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. A. 2L

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.
