British. India, for example, la one
of »he most important factora la
the grain importing trade of Eu
rope and the Indiaa wheat crop is
calculated to be about 18 per oe«t
smaller than it wa# a. year ago..
Th:s means a shrinkage of at least
.V_,00u,000 bushels. perhaps 60,-'
OOO.ji'O. There is no chajbce that
the yield of wheat la this country
and Canada can, come anywhere
near the totals for 1916. The crop
in Eurrop* will probably* fall below
las* year's record.
In the face of such facts the in
crease of 110,000,000 bushels, or
thereabout, in the stock of wheat
carried over into 'he new crop
year is not impessire. It will not
prevent American, farm ens from get
