j: WASHINGTON, May I. — It seems
fairly well assured, according to a
•: special committee of the Chamber of
•i Commerce of the United States, of
•: which A. W. Douglas, of St. Louis, is
;i chairman, that the winter wheat pro
I; duct Ion this year will be appreciably
:j less than that of 1915 and 1911. In
■: fact, according to this prediction it
\ will be below the ten year average of
the decade of 1906 1915, approximately
■
one-third less than tile harvest of 1915.
i or roughly speaking, around 150,090,
i onO bushels. The committee declared
, there was approximately at the lime
! of its survey. April S of this year, 2a
, per cent less acreage standing in
| wheat than at the same time last year
| The question of what the price of
wheat will be during the next six
months, is one which will have a pro
found effect on the business of the
country.
! Continued War Will Keep Wheat
Price Up.
' The committee's forecast, at least
for the spring and summer, is for com
1 paratively high prices in wheat, since
I at the time of observation there did
not seem to he any likelihood of the
crop approaching the yield of" last
year. Tills estimate is based on a
continuation of European hostilities.
Should peace come, however, and the
Dardanelles be opened, releasing what
| is generally thought to he the accti
i mutated surplus of wheat in Russia,
there would undoubtedly be a decline
in nrice.
General Condition Lower.
The National Chamber authorities
declare the condition is lower than
for a number of years. This is attri
buted to winter killing, the ravages
of the Hessian fly in certain sections,
and the drought which prevailed in
others. The condition is generally
good throughout the west and north
west, all the Rocky Mountain states,
and on the Pacific coast. As a whole,
1
it is somewhat better in the south
■ centra! states than last year. It is
also better in Pennsylvania, Maryland.
Virginia, West Virginia, the Caro
linas and Georgia.
Where Decreased Acreage is Marked.
The decrease in acreage has been
greatest in the large wheat growing
states, and particularly marked in the
Central West, or, according to the
committee, Kansas, Missouri Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Iowa. It
is due to unfavorable weather last fall
! during the planting time and to an un
usual amount of winter killing.
Grain Foods Have Not Shown Ad
vance.
Figures shown by the committee
demonstrate the fallacy of a pro
nouncement that the prices of grain
foods have shown an advancing ten
dency of late years. Prices show that
for over fifty years there has been
no decided tendency either towards
advances or declines but merely a ser
ies of indeterminate fluctuations that
indicate nothing in particular.
"This, too, in spite of the unprece
dented and abnormal demand caused
by the European war, with consequent
high prices," the committal goes on.
"it requires no gift of prpphecy to
realize that with peace tnnst come a
cessation of this demand, the releas
ing of the pent up Russian surplus,
and consequent declines in prices that
can be stayed only by crop disasters
| in this country aiul other surplus
' wheat producing nations, so that the
j next phase of the curve at that time
will in all likelihood be downward."

CALLS 1916 DANCE VICIOUS.
TACOMA, May 10. — Dr. J. R.
Drown, president of the State Medical
I
[Society, last evening asserted the
| modern dance was a vicious appeal to
sex Instinct: that “racy, snappy stor
ics" in the popular magazines were
; demoralizing, and that "Ignorance is
the best friend of vice." The doctor
j urged teaching of sex hygiene and1
i sex truths early in life to the boy and
! girl.
