Out in the wheat belt, the combines are humming as harvesting gets into full swing. Weather conditions during the growing season have been favorable, and there is a bumper crop to gather in, even though it will not quite measure up to last year's output. For this small mercy the U.S. Department of Agriculture may truly be thankful, since it is already almost smothered in wheat. Despite the superabundance, only after a prolonged and bitter fight has the government obtained from the U.S. Congress authority to sell some of its wheat holdings for animal feed at a price sufficiently below parity to make it competitive with corn.
