question If ethics and pa'ri ism:
while there is not the same
amount of excitement in the
grain market as was current last
season, the export movement is
very large But it is being car
ried on in much more system
attic way. 1t is understood in the
grain trade that the purchases
for the British and French gov
ernments are being made thru
j. P. Morgan & Co., who in turn,
have enlisted the services of the
Armour Grain company. There
is no definite authority for this
statement, notwithstanding that
it is accepted very generally. In
advance of the very recent re-
ports that the allied govern
ments had become convinced
that the opening of the Darda-
nelles was a task too expensive
in life and was to be abandoned,
the bankers in question and the
Armour Grain company were re-
ported to have made in a quiet
way large purchases Of wheat.
presumably anticipating rise in
price to result from the an
nouncement. This announce
ment, however, of the abandon
ment Of the Dardanelles cam
paign has not yet Deen made
officially"
In other words, If 1t is true that
these firms hold the commission at
tributed to them, their job is to man
ipulate grain prices to the benefit of
England and France and the disad-
vantage of the American wheat grow
er. If they are thus commissioned
they are leagued with foreign inter
ests to impair the national resources
of their own country.
Since the United States is at peace
with Great Britain and France, that
action could not be termed treason
able. Nor could it, by and stretch OF
the imagination, be termed patriotic
Whether it would be in violation OF
the anti-conspiracy laws of the Uni
ted States is a question for iurists tC
weigh and answer.
The quoted extract may throw light
on the recent action of the French
government in laying an import taA
of 81 cents bushel on wheat. Gov.
ernment purchases would be exempt
from the tax. Wheat bought here b,
private French traders would bt
taxed. Perhaps the government tool
this step to shut off competitive grair
buying by some of it's own people ant
give Morgan & Co., Armour & Co., OF
whoever their real agents are, non
competitive field in the American
markets.
A scheme Of that kind, to be vel
rounded out and perfect, would cal
for an agreement to restrict French
orders to the United States and Brit
ish orders to Canada. 1t is impossi
BILE that the deal is on that basis

that the assessment must be
made solely upon the equity
which a person possesses in
the property. Under this bill a
person with an equity of $4,000
in a farm valued at 5000
would pay taxes only upon the
actual amount Of money he had
invested in the farm. The re-
mainder would be assessed
against the holder of the deed of

would do away with the double

with only two lines of work,

ing the spring and summer nine

With the opening of the fall
term of school, three other lines
of work were projected these
were stock Judging clubs, sewing
clubs and poultry clubs. The total
number of clubs organized from
March to January were 339 with
membership of 3071.
In order to encourage the work
the State Corn Growers Associa-
Ition offered premiums to the corn
clubs and several business firms
offered premium to the tomato
clubs. The firms encouraging
this work were Mermod Jaccard
& Co., st. Louis, the State Bank
ers' Association, The st. Louis
Seed Co., The Simmons Hard
ware Co., and the Shapleigh
Hardware Co.
The sweepstake prize, a silver
cup, was awarded Mary Turnbow

the best jar of tomatoes grown
and canned by a member of a
club, was awarded to Nellie Shell

NO EFFECT ON CROPS
Experts Smash Long Es-
tabIished Belief

Washington, May 13.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has smashed an
other long cherished tradition by de
claring that from scientific stand
with the growing of crops than it has
upon the temperature, the amount of
rain, the wind, or any other element
of weather This will be a severe
blow to those who have believed that
potatoes, in order to be successful
crop, should be planted during GER
tain phases of the moon, or that gar.
den truck flourishes more readily un-
der moon influence when planted
right.
The department points out that the
growth of plants depends upon the
amount of food in the soil and in the
air that is available for them, and
upon temperature, light and moisture.
The moon gives no virility to soil,
neither does it affect the composition
OF atmosphere, hence the only remain
ing way by which it could influence
plant growth is by its light. Expert
ments have shown that full daylight
is about 100000 times brighter than
full moonlight, yet when a plant gets
one one-hundredth part of normal day
light it thrives little better than in to-
total darkness. If one One-hundredth
part of normal daylight is too little
to stimulate plant, the department
says that it is certain that one six
hundred thousandth part would lmpart
no benefit at all.
1t is added that it is "A waste of time
to think about the moon in this con
nection with the planting of crops,
since it has no more to do with tins
than it has with the building of fence,
the time for killing hogs or any other
of the innumerable things over which
it was once supposed to have strong
influence.
The position of the department does
not disturb the scientific fact that the
moon affects the ocean tides, and many
will continue to believe that it pre-
sages rain or drouth, since there is
hardly community in the United
States that does not hold theory
about a wet" or dry" moon.

NO CANAL TRIP FOR
ATLANTIC WARSHiPS

Washington, May 13.-While Secre-
tary Daniels said Wednesday night
that he had not finally determined to
abandon plans for sending the Allan
tic fleet through the Panama canal
next month to San Francisco, it now
is regarded in official circles as very
certain that the fleet will be kept
on the Atlantic coast
Mr. Daniels had further conference
during the day with Captain Hugh
ROdman, marine superintendent of the
canal, who told him that although a
vessel drawing thirty feet of water
could be towed through the waterway
at this time, the canal was only being
used by day and dredging was going
on steadily every night.
Major General Goethals talked with
the secretary Tuesday and it is un-
derstood, advised that while it would
be possible to put the battleships
through now, he could give no assur-
ance of what conditions would be in
June and could not promise that the
fleet once through would not have its
return blocked by new slides.
