Will There be a Short Wheat Crop?
Last week we called attention to the
unpromising appearance of the wheat
fields of Centre county. From obser-
vation made ten days ago the predic-
tion that there will not be half a nor-
mal crop seemed justified. Many of
the fields looked practically bare, oth-
ers were badly spotted and even the
best seemed to have a weak stand.
The all day rain of Saturday has had
almost a magical effect for the better,
but pick up and stool out as it will the
farmers of Centre county can scarce-
ly look for yields such as they have
been having for some years past.
The government reports of condi-
tions all over the country are none too
favorable, both as to winter and
spring wheat prospects.
Conditions of this sort might well
be kept in mind by the farmer who is
still holding his last year’s crop. While
most of them have sold there are
some who have their grain in their
granaries. Wheat is now $1.30 per
bushel here, having moved up from
$1.25 within the last two weeks. What
the future may be is only conjectural,
of course, but if crop conditions do
not improve there is reasonable
ground for the hope that the price
will advance.
That the financial centres have al-
ready appraised such a possibility is
shown in the following article from
the Wall Street Journal. The fact
that it predicts a sensitive wheat mar-
ket is indicative of the fact that there,
is little certainty, even in the best in-
formed quarters, as to what the fall
crop will be. It says:
Taking at their face value the fig-
ures of the official estimate of winter
wheat, conditions on April 1, with an
indicated production of 572,000,000
bushels, are bullish on the price of
wheat. Let it be granted that obser-
vations of that date are not greatly to
be relied upon. There are, however,
some features this year which add
considerable weight to the condition
report and will no doubt be reflected in
the market as they are more thor-
oughly digested.
There is, for instance, the fact of a
drought in the plains area of the west-
ern Nebraska, Kansas, the Pan Han-
dles of Oklahoma and Texas, and in
eastern Colorado. This drought pre-
vailed when the wheat was seeded, and
until recently has been unbroken; even
at this time it cannot be said that the
dry area has been sufficiently watered.
That area was dry in the preceding
season when seeded, but late winter
moisture helped, and perhaps saved
the wheat. "Chere has heen none this
year. Much of this area will prove a
It is doubtful also
fomisie failure.
if the stooling in other sections will
be as full as usual, and this is what
determines the yield to the acre.
The very few crop observers who
are both so capable and so reliable
as to command full confidence of the
market, making independent esti-
mates, agree pretty closely in their
conclusions. They all show a condi-
tion that, to say the least, is disquiet-
ing. Rain and good growing weather
will materially improve the outlook.
But even with the best of weather
from this time on, the reports show
that the abandoned acreage will be
large and some of the remaining
wheat in poor condition.
Not all the wheat is poor, and the
forecast of 572,000,000 bushels is not
of famine proportions, although it is
smaller than any crop harvested since
1918 when the production was 565,-
000,000, but offset by a large crop of
spring wheat. Weather conditions in
the northwest now are favoring the
movement there for decreased acreage
of spring wheat. The surplus wheat in
the United States is really small, al-
though Canada has a large amount;
southern continent shipments are be-
ginning to taper off, and the world
outlook for winter wheat is slightly
less than of last year.
Wheat in the market made but lit-
tle response to the government report,
but actual conditions seem to say that
in a short time it may well be respon-
sive to every unfavorable aspect of
the weather. A market sensitive to
crop scares is to be expected this
spring.

| What is believed to have been an
explosion of gasoline caused a fire
which entirely destroyed the Fox Mo-
tor company garage, in Lock Haven, on
Monday evening, damaged several ad-
i joining buildings, caused a loss of six-
ty thousand dollars and for a time
threatened to prove much more dis-
| astrous. So far as can be learned no
‘one was in the garage at the time but
a few minutes before seven o’clock an
explosion was heard in the building
and almost immediately the fire start-
ed. Thirty-one cars were stored in
jhe garage, eight of which were saved
and twenty-three burned.
The fire started with such velocity
that telephone messages for help were
sent to all the surrounding towns, in-
cluding Bellefonte. The Logan com-
pany went down with their pumper,
(making the run in forty-eight min-
utes, but when they arrived there the
fire was under control and the pumper
{was not put into service.

loss. Most of the cars burned were
i private cars stored there and the ma-
Jority of them were insured.

Sugar is Dearer by 574 Per Cent.
Than in May, 1922.
i Sugar is now 57% per cent. dearer
than it was in May, 1922, before the
| Republican Congress enacted the
| Fordney-McCumber profiteers’ law,
which put a tax of two cents a pound
on every bit of sweetening used in
i American homes.
In the last days of April, 1923, the
average retail price of sugar was 10%
icents a pound. In May, 1922, the av-
erage retail price of sugar was 6.6
cents a pound.
| This means that in May, 1922, a
"housewife could get 15 pounds of su-
'gar for a dollar and that now the
| same quantity costs $1.57%.
This increase is due to the Republi-
can tariff, which has given the prof-
.iteers a license and an oportunity to
, exploit the consumer.

What Kind of Animal is That?
A party of young men were on a
hunting trip in a back-woods district.
They had stopped at the home of a
mountaineer to inquire for directions
and information about the game of
[the country. Only women members
of the household were found at home,
but all questions were answered free-
ly. As the party was about to move
on, a young theological student of
their number, wide awake to matters
of church advancement, flung out this
inquiry to the talkative housewife:
“Can you tell us if there are any
Presbyterians in this part of the
country ?”
“Land sakes alive, mister, I ain’t
never heard of no such animule as
dat! Yo’ might look out in de smoke
house, whar my husband has got a lot
o’ hides nailed on de wall an’ see if yo’
fin’ any o’ dat ’>—From Every-

[A Parrot Can Talk But He Doesn't
Know What He is Talking About.
The human family isn’t much dif-
‘ferent than the parrot. We all do a
| number of things but we don’t know
{ why we do them. :
Do you know why you wink your
eyes? You may not but I do. Pre-
scribing glasses for a patient suffering
{from eye-strain requires skill and
knowledge. The doctor should know
‘why and what he is prescribing, as
well as explain the cause.
I know what I am talking about.
i Let me prove it.
