Record World Wheat

Home, Sept, 3.

A record world wheat crop is anticipated by the International Agricultural Institute, European production is expected to reach 47,000,000 metric tons, which almost equals the 1933 record and is 5,000,000 metric tons above last year's figure, "North American crop estimates are much larger than those of 1937, and the northern hemisphere, excluding the U.S.S.R., China, Irak and Iran, is expected to yield 105,000,000 metric tons, which figure is 10 per cent. above that of 1929.

Prospects for the southern hemisphere, it is understood, are good.—Reuter,
