weather on corn was expressed In the

rains have fallen and the plant has
proved strong enough to resist the heat
fairly well. Oats. barley and rye are
being harvested in good condition, and
cutting of spring wheat has commenced
in southern Minnesota and South Da-
kota. Cotton seems to have held Its own.

Government Money for Crop Moving.
Following the precedent established last
year by the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Mr.. McAdoo announces that he will this
year deposit" Treasury funds in the

is no particular credit to our national
legislators that such step should be
necessary this year. for with the final
approval of the law which created the
federal reserve system in December Oh

that the Secretary is not "depositing

vardon Says American Golfers Get

NEW YORK, August NO less an
authority than Harry vardon has de-
clared that the weak spot in the
American golf, and the reason why our
game has advanced little in more than
a decade, is because of the improper
Of the courses in this coun-
try. That. in fact. was the tenor Of
vardons talk at the time he sailed
for home last fall.
1T Is not the fault Of your golfers"
says the British open champion, but
of those who are responsible for your
courses. American golfers are seldom
put to q real test. You have some
good players in America, but they are
not trained to play right. Their courses

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. August Wheat transac-
tions halted to a great extent To-Day
awaiting the outcome OF a movement TO
give exports from the United states tine
protection of the American nag. AFTER
relatively narrow changes the market
closed steady q net lower for nearby de-
liveries and Y to IA cents up for the
more deferred options. Corn finished at
an advance of 11s to 31a above last night
oats with a rise of q to IL and provi-
sions higher by 21s to 15.
Hysteria vanished today from the
wheat pit. Anxiety in regard 70 settie.
ments for July contracts was thing OF
the past and it was evident that for the
time being war news, no matter how ex-
citing, would probably not affect the
market with any such violence as had
been the case during the preceding -FOUR
days Rumors that Italy might refuse
to be drawn into the war tended to ease
prices early, but an upward turn fol-
lowed on account chiefly of increasing
belief that a way would soon be found to
allow foreign-built ships to take Amer
lean registry.
Removal Of the French import duty
on wheat had considerable to do with
helping to harden prices in the last hour
of the session. There was also growing
prospect that Russia would soon place an
embargo on exports, a course which
would be likely to make the call Of other
countries for American wheat impera-
tive.
Buying of corn noticeably enlarged to-
day despite the requirement of unusually
heavy margins on all trades. Dealers
assumed that in the main the corn corn
market would be governed by domestic
influences and not swing like wheat,
chiefly on news affecting exports to Eu-
rope.
Chances of receipts being to a great
extent shut off by threatened strike on
western railroads brought about quite a
wave of buying Reports Of extensive
drought damage counted, too. against
the bear side. Oats. like corn, developed
fair activity and advanced irregularly In
sympathy with the other principal feeding
grains.
Urgent covering by shorts strengthened
the provision market. Packers were also
credited with having taken a hand at
buying.

THE SACK QUESTION

Asserting that the custom OF ship.
ping grain in sacks is survival from
conditions Of day which is rapidly
passing, the Seattle ost.Intelligsncer,
commenting upon the decision of the
Farmers Union Of Grant county,
which recently voted In favor Of the
abandonment OF the present system.
says:
SIN the earlier days of wheat grow
ing on this Coast the entire crop,
above local Coast needs. was shipped
to Europe in sailing vessels. Such
vessels could not carry oargoes Of grain
In bulk on such long voyages. involv-
ing rounding OF the Horn and twice
crossing the equator. Indeed. the in
suTanoe companies refused to take
risk 8 upon such cargo. Therefore
II was that the practice was forced OF
sacking all grain at tue thresher and
shipping 1t in sacks.
''The practice imposed severe tax
upon the farmers. This tax amounted
to about 6 cents tushel, although
there was some rebate for the value of
the sacks. but not much. As result
Of the saoking plan there has been no
development OF elevator business,
either at shipping points or terminals.
as compared with the development in
other grainRrowing districts.
"The necessity for the practice is
gone. The hulk of the grain is now
milled at home, shipments to Europe
being only small fraction of the To-
tal crop. The practice has survived
long after the necessity for 1t has
passed. II will take time to bring
around conditions which will save the
wheat growers Of this state the un-
necessary tax. tnt they should work
to expedite the time as much as 10
possible"
Much OF The above is true. but oh
yiously the pstIntstligencer hes not
taken into consideration the modern
method Of harvesting grain--the use
Of the combined harvester. The In
tioduotiou of the combine into the
v heat fields OF the Northwest makes
the use of saoks more imperative than
ever. IL would appear, for the reason
that 1t would be impraoticatle aud
costly to handle grain from the com.
bine In bulk.
