WHEAT CROP.
FORECAST IN AMERICA. LOW YIELD EXPECTED. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. A combined wheat crop of 594.615,000 bushels, which is 30,000,000 bushels below normal domestic consumption, was forecast by the Government Crop Reporting Board to-day. Excluding last year’s yield, it will be the lowest since 1904. The average production from 1928 to 1932 was 861,000,000 bushels.
Officials hastened to give an assurance that the people’s needs would be met. They pointed out that there was a carry-over of 130,000,000 bushels in storage. From the farmers’ viewpoint, officials declared that the sale of the crop was estimated, if current prices hold, to return them about 645,000.000 dollars, or about one-third more than the return from last year’s harvest.
