VAST HARVESTS
CANADA AND UNITED STATES Australian l'ross Association. (Received 131.1 i Sept., 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, 17th September: Jlr. William -M. Jardino, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, declared that American fanners would not be harmed by agricultural surpluses this year, despite the torecasts of record crops. Ho pointed out that, despite ihe fact that the United States wheat crop would exceed last year's by 30,000,000 bushels, and Canada was expected to harvest the greatest crop in its history, the anticipated surplus would largely be offset by the shortage of rye. Mr. Jardine, however, advised the American farmers that it would be "Unwise to sell any more wheat at present than was necessary, since wheat is lower than its economic position justifies, and heavy selling is e<»rtaiii to injure the farmers' interests."
