Grain Review

:, Chicago, May 10-Dry, hot weather

wheat crop to deteriorate led to de-
cidedly higher prices today In the

sandstorms were reported. Opening

July at $t16A to @1.l7, were followed
by substantial further advance.
Reports that seed had been blown
out Of the ground in thousands OF acres
in North Dakota had further bullish
effect, and so, too. did word that dust
storms were sweeping Nebraska. The
market closed strong. 1Tc to Nc net

at $117x @1.17k. !.
Corn shared in the wheat strength.
Offerings were notably scarce. After
opening shade of to h@kc up, the

turn.
Subsequently, assertions that corn
acreage this season in the southwest
would break all records tended. to
weaken the market. Prices closed I'M

Destruction by green bugs In OKLA :

MAY SPOIL LAKE
WITH DRAINAGE WORK

Little Sioux. May e.-One OF the late
drainage propositions before the board
of supervisors Is to run ditch about
a half mile north Of the Smith lake
and one from the lower end of the
lake into the Soldier valley ditch. The
hearing OF the proposition was ad-
journed until June s. Smith lake lies
mile south Of Little Sioux and has
been great pleasure resort for all
those who enjoy pistatorial outing
with rod and line. Years before the
white settlers came to this section
the Indians camped every year upon
its banks, always getting good sup
ply Of pike and pickerel. The wet
season has filed the lake bed up to
its old water line and 1t now. appears
as when first gazed upon by the white
settlers. Many are the tales told Of
the big fish caught here. Much re-
greet would be expressed II the lake
was spoiled by drainage.
