FOOD DICTATOR
| ASKS OPINION
OF RAIL BOARD
Suggestion Made That Under
Conditions Strict Standards
May Be Abolished
COMMISSION WIRES ITS
APPROVAL OF PLAN
Believes Step Contemplated Will
Greatly Simplify Situation
and Help Farmer

'In your Judgment would It be
advisable, in the face Of present
conditions, to suspend the federal
grades" Food Administrator Her.
bert c. Hoover asked the North
Dakota railway commission In a
wire from Washington today.
"By all means yes,' sped tho
quick response to Washington.
The suspension of the federal
grades, establishing standards so
strict that very little wheat can
be brought up to them, would
mean sample market entirely, it
is believed, and would enable the
farmer to market his wheat on its
fIour-producing merits and not ac-
cording to the fine-drawn ideas of
grading experts.
The unavoidable presence Of in
separabIe weed seed, barley and
like foreign substances has re-
duced the bulk of North Dakota's
splendid wheat this fall to No. 2
or less, compelling the farmer to
take less than the minimum price
fixed at Washington.
In the opinion of the railway
commission, other states will read
lily join in recommending the sus-
pension Of the federal standards,
which will mean hundreds of
thousands more in the pockets OF
" northwestern wheat growers. ..-[

Herbert G. Hoover,
Washington, ID. C.
Believe it would be wise to sus-
pend operations of federal inspection
and rules for grading wheat during
this crop year pending Investigation
with view to modification. Federal
wheat grades unfair to producer and
absolutely impractical as to transac-
tiOns at primary markets. Neither
producer or country grain buyer can
accurately determine whether wheat
of the very best milling quality will
be graded No. / dark northern spring
or No. when it reaches the terminal
market Under such conditions tend
ency is for grain buyers to play sage
and grade wheat down with producer
unable to protect self All parties are
familiar with old standards, and pro-
ducers would not only secure pay
, ment for wheat on more equitable
| basis but would be able to readily YER
ify judgment of the grain buyers.

Berlin, Sept. II (via London, Sept.

statement given to the Associated

government has Indirectly communi-
Gated its. peace terms to Washington
or that Wilhemstrassc even had sent

The German foreign Office further
informs the Associated Press that the
rumors were promptly discrcditcd on
the strength Of the peace terms ascrib-

that there was no occasion for Ger
many to address the Washington gov.

The assertion made by Matthias Err,
berger, the clerical leader in the
rcichtag, that Germany's note in reply
to Pope Bcncdict's peace proposals al

was denied in official quarters. The
center leader informed his electors to
this effect in the course of two meet
ings which he addressed in Wurttem-

NEW YORK STOCKS

New York. April 3.-operations on the

gress caused an irregular demonstration Of
strength at the opening, important sales.
however, failing to respond In more than
minor degree.
Selling for profits materially reduced
most OF the gains before the end OF the
first hour, but at noon prices recovered
midway on moderate resumption OF de-
mand. This entire list. with few unim-
portant exceptions, fell back In the last half
Of the session, the reversal being simultane-
Gus with the failure of the senate TO take
action on the war resolution.
The only marked reflection of the new
policy to which the government is COM
mitted was seen in the strong tone OF inter-
national bonds. Anglo-French 5s gaining
2b, with Ia for city OF Paris 6s and
concurrent hardening OF remittances TO
Paris. Lires also stlffened. but rubles
yielded.
The irregular course OF the stock market
was inaugurated by the movements Of such
leaders as United States Steel and other
active stocks. Steel made an advance Of
over 2 points to 11sR in the first half hour
on buying on seemingly substantial char
actor, but fell back to 115A, closing at
116M, a net loss of half point.
Bethlehem Steel and other munitions, as
well as such equipments as usually follow
in the train OF war shares, were 1 to
points higher at their best. but these issues
also surrendered for the most part to pres
sure.
Rails suffered additional restraint by
reason Of unfavorable crop reports and earn
ings, the setback ranging from to points
In coalers, trunk lines and grangers to
points in Canadian Pacific. Shippings were
less reactonary, with metals. oils and mo-
tors. Ohio Gas and Wilson Packing, recent
strong features, forfeited from 2 to almost 4
points
Total sales, 100000 shares. Domestic
bonds, railways and industrials were irregu-
lar on light dealings. The large turnover
of s6,700,000 par value, resulted mainly
