SEES BIG 1915 SHORTAGE
IN RYE AND WHEAT CROPS
Lord Miner Urges British Farmers
to Grow Small Grain to Help
Other Countries.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 31.-Lord Miner.
former governor Of Transvaal and Orange
River Colony, and high commissioner for
South Africa, and a prominent publicist.
who has made a long study Of England 8
food problems. has just issued letter to
the public. especially the farmers. calling
attention to the probable shortage of
wheat and rye In 1915. and the necessity
for prompt action to make good the nee
essary shrinkage in the crops of Ger
many, Austria, Russia and France. j,
These four countries produce more than
half the wheat and rye in the world.
With their men largely in the army and
their territory ravaged by armies, 1t Is
likely, in Lord Miners opinion, that the
grain production Of these countries will
fall far below the average.
Lord Miner does not think India, Can
ada, the United States. Argentina and
other grain-grQwing countries will be
able to make good the wheat and rye
shortage which threatens, and urges a
concerted movement on the part Of Brit
lsh farmers to raise small grain.
while Lord Miner believes England
will be able to get grain at lower price
Than many Of her neighbors, regardless
of how short the crop Is. he insists the
agriculturalists Of Great Britain and Its
Colonies owe a debt to Belgium. France.

NEGRO RACE is URGED
TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE
Booker 7. Washington Says One
Big, Definite Piece Of Work Would
Aid in Removing Prejudice.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September "a
One big. definite piece of constructive
work will go further in removing race
prejudice and giving us a higher
standard before the world than all the
defending and explaining and getting
back can possibly accomplish" de-
clared Booker T. Washington, at last
nights session Of the national Baptist
convention.
Negroes from all sections of the
country who are attending the con-
vention were urged by the well known
educator to adopt a constructive policy
and get away from the defensive, the
negative. the more critical side OF
life"
He urged them to make the houses
they live in so attractive that people
will want to live in their section, and
to lay emphasis on the members Of the
negro race who own land and are sue
cesful. rather than talk of opportunities
denied them.

FOR OIL PIPE LINES PROBE.
Senate Resolution Directs Thorough
Investigation Of Conditions.

An Investigation Of tho conduct and
control of oil pipe lines by the Interstate
commerce commission is authorized by
resolution reported to the Senate yester-
dav afternoon by the committee on con-
tinrent expenses. The resolution directs
a thorough investigation Of conditions af-
fecting the production. transportation and
marketing or crude oil. with particular
reference to combinations controlling oil
pipe lines.
The committee is requested to ascertain
"whether the charge is true that sub
stantiaiIy the same interests have oper-
ated the pipe lines, made the market
houaht the crude oil, refined it and fixed
the price Of the refined products. and
whether in such respect the laws Of the
United States have been violated"
The committee struck from the resolu-
tton a preamble charging the Standard
on Company with bringing chaos and
chase or transport oil for Independent
producers.

AMERICAN HOG SUPPLY
REPORTED BELOW NORMAL
Crop Estimates Bureau Shows In
crease Over Last Years
Low Record.

The hog supply Of the country is below
normal. according to the bureau of crop
estimates Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. The number of stock hogs in the
United States on September l is estimat-
ed as 1908 per cent of the number in the
country year ago.
A year ago, however. the number was
relatively short. Therefore the present
supply may be regarded as below a nor
NAL supply, but the downward tendency
of numbers appears to have been checked
The percentage compared with year
ago in the important hog-raising states
given in the order of their rank in esti-
mated numbers year ago, is as follows
Iowa 95, Illinois 100. Ohio 30, Indiana
100. Texas 40. Wisconsin 100. Nebraska
95. Georgia 102. Missouri 100. Mississippi
1O5. Minnesota 81, North Carolina los.
Michigan 1O5. South Dakota SO. Alabama
1O4, Pennsylvania 1O3 and Kansas 95.
The condition as to health and quality
of hogs is estimated as somewhat higher
than either of the past two years, al
though slightly below the average of the
past ten years.

YOUNG WOMAN GAMERS
CAN SELL PRODUCTS
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Sale Of Home Put-Up
Goods.

when a young woman has succeeded
in putting up a product satisfactory for
home use, she may well look around for
a market outside the home. The girl who
starts out with confidence in herself will
be more likely to find good market than
one who is difddent."
This statement Is contained In the
latest issue Of the Weekly News Letter of
the Department Of Agriculture.
After citing several examples Of women
making a national reputation in this way,
among whom is mentioned a woman of
this city who has built up a business
making chowchow. for which she gets
So a gallon" the article goes on to say:
These are only samples of what hun
dreds of young women have done to earn
pin money by putting up canned goods at
home. People are continually demanding
better quality of canned goods and are
willing to pay better price for them.
The farmers daughter who desires to
earn pin money may avail herself OF this
demand and with care and perseverance
learn to put up canned goods that she
may sell at a profit. Those who are in
terested in such a project may obtain de-
tailed instructions on canning in Farm
ers' Bulletin 521 of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. which will be
sent free Of charge to the applicant
People of means are most likely to
want 'home-canned' products. and these
are the ones to see Many housewives
living in the cities who leave home for
the country during the summer months
will gladly give the farmers daughter an
order to can enough tomatoes to last
them all winter. It Is best to take orders
ahead as far as possible.
THE young woman who starts out to
sell her products will. Of course, dress
neatly and take samples OF her product
put up In an attractive form. Glass jars
will show products much better than tins.
but if tins are found to be less expensive.
they may be used for all except the show
products.
1.-The managers Of the best hotels and
restaurants in the neighborhood. the
stewards of social clubs in the cities. the
managers of railroad dining cars and
many retail grocers will be glad to use
the products of the girl who does her
canning at home. These products are
likely to show individual care and to be
prepared neatly Of good materials, and
on the shelves Of a retail store are likely
to attract attention from the best Gus
toners"
