Drop In Flour Prices
Predicted by Griffin

CHICAGO, July 2l.-The senate $
amendment to the food control bill, fix
ing a 81 minimum on the ebst grade OF
wheat, means lower flour prices, in the
view of ]. p. Griffin. president of the
Chicago board of trade.
Board of trade operators have believ-
ed that the wheat minimum should have
been placed higher. as July today closed
at $2.55 per bushel and September at
S227 ga Cash wheat sold at $2.4j
a bushel for No. 5 northern, which IS
two grades below No. l northern, fixed
as a basis for the 81 rate by the senate S
action.
Speculation in wheat and corn has
practically ceased. The grain trade is
frankly puzzled as to the future of the
market, assuming that the house will
concur in the senate amendment The
farmers of the great wheat growing
states have been clamoring for a MIMI
mum wheat price for months.
President Griffin, while he refused TO
discuss the senate's action at length I'M
til he had the full extent of the
amendment, said that while there is a
wide difference of opinion on the mini
mum price that should have been fixed,
the farmer and the conSumer-eSpecially
the latter-should welcome 81 wheat.
The consumer may now look for a
drop in flour to $40 or S11 a barrel, Crit
fin said, which means that the bread
on his table will be cheaper.

PRIME AND SPRAY ORCHARDS

at Missouri College.

Does orchard pruning and spraying
nayP The answer is found in the re-
suits of cooperative experiments con-
ductnd bv the College of Agriculture
in 40 Missouri orchards. These eX-
neriments extended over a period or
three wears. They show first, that a
neglected orchard is about the most
unavoidable thing on the farm; second,
that the best managed orchards in
Missouri are producing more proht per
acre than any other farm crop.
The average returns per acre OF
these 40 orchards during the last three
wears has been as follows: Properly
pruned and sprayed areas, total re-
ceived, SIG per acre; net profit, sl45
per acre. Untreated areas, total re-
ceived, S1S per acre; net profit, moth
ing.
In order to obtained records of the
results part of each orchard was al
lowed to remain in its previous condi'
tion-not pruned and not sprayed. The
experiments, in view of the results OBJ
