Lack Storage
But pinned
look is a gloomy prediction by
grain experts that Canada simply
hasn’t the storage space to
handle such tremendous crops,
and community halls, skating
rinks and auditoriums out west
may have to be requisitioned to
provide emergency storage.
.Nevertheless, Transport Con
troller R. W. Milner said he felt
confident that a “well co-ordi
nated effort will move the grain
into export channels in a satis
factory volume.’’
Above ’28 Peak
The Bureau of Statistics esti
mate was for a wheat crop more
than 100,000,000 bushels higher
i;han. last year's 552,000,000-
bushel harvest and about 89,-
000,000 bushels greater than
ihe previous peak of 567,000,000
bushels in 1928.
Prospects of a record wheat
crop likely will have inter
national repercussions. Canada,
;ong with the United States, has
:>een pressing for a higher wheat
price ceiling under a new inter
national wheat agreement cur
rently under negotiation.
May Prevent Rise
The United Kingdom and
other importing countries of the
current four-year international
agreement, which runs out July
31, 1953, are strongly opposing
such a move. Forecasts of peak
crops in Canada as well as the
U.. may bolster their drive to
keep prices from climbing.
•Currently, the agreement
ceiling is $1.80 (U.S) per bushel,
jasis No. 1 Northern. Spokesmen
!or organized ; ‘ ‘
have proposed a
?2.35 a bushel.
Barley Estimate
The bureau’s
of 295,333,000
make the current crop some
50,000,000 bushels greater than
,he one produced last year and
36,000,000 bushels higher than
he previous record of 259,000,-
000 bushels harvested in 19 42.
The oats crop was estimated
at 465,668,000 bushels, down
656,000,000-record
