wheat in canada is 22000000 acres in round-figures- which is about tho samo iis in 1924 a good harvest this year would bo very opportune for canada in the light of the latest report on the worlds crops of 1026 issued by- the interna tional institute of agriculture in rome this shows that there will bo a con- siderablo decrease in the united states harvest this year comparod with 1924 owing to largo areas being winter kill ed tw estimate of tho united states crop for 1025 is 661000000 busholu compared wlth 873000000 buahols a year ad there wlllbe little it any surplus for export- after the large home consumption requirements- are met v tho seasons wheat crop in indiana estimated at 828000000 against 364 000000 last year which means that india maybe- considered negligible as an exporter
