having all machines in such repair
that little or no grain leaks under
and around them on the ground, and
providing that what does leak out in
this manner and otherwise scattered
by the machine is cleaned up and
threshed before the machine leaves
the field. Three-quarters of a bushel
in every 100 threshed can be saved
by careful handling of bundles from
the shock to the machine or stack
and by arranging the bundle wagons
SO that all grain which skaters in
them is caught and saved.
Thus it is estimated that a total
OF three and one-Quarter bushels in
every 100 threshed may be saved.
In Kansas alone this would amount
TO nearly 100000 bushels.
Strating the Work In the South
With such facts in view, the
Threshing Division will begin work
Immediately in the eleven southern
wheat states-Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas. Northwest Arkansas, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Northern Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, and Maryland.
The division has secured a thresh-
ing machine demonstration plant
centrally located in Indianapolis,
Ind, where a corps of men to be
known as "threshermen's assistants"
will be assembled, inspected, their
qualifications determined and their
work directed. The men engaged in
this capacity are expected to be patri-
otto and earnestly interested in grain
conservation as we'll as being experts
in repairing threshing machines and
engines.
These threshermen's assistants
will be located in each state to CO.
operate with threshermen requiring
expert help. The threshermen as
sstants will be called upon by the
County Threshing Conn ittees when
ever needed. Their duty will be to
advise in Overhauling the machines,
to assist in acquiring expert labor, to
supervise repair jobs when the own
er so desires and time permits. The
County Threshing Committees will

MOBILIZING THRESHERNIEN
TO SAVE WHEAT

A project to mobilize America S
threshermen to save millions OF
pounds of wheat now lost by ineffi-
cient threshing practices is an
nounced by the Z, 5. Food Admins
tration.
To do this. a special Grain Thresh-
ing Division has been created as a
part OF The Food Administration
Grain Corporation, with Captain
Kenneth d. TIequembourg, L. S. r., at
its head. Captain Hequembourg is
actively engaged in wheat produc-
ton in Oklahoma, and for some years
has had first-hand experience in
threshing operations. He was re-
Gently connected with the Equipment
Department of the Cantonment Con
struction Division of the army, and
organized the equipment record
branches at construction camps The
Grain Threshing Division will have
rational headquarters at the office
of the U. S. Food Administration
Grain Corporation at AZ Broadway,
New York city.
More Than Three Per Cent of Grain
Lost
II is estimated that from one
10 10 per cent OF the wheat crop is
lost to the country by hurried and
careless operation and inefficiency of
threshiug machines. In some sec
tions, however losses are materially
greater than in others. Waste in
threshing depends largely upon the
condition of the machine as it enters
the harvest field and the care with
which it is operated. While it is be-
lieved that the majority of machines
operate satisfactorily, conservative
estimates Indicate that on an average
II bushels in every 100 threshed
can be saved by having all machines
go into harvest CD in excellent re-
pair; CD with ample power; CD
by providing that during harvest
they are efficiently adjusted to meet
varying conditions. One bushel in
every 100 threshcd can be saved by

Relevant Comment
Liggett & Myers May Borrow Soon

New financing is soon to be under
taken by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
Company, according to reports cur
rent in investment circles yesterday.
Whether the funds are to be raised by
borrowing through an issue of notes
or the offering of the new Class "B"
common stock, authorized last June,
has not yet been determined; it was
said The amount needed by the COM
pany is reported to approximate S1O,-
100000. In connection with the au-
thorization of the new common stock,
amounting to S21, ,496,400, Vice-Pres-
ldent c. c. Dula stated in May that
lin the event it should become neces-
sary to issue stock, not more than 25
per cent of the amount authorized will
be issued at one time, and at least
three months notice will be given
stockholders of the payment date" The
need for new working capital he at
tributed to the unusual conditions
created by the war, stating that prac-
tically everything entering into the
manufacture of tobacco has advanced
more than 200 per cent since hostilities
began. He added: "It may be that we
will find it prudent to continue to fl
nance the company by borrowing, but
to provide against any unforeseen
emergency it is highly desirable to have
authority to issue more stock, whether
it is availed of or not

