AUSTRALIAN WHEAT
Exports Fall By Half (N.Z Pres. Assonatum—ConvrtßM i MELBOURNE, Jan. 22. Australia’s wheat exports this year would be less than half the usual amount, the chairman of the Australian Wheat Board (Sir John Teasdale) said yesterday. He issued figures showing the wheat situation in Australia for the season just ended. "Normally Australia exports between 90 and 100 million bushels,” he said. "But this year, after home consumption, Australia will have little more than 48 million bushels left for export as wheat and flour.”
Sir John Teasdale said that for only the third time Australia would import wheat—one and a half million bushels from Canada. This was special hard wheat usually grown in sufficient quantity for Australia’s needs in New South Wales, where the drought had almost wiped out production.
