CORN MOVING MORE FREELY.
Excessive Moisture, Even Worse Than

prices.

excessive moisture is what worries
them and is a feature which will i'm
pei them to move the grain from their
elevator at the earliest moment posi-
BILE. The complaint is made that the
grain has not dried out as thoroughly
as was expected in the lapse OF several
weeks time.
Two or three years ago there was a
general complaint among the grain
dealers to the effect that the eagerness
of the corn raisers to produce larger
ears of corn had resulted in the de-
velopment of such large cobs that
held the moisture too long. Some of
the grain dealers made long and
strong arguments to show that the
smaller cob and more of them were
as profitable to the farmers as the big
cob ears and there was no necessity
for discounts because of excessive
moisture, and, better than all, there
was no trouble for the elevator men.
All shelled corn of the new crop is
moved as rapidly as cars can be pro-
vided but that does not bring the re-
suits, for under a fairly liberal in
spection the grain is discounted be-
cause of the moisture.

Los Angeles, Dec. 17.-George B.
Harrison of this city has received Of
fetal notice of his election as a mem
Der of the executive committee of the
National Council of the Aero club of
America. The National council is the
governing body of aviation in this
country.
Mr.. Harrison is recognized as one
of the greatest authorities on aerial
navigation in the world. Less than 40
pilots have been licensed by the Aero
club of America and Mr.. Harrison is
one of them.
In the ranks of the United States
Aeronautical Reserve, at the present
,time, there are but Fl active members,
who have the authority to handle an
aeroplan6 in war time and Mr.. Har-
rison is the only member in the west.
He has had considerable experience
in the air, having made many balloon
ascensions throughout the country.
This is one of the main reasons why he
has made Los Angeles his home, as he
has found that this climate, both near
the ground and more than 10000 feet
high, is the best place for flying.
Mr.. Harrison'S knowledge of an
aeroplane does not end in the practical
working of the machine. Many avia-

CAN'T MARKET TOBACCO CROP.
Growers Find That There Has Not
Been Enough Moisture.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 17.-The
Leavenworth county tobacco crop has
not been marketed. Until there is a
rain or snow the growers see no
chance to prepare their tobacco. The
entire crop remains in the barns and
has not been touched since last fall.
The tobacco leaf is dry and unfit to
get in market shape, according to O..
G. Ballard, head of the local tobacco
growers organization. He has had an
expert man at his tobacco barn for
more than month waiting for rain
or snow that would moisten the leaf
and make it in proper working shape.
Even the last snow did not make
enough moisture.
There is an artificial preparation
that can be used on the tobacco but it
binders the SALE" Ballard said. "Only
a rain and a good one at that will give
us a chance to work our tobacco. After
the last snow 1 had the expert at my
barn take down some of the leaves.
He examined them and found all in
excellent condition but brittle from
lack of moisture.
'"The quality of tobacco grown in
this vicinity equals any in the United
States. Although not many farm erS
have taken an active interest in grow
ing the weed 1 feel certain that within
two years this section will be known
as one of the large tobacco centers. 1t
was proved to the farmers this year
that the crop can be raised here as
we'll as in any other recognized tobac-
co state.

tobacco that is grown here We hope
that they will establish a large ware
