GRIM OUTLOOK FOR U.S. FARMERS.
HEAVY RAINS, FLOODS AND GALES DESTROY WHEAT CROPS FOR 1927. By Telegraph.— Press Assn. —Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received June 21. 9.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 20. Winds of the intensity of a tornado, with heavy rains and swollen streams, are destroying many acres of wheat and homes in south-east Kansas. Leaders on the Chicago Grain Exchange state that American farmers may expect high prices for wheat this ■year, with exporting countries unable to meeet the demand. Constant rains, floods and a cold spring have retarded planting and cultivating and unless perfect weather is experienced from now until after the threshing, it is feared that farmers will have verv little crops for the market. While farmers in certain territories may profit from the higher prices, it is doubtful whether the industry as a whole will be benefitted.
