Here is a summary of the most imporant points, together with related comments. Soybeans. Stocks of soybeans on farms April 1 were estimated at 116 million bushels, 93 vggrcent more than the year before: April 1 stocks this year equaled 25% per cent of the previous crop, whereas a year before they were only 16 per cent of the previous crop. Apparently much less than half of the farm stocks of spybeans was under price support. The total amount under price support was apparently around 50 million bushels, but this total included beans stored in elevators and warehouses as well as those on farms. Corn. Farm stocks of common April 1 totaled 1,615 million Dtrsh* els,8 per cent more than one year before. (The amount of new crop corn under price support is probable about the same as that of a year ago.Thus the supply of corn on farms not under price support is considerably larger than it was a year .ago.) Oats. Oat supplies on farms April 1 totaled 410 million bushels 28 per cent less than the year before and the smallest amount since 1948. Pasture Conditions. The nations pasture rating on April 1 was 76 Vvhich was a little better than tue 73 reported a year earlier, but not equal to the 10 year average of 81. Pastures were very poor in the seven range states from Kansas and Colorado north to the Canadian border. Cool weather has prevented good pasture growth. There are some signs that the drouth, which began around 1950 in the southwest may move into the northern plains this summer.) Wheat. Stocks of wheat on farms April 1 were estimated at 166 million bushels. This amount was 23 per cent less than last year and the lowest since 1947. (Total stocks, however, are near the record high of a year earlier.) The 1957 winter wheat yield was forcast at 18.2 bushels an acre. This yield is equal to that of 10 years ago, which i6 the second highest on record. Production of winter wheat was forecast at 669 million bushels. This figure is 7 per cent more than \yas forecast on December 1 but would be the smallest winter wheat crop since 1951. Crop prospect^ have improved since April 1. (An improvement of 10 per cent would make the 1§£|7 crop equal to that of 1956.) Production of spring wheat was not forecast in the April report. On March 1 farmers indicated that they would plant 12.8 million acres! This acreage would be 21 per cent less than last year and 33 per cent less than average. Spring wheat production last year totaled 262 million bushels. Indications now point to a carryover of wheat on July 1 of 985 million bushels, 5 per cent less than the record carryovers of the previous two years. The reduction is being accomplished by near-record exports to Europe. Large exports have been possible in part because the 1956 European crop was poor. The 1957 U S. crop maybe around 875 million bushels, 12 per cent loss than the 1956 crop. This and the carryover would make a total supply of 1,860 million bushels, or 9 per cent less than the record supply that was available this year. The point is that the excess stocks of wheat are being reduced very slowly. L. H. Simerl, Dept. of Ag. Eccn. McHENItY PLAINDEALEtt Thursday; Mat 9!» Buy U 8.
