ACCOUNTANT SAYS TELEPHONE RATES HERE EXCESSIVE Cameron Black on Stand All Day in Hearing at Mont
 gOmery Yesterday CASE MAY CONTINUE THROUGHOUT WEEK Weatherly and Ullman Are Before the Public Service Commission
 Looking After Interests
 of the City

Montgomery, June 13.-(Special) )-Dam- eron Black of Atlanta, member of the public accounting firm of Alonzo Rich ardson & Co.,, told the Alabama public service commission today that he was convinced from a three months inspec- tion and investigation of books and charges of the Southern Bell Telephone company that the rates in Birmingham were excessive.
 MT. Black went into details in his tes- timony, being the only witness at the first day's hearing of the case, which will determine whether or not the tele- phone company shall be forced to reduce it's charges for telephone service in Bir- mingham and surrounding territory. Mr. Black produced large record of his in- vestigations, showing the costs of oper- ation, receipts and all things entering into the company's business in Bir- mingham.
 He declared that he did not believe the company's books correctly show the profits from the service In Birmingham. He did not charge that the company had interior motives in covering up its re- ceipts, but declared that the books were so kept that many charges made against the company's Birmingham service  should be charged to other sections, while some receipts credited to the Bir- mingham section should go to another.
 MT. Black was appointed examiner of the companys books by the public serv- ice commission and began work in No vember, completing the task about Feb ruary 1.
 He took the stand when the hearing began this morning and remained as a witness throughout the day. Indications are that the hearing will continue the greater part of the week.
 M. M. Ullman, city attorney of Bir- mingham, and James Weatherly, member of the Birmingham commission, repre- sent the city, while the telephone com pany is represented by J. Hunt Chipley of Atlanta, General Counsel J. O. Smith of Birmingham and Robert E. Steiner. Jr., of Montgomery.
 In going into details about the proper charges for the service in Birmingham, MT. Black said the charge for an exten- sion telephone for business use should be SIP instead of SIS, and the charge for an extension in the home should be $6 instead of SIP.

 Urged to Buy Bonds

Tuskegee, June 13.-Emmet J. Scott, secretary of the National Negro Busi- ness league, today issued an appeal to the organizations members throughout the country to subscribe liberally to the liberty loan.
 There are 10,000,000 negroes in the United States with a taxable wealth of probably 0,000,000," read the ap- peal. Because of the privileges we have had in this country, not only to amass wealth, but to lay the founda- tion of a civilization of our own. we should accept the duties and responsi- bilities of citizenship.

NATIONS WHEAT HARVEST
By HOLLAND

New York, June 3.-(Special. .)-Presum- ably reports by the Washington author ities from the northwest explain the gratifying increase in the estimate of the harvest of wheat which Washington made few days ago. Now the authorities are persuaded that at least 700 0000,0 900 bush els will be harvested, if weather condi- tions continue to be favorable. If Canada were able to report improvement Of like character then the allies, who will in the next 12 months need millions of bushels of wheat would be able to contemplate fairly good response to their demand
 The great area of the United States makes it certain that deficiency in food harvest in some sections, due to climatic cor ditions, will be more than made good in others. For instance, two years ago there was a deficiency in the corn crop of the northwest, attributable entirely to bad weather, but in some other parts of the country, especially in the south, the summer weather was unusually favorable so that the harvest of corn was very large and more than made good the de- ficiency in the northwest.
 Reports have come to New York that rainy weather in the east has somewhat impaired crop prospects, but if the east has suffered from too much rain the northwest has been greatly benefited by heavy rains that fell in the latter part of May and early in June. These stimu- lated the growing crops in Montana, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. But curiously enough the rains which were abundant in South Dakota were lacking in North Dakota. and unless what the farmers call soaking rain" comes, there may be some shortage of crops in that state.
 In the east there has been disappoint- ment that May should have proved so urfavorable for growing crops, there hav- ing been only three or four clear days. But in North Dakota the opposite con dtion has prevailed so that the district reports the dryest May known in 42 years. This dry weather has somewhat inn paired the rye crop of North Dakota, and unless rain comes may seriously put back 10 w

| heavy demands upon the farmers of our own northwest.
 Louis w. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad company, in an ad- dress delivered few days ago, revealed his fathers capacity for collecting and mobilizing statistics that are not dry, but are full of information For instance. he called attention to the fact that while the northwest or that part of it which his railway system bisects, con tains not quite per cent of the popula- tion of the United States nevertheless it produces approximately 2 per cent of our food supplies. This production, and the high prices which food now com mands, Is reflected in business prosper ity throughout the northwest which is without any precedent. Should the har- vest of this year equal the present ex- pectations, this business prosperity will continue well into the year 1s19 and will be reflected in heavily increased depos- it's in banks and financial institutions.
 This business is not directly war order business, although it reflects indirectly war orders. One thing stands in the way somewhat of business prosperity in the northwest, for while the buying power of the people is probably greater than it has ever been and the retail trade unprecedented, nevertheless, on ac- count of transportation embarrassments and the tardiness with which manufac- turing industries are filling orders, there is some impairment of prosperity The reason why manufacturers are slow in delivering orders, especially manufactu- rers in the east, is to be found in the fact that many of them are now driven to their capacity in executing war or

THE FARMER RESPONSE

The farmers of the northwest have re- sponded with enthusiasm and energy to the appeal that they produce larger crops than ever. All over the northwest the acreage has been considerably increased In Montana, which some day is going to be numbered among the greatest of wheat producing states the spring wheat prospects are so good that it is possible for the state authorities to report that the spring wheat win repair the dam age done in Montana to winter wheat.
 Bankers and business men in the Da- kotas undertook early in the spring a voluntary campaign with intent to per- suade the farmers to increase their acre. age, hoping that record breaking acre. age could be put to seed These ap- peals were successful. The farmers found that the banks were very liberal in aid- ing them with credit and no reputable farmer has been refused credit in North Dakota. The banks of that state have lent several million dollars to the farm CTS. All that is needed in some parts of the northwest for a harvest of crops which will be record breakers, even though wheat may show some falling off, Is favorable weather. South Dakota Min nesota and Wisconsin should add to the corn harvest so great an amount that the hoped-for aggregate harvest of A. 000 0O0 900 bushels will be secured
