The government owns what is popularly referred to as a big surplus--supplies produced in past years and turned over to Agriculture Department under arm price supports. This quantity was 1,026,000,000 bushels as of Aug. 31.

Americans consume about' 500 million bushels a year and use about 155 million annually for livestock feed and seed. They have been exporting more than 600 million bushels annually in recent years. As prospects appear now, this year's crop will not be adequate to meet domestic and c.xport requirements.
