WHEAT OUTLOOK
In view of the probably urgent [
wheat requirement of Europe ne^t
t>priUi. iutereet in the outcome of j
the c»op now being harvested in
the southern hemisphere is unpre-|
cedeuWdly tense, says the Dawson '
.News. As the Australian crop, which,
last year attained for the first
time The 100,000,000-bushel mark,
is this year, in bo far as exports are
concerned, authoritatively pronounc
ed a failure, world-wide attention is
now concentrated upon the harvest
in progress in Argentina. Ex
cepting these two, the other wheat
producing countries of the southern
hemisphere yield Quantities chiefly I
for native use and not of noteworthy;
commercial importance.
As ..he great wheat harvest of I
the northern hemisphere begins
near '.he equator In March, bo the
lesser one of the southern hemi
sphere commences near the same
latitude in the first month of the
transequatorial spring, September.
Late that month and early In Oc
tober, just when harvest in the
nortiitrn hemisphere is nearing its
close, is garnered the small crop of j
Ecuador, practically the only wheat-1
producing country on the globe bor
dering on the equator. Thence dur
ing October and November the har
vest moves southward through Peru,
Bolivia, Paraguay and southern Bra
zil. In none of these countries,
however, is wheat growing extensive.
Peru the most important as a pro
ducer, has an annual output of only
from 3.000,003 to 4,000,000, and
Brazil ol 1*& than 3,000,000 bush
vis. What is popularly known as
fbe -'.<heat crop of the southern
hemisphere," is grown in the vast
producing legions of Argentina and
Aus'.rtlia, and on the less extensive
area of IVew Zealand, Chile, Uru
guay, iuiil the I nion of South Africa,
in tluse countries as a whole, eui.
iaig iu its southward movement ex
teuds over the period from late No
vember to mid-February. The dura
'iou of the southern hemisphere
harvest, therefore, in its passage
from the equator on the north to
the extreme limits of wheat culture
on the south, 13 about five months,
•vuereas, in the northern hemisphere
-ue movement from the equator to I
f:ie most northerly latitude of its
cultivation occupies a period of al
moot eight mouth*.
Al nough the total quantity har
vested south of the equator ordin
arily constitutes less than S per
cent of the world crop, this wheat
occup.es on the markets of Europe
a position peculiarly its own. I
Grown for the greater part, in
sparsely populated countries, whose
demands for Lome consumption are
limited, a heavy proportion of the
producers, Argentina and Australia,
output, particularly of the two chief,
is anuually available for export,
and, as the harvest takes place dur
iug the winter months, a large part
of the export surplus is enabled to
be advantagevasly placed on the
European market In spring and ear
ly summer, when supplies from oth
er sources are being reduced to low
ebb.
In Argentina whose exports of
this cereal are annually almost
double of all other states and col
onies of the southern hemisphere
tombiued, the wheat-growing in
dustry has been making remarkable
progress for many years. Between
1890 and 1913 the area sown in
creased from 3,000,000 to 17,000,
000 acres, production, though with
wide annual vacillation, from 30,
COO.O-.'O to 137,000,000 bushels, and
exports from 15,000,000 to 103,000,
000. The only strikingly exception
al year during the period was
190 "-8, when from an area of 14,
230,000 acres were harvested 192,
000,000 bushels, resulting In an ex
port surplus of 134.000,000 bushels.
Owing to meteorological and o'h
er causes the Argentina wheat
acreage has, since 1913, undergo le
contraction. Tfc# «urfac« sown for
the crop now being harvested
amounts to only 15,4i>0,000 acres—
671,000 acres itK.8 than that of last
year aud 1,615,000 le^s ihan that
of la 12. Ov<?r most of the terri
tory according to laie reports, the
tields present au aspect of excep
tional promise, and the tendency is
to liken the probable yield to that
made in the bauner year 1007-8.
The first official forecast of produc
tion puts the yield at 203,000,000
bushels. Whatever tho final out
come it seems practically certain
that the losses in Australia will
reduce the net surplus for export
from the southern hemisphere in
1915 to much below average, with
Argentina almost the sole source of
surplus supply.
