1947 Wheat Surplus Indicated By Agriculture Dept
The agriculture department forecast a 1947 winter wheat crop of 947,527,000 bushels, 9.1 percent more than this year, with all wheat production possibly around 1,451,000,000 bushels next harvest if spring wheat also rises. Excess supply could reach about 478,000,000 bushels, affecting prices and prompting potential large grain loan needs.

Producers controlling about 60 percent of U S bituminous coal expressed willingness to negotiate a new contract directly with John L Lewis at any convenient time.

The government operates the mines under a contract with Lewis following last spring’s strike. Continuous coverage continues on page five.
