THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1931 PAGE NINE WIRES SEEN INU. WHEAT Gai of 31,000,000 Bushels _* in Yield Forecast ashington. = An increased wheat crop was forecast by the Department of Agriculture just as markets were Song on 8es- sions Alsturbed turday's Io st of a big 8. erop for 1931.

'The Farm Board rejected a German offer to purchase 600,000 bales of sur plus cotton on long term eredit and proposed, instead, tha: Ger- many purchase from the current crop. The Board mow awaits a Ogrinan offer for 17,000,000 bu- hels of wheat. Yesterday's report was on the conditiods of crops ss of August 1, and the basis of comparison is' the last forecast on July 1. The changes in the prospects for wlhiest and corn are not very Ae, but as for wheat the present fig- ihedegtioh) any. over to next year of ween Fd 000.070 and 320,000,000 bushels, an '.

The wheat crop s estimated at 894,000,000 Rushels, an in- crease: '6t 25,000,000 bushels: over the July estimates and 31,000, 000 more than the actual 1930 crap ure means a But for a reduction in the pros- pective Spring wheat crop the in- crease for the total wheat crop wolild have been considerable. wheat crop is 118,402,000 bush- els, a decrease of 34,000,000 bush- els from the July 1 estimate. The prospect is for the smallest crop since the present basis of calcul- ation was adopted 21 years ago. The report was {issued at: 3 p.m, A dogen or more calcula- tors had been at work all day in a locked, guarded room at the Department of Agriculture, with curtajns drawn down so that no possible signal might be given te anyone outside, It happened once, years ago, that a speculator made a fortune because someone in the estimators' room by a giv- en signal raised and lowered a curtain to show the trend of the estimate. From their own room, a few minutes before three, the estima- tors were escorted to a conference room, in which those awaiting the report were gathered, This rectangular room is marked off line of white paint on the floor, four feet from the wall, Every- one in the room is required stand inside the white line until the signal. Along the walls are telephones, open to mewspaper of- fices. As the second hand on a wall clock approaches the 60 that would mean 3 o'clock, a copy of the report is put on each of the telephone ledges, a clerk gives the signal "get ready; go," and withie » second the report is on its way te the world. Ia a general review of the crop situation, the Department report said that the extensive drought in the west had reduced crop prospects &s compared with July 1 as follows: Corn, 193,000,000 bushels or more than 6 per cent; oats by 187.000,000 bushels or more than 10 per cent; spring wheat by 38,- 000,000 bushels or 24 per cent; barley by 45,000,000 bushels or 17 per cent; flaxseed by 4,000,- 000 bushels or 23 per cent. Estimates for hay, potatoes and several fruits such as peaches, pears and grapes were reduced. Spring wheat, barley, flaxseed and wild hay crops are expected to be the lowest on record. Rye i SIvected to be lower than since 1887. ; Montreal, Aug. 7.~~Mayor Ca- millien Houde, Conservative prov- incial leader has accepted the offer of nomination in St. Mary's divis- ion of Montreal in the coming pro. vincial elections.
