GRAIN NEWS Kansas City, Mo. After a long period of declining prices to historic low levels, wheat values continued Its upward tendency with a gain of nearly 18 cents a bushel in the last month.

The impressive advance boosted prices to new high levels for the season. The further enhancement of prices enabled farmers to realize over 60 cents a bushel or higher protein wheat at many concentration points, while even the poorer qualities rose to 35 to 44 cents to the producer. The widest rango of premiums, according to protein, in Jack-o-Lantern had! ignited the curtains in the south bow window. For a few minutes it looked like a serious matter but with the help of neighbors the blaze was sub dued before anv creat amount of damage was done, other than burning the win dow curtains and drapes and scorching the wall paper quite badly.

The KansM associated garden clubs will meet in Wichita, December 8. The state Horticultural society meets in Vinf.eld on De a several years is being maintained. Stimulating factors responsible for the continued upswing In values which are being stressed in the news were the sustained foreign demand for North American wheat, additional evidence that Russian contributions -to needs of deficit countries would be insignificant from now on, failure of advances to bring out domestic supplies in excess ofcurrent needs, further recognition that an important adjustment In productive capacity will be made In surplus countries the coming season, probability that the burden of Farm Board stocks will be lessened by sales to France and Germany, now being negotiated and that financial conditions coincident to depreciated currencies in many countries have not served to curb purchasing of wheat to any extent. It is indicated in grain circles that Europe and non-European countries must depend -on North American supplies for the next few months and possibly well into the new year, when new crop shipments from Australia and Argentine begin to reach foreign shores. Buyers in deficit countries apparently are of the same mind, inasmuch as there were additional purchases cf 6 to 8 million bushels of North American wheat last week as well as undetermined accumulation of futures against future needs.

In the first three months of the crop season to date, that is since July 1, the United States exported only 41 million bushels of wheat and flour, against 59,500,000 In the same period year. The combined wheat acreage and production in tho United States, Canada, Argentine and Australia for a series of years are here shown (last three 000s omitted): Year Acres Production 1931-32 109,971 1,539,000 1930-31 122,400 1,725,276 1929-uO 122,200 1,397,572 1923-29 120,000 1,957,392 1927-23 114,300 1.G75.4S7 1920- 27 110,300 1,019,784 1925-23 102.COO 1,442,495 1921- 25 103.200 1,481,794 192.1-S 10S.300 1,043,228 3.922-23 110,800 1,573,03 1921-22 110,903 1,435,959 (Prospective). Corn prices advanced to now high lavels. Strength was attributed chiefly to colder weather which stimulated feed requiremnets, moderato movement of the remnant of old corn remaining and added efforts to render financial aid to growers desirous of withholding sales of new corn at current prices. Only a few cars of new corn have been received from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

Quality of the early new arrivals was high. grades of milling wheat are Quoted in Kansas City as high as 84 cents a bushel, which is a new season's high mark. Ihe highest sale last week was 7S cents a bushel for several cars of high pro tein grain. Kansas City cash wheat prices are 16 to 86 cents a bushel higher than the recent low point. In explaining to Washington pre3s correspondents why the promised statement of government wheat holding was withheld, Chairman Stone of the Farm Board said "the market hr.s strengthened, and I don't want to take a chance of doing anything that might upset It in a way.

made up my mind 1 wasn't going to do anything to be blamed for any backset in 'he market if it were to happen." Grain elevator facilities con trolled by flour mills In Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska have been Increased 4,000,000 bushels, accord ing to a compilation by the North western Miller. Kansas mills have direct and supplementary storage of 38,739,000 bushels: Oklahoma, 12,237,000, and Nebraska mills, 4,586,000 bushels. Private estimates Indicate that Kansas wheat acreage has been re duced 2,300,000 acre3, which leaves about 10 million compared with 12,800,000 acres sown last year. The fact that over 13 million acres of wheat land are going out of production during the current cereal year as a' result of acreage reductions In Argentina and Australia and decrease In plantings in the United States contributed-strongly to the sustained advance In wheat prices at present. Conviction Is growing that winter wheat acreage as a whole will be reduced fully 15 per cent from the 42 million acres sown last fall, a potential produc tion shrinkage of over 100 million bushels on the basis of average yields per acre.

The fact that much land was poorly prepared or the seed merely disked In lends to the view that winter conditions will be particularly destructive and that normal returns per acre are improbable.
