Wheat SurpI us Overestimated, Canadian View Broomhall’s Figures Exagger ated, Says Winnipeg Author ity, Who Puts Carry-Over Same as Last Year. That British wheat importers, rep resented by the famous Liverpool house, Broomhall's, have overestim ated the available supply of wheat by 208,000,000 bushels is the belief ex pressed by Cathcart & Co., a con servative, well-established grain house of Winnipeg. Instead of a carry-over ■f 206,000.000 bushels ns claimed by i lie British House, the Canadian firm - stimntes the sumo as last year, 88. 000,000 bushels. In a recent state ment the Canadian concern says: Dear Sirs: "W'e have had for the last several months a. great many very bearish figures on the worlds wheat situa tion, the majority of which appeared io be repetitions of estimates made by Rroomhall’s Corn Trade Newsom the world’s supply and demand situation. < >n November 27 ho estimated im porters' purchases at 656,000,000 >"_:sheis and exporters' surplus at ''52,000,000. On December 4 these figures were changed and made 6,88, '"'0,000 and 084,000,000 respectively. Following is a comparison of the i wo -estimates: Broomhall’s Cath’t .1- Co I'nited States .. . _ jt ti'ni.iior, s:,.nnn.nno Canada .:i60.no0.000 360,oon.ono sri?pnfinfc ... 2nn.nn0.non I77,oon,ono \untralia . ss.ono.oon 77.ono.oon India .4V.000.00O 13.000,000 ItUKsia .32.000.000 32.000.non l>anub« . 32,000,000 r>2,00n.ooo Total .9V4,noo.OOO 776.000.000 "W'e do not know how much Russia nr the Danube will ship so that we ■dial! allow that his figures for those countries are correct, though Russia s always an unknown quantity and even at the present time we are hear mg of great distress from some sec tions owing to lack of food," says Cathcart. "India he gives 48.000,000 bushels whereas shipments from August to December have been 4.SOO.OOO, so that the amount that can lie looked for from India would be 13,000,000 at i lie most. “The Australian surplus has been raised from 72.000,000 to 88,000,000 although in the Broomhall Corn Trade News of December 4, when tills change was nmde, his own agent estimates a surplus of 77,000,000. Argentina Is estimated to have 200, 000,000 bushels surplus whereas the largest estimate we have seen is 177, 000,000 and recent rains are said to be delaying harvesting though no in formation is available as to wh' tlicr there lias been any loss in q":intity. Deterioration In quality Is •irobobie. "Canada Is estimated to have 3*0 "00,000 bushels, which is about right if our western crop is 450,000.000. which is the generally accepted figure. The Northwest Grain dealers several days ago estimated the crop at 428, 000,000, and if the same percentage of tills year’s crop has moved up to date as moved out of last year's crop up to the same date, allowing 50, "00,000 for seed and feed, our crop would just be 42 8,000,000. “The United States surplus of 224, "00,000 seems to lie very much too high. The United States govern ment estimates the crop at 785,000, 000. Allowing 610,000,000 for food and seed and 90,000,000 for feed on the farms which is the government estimate, it would leave 85,000,000 for export. "Therefore, If the above figures which we have given are correct, and they are all substantiated by govern ment or private estimates of the available surplus from each country, instead of there being a surplus as estimated by Broomhall of 296,000,000. I here is a surplus of only 88.000,000 bushels, which is surely not a very large carryover, especially when the price of wheat compared to other ar ticles Is considered." Farmers Push Norris Scheme Organizations in 11 States i«-Seml Delegates to Vt ashing ton to Support Bill. Sioux Falls. S. D.. Jan. 6.—Farm lsanitations from It states will trend representatives to Washington to offer support to the bill introduced by Senator Norris.

He grew to manhood on the farm where he was born, and spent several terms as a country' schoolmaster. His tory tells us of the hardships and scarcity of money in those days. The few dollars which he accumulated os a pedagogue enabled him to graduate from Iowa State Agricultural college, where he was a classmate of Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture. After completing ills college course Mr. Hunt, returned to Ills childhood home and took upon himself the re sponsibility of a fanner, which was generally and principally known as an occupation for feeding one's seif, hut after following the forward march of Mr. Hunt, it is evident that he saw or dreamed of the possibilities and prob abilities ahead, and zealously under took to prove that his visions were practical, and that agriculture would at length become the world's salva tion. During his years of toll which were solemnly apprehensive, he oftentimes declared with absolute sincerity that he was working for nothing and boarding himself. For the past 30 years Mr. Hunt has been prominent in agricultural edu cational work. He served two sue Charles W.
