AMERICAN WHEAT SHORTAGE
AMERICAN WHEAT SHORTAGE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.— Copyright. Vandiver, July 17. A message from Winnipeg states that, with the wheat crop estimated at approximately half that of 1928, employment officials state that only 25 per cent, of the harvest help required in 1928 will be needed to deal with this year’s crop. Last year 50,000 harvest workers were brought from eastern Canada and 15,0*00 froin° Britain. It was unlikely, they stated, that during the coining season any Britishers would be brought to Canada to deal with tho harvest. A New York message says future deliveries of wheat were swept to new high levels owing to the prospects of a world shortage before the harvest of 1930 crop. The Canadian spring planting has shrunk under the high temperatures. Trading was wild to-day. Late estimates from the north-western wheat areas indicated that there is a shortage of above 400,000.000 bushels in the North American spring crop.