Reserve Bank Holds
$5,OOO,OOO for Bolivia
Fund Will Stabilize EXCHANGE
and Obviate Shipments
of Gold

AS result of a special agreement be-
tween Bolivia and the government of
the United States a $4,000, 900 fund has
been established in the Federal Reserve
Bank and stands in the name of the
Bolivian Minister at Washington, it
was ascertained yesterday According
to the international arrangement, which
is said to be almost identical with
that entered into by this government
with Argentina, all moneys due Bolivia
Tor the payment of debts contracted
by this country may be turned over
to the Reserve Bank for the account
which has been opened.
Under the terms of the agreement
1T is understood that the fund can be
increased up to 20,OOO,00O, if mutu-
ally satisfactory. The purpose of the
arrangement is to prevent a disparity
IN the exchanges from hampering
American purchases ir Bolivia, and at
the same time to obviate the necessity
of actually shipping gold to the South
American country. The American ex-
ports to Bolivia are relatively slight,
compared to the imports, which are
chiefly tin and other metals.
No such arrangement has been made
with Chile, bankers pointed out, and
as a result it has been necessary to
ship gold to that country to settle for
the large cargoes of nitrates which
have been sent here.

Cash Cotton Near
Highest Mark of
Spring Trading
Brokers Fear Next Report
Will Forecast Further
Deterioration

The pendulum of prices on the New
York Cotton Exchange again took a
full swing Yesterday, and the general
list advanced 81 to 112 points. Cash
cotton sold at 33.40, which is within a
few cents of the high marks reached
in the early spring. December con-
tracts sold up from 2S.76 to 1855 in
the trade trading, or more than 50 a
bale above Mondays final figures, and
closed at 1850.
Increasing fear that the next govern
ment report would show further de-
terioration in crop prospects and ad
vices of stcadier spot basis in the
Southwest led to the striking recovery
from Mondays decline and indicated
that the high mobility of the market
which seems to work both ways, was
still undiminished.
The market opened steady at an ad
vance of 20 to 81 points on the unex-
pectedly high level of prices at Liver
pool and buying by houses with Eng
lish affiliations. Much selling took
place at the opening prices, partly for
trade account and partly as result
of the larger spot offerings reported
Monday.
Advices that farmers were disin-
clined to sell their early receipts of
cotton in the Southwest because Of the
poor crop prospects contributed to the
upward turn in the ring. Moreover,
exchange gossip was to the effect that
one of the prominent cotton authori-
ties made the condition of the crop
69.6, compared with 75.5 at the end of
July. Such things as this caused a
general impression around the ex-
change that the crop was perhaps de-
teriorating more rapidly than was
realized.
Strength of Liverpool was attributed
partly to the unsettled situation with
suit of recent submarine DEVELOPMENTS.
The report of the Census Bureau on
domestic mill consumption for july is
expected at the opening this morning.
1t is supposed that the showing will be
comparatively moderate, as mill opera
tlons have been restricted by scarcity
Of labor. 1t will be followed an hour
later By the weekly report of the
Weather Bureau, which is likely to en-
phaslze continued drv weather in the
Southwest. No exports were reported

Continuous Rate Revision
Freight Shippers Can Press
Readiustment Claims

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Freight
rate revisions to be made continuously
by the railroad commission in the fut-
ure will be ordered on the principal
that the railroads should remove fun
damental injustices, and not only the
inequalities and new differentias aris-
ing out of the 25 per cent rate ad-
vance.
This plan, explained to-day by Di-
rector General McAdoo, means that
thousands of shippers are free to pro
test to the railroad administrations
traffic committees against systems of
rates in effect before the government
took charge of the railways and to
press their claims for adjustments
which will remove determinations ia
voring other competing localities or
plants. Rate experts admit the exist
cnce of innumerable cases of discrini1-
nation which business interests here
tofore have not brought to the atten-
tion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
This policy of the railroad admins
tration is also considered as signifi-
can't as leading eventually to cstab-
llshmcnt of rate Systems on scien-
tifc rather than on a competitive basis.
