural picture, part ly because of government aid, but mostly through the return of normal weather conditions. Stocks of feed on hand are a con trast to a year ago, when farmers were rapidly disposing of livestock because they were unable to produce or buy feed, the Cheyenne county agricultural agent's office reports. Depleted livestock supplies are be ing replenished and another year is expected to Bee normal supplies on most farms. The report of better farming con ditions comes from various agencies which have dealt with farmers dur ing the past four years. The Sidney federal land bank office was the first to reveal general improvement, with the statement that only four fore closures have been necessary in more than two thousand loans. Later, re lief officials said no farmers in the county now are receiving direct re lief. Black stem rust riddled the 1935 wheat crop, but western Nebraska farmers scored with a record corn yield to offset part of this loss. Little of the panhandle corn crop will be put on the market, as growers plan to fatten livestock and gain this in direct profit from their corn. A Special One-Day Sale of HAT Greenwood News By MRS.
