CROPS DAMAGED
PRECARIOUS WHEAT YIELD INFLUENCE OF THE POOL Reed. 9.5 a.m. NEW YORK, Thursday. The Canadian Wheat Pool advised the Australian Press Association that the pool is not issuing any crop reports this season, except confidential reports to their directors. Official Canadian Government reports, however, indicate that while good yields are promised from the Manitoba crops, Saskatchewan and Alberta have been seriously damaged by high winds and drifting soil, and by deficiency in the subsoil, as well as moisture accentuated by the recent extremely hot weather.
The pool asserted that the usual rumours that the pool is in desperate straits is emphatically denied by banking and Government officials. The pool is adding steadily to its membership. and marketing policies in an exceedingly trying period, and is endorsed by such unprejudiced authorities as the Montreal Board of Harbour Commissioners, where some of the loudest clamours against the pool originated.
It is officially stated that the Harbour Board report asserted: “The pool has conducted an extremely tactful and skilful merchandising programme throughout two singular crop .years.”
