AMERICAN WHEAT SHORTAGE
ADVICE OF THE FARM BOARD. By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Washington, Aug. 21. Commenting on reports that there was an over-all grain shortage of 400,000,000 bushels this year, the chairman of the Federal Farm Board, Mr. Legge,. advised stock men to meet the condition immediately by feeding stock with a mixed ration including rye, barley, oats and wheat” in order to avoid any foolish and unnecessary price rises later in the year. “We want to get live stock feeders to adjust themselves quickly to conditions they have not had to face for 29 years,” he said. Mr. Legge spoke contemptuously of a statement by a “Wall Street farm expert” who objected to feeding wheat to swine because that produce would produce less lard, which, according to Mr. Legge, would be welcome to packers.
