Kick On. Wheat Price.
Farmers Say Grain Corporation
Allows Them Too Little.

With the nations wheat crop greatly
reduced below the preliminary estimates
of yield, serious controversy has arisen
between the grain farmers and Director
Barnes of the United States Grain Cor
poration, over his administration of the
wheat guarantee law.
Reports from the harvests indicate a
depreciation in quantity yield of rs per
cent. or more. Instead of 1850. 900. 900
bushels, as estimated in spring prelimi-
nary reports, the production is sure to be
less than l, 900, ,OOO.0 900 bushels, and some
Congressman think there will be not
more than 100000 900 to 300, 200, 900
bushels. Where 35 to 40 bushels per ac-
re were predicted, 10 to 20 bushels are
garnered. In addition. the quality of the
wheat is greatly below the expectations,
the grain being small in many sections
of the country. Black rust and drouth
are the chief causes, though in some
parts of Kansas, where there was an ex
ceptionally large planting, the reduced
yield is attributed to heavy rains last
spring that made "a big crop of straw"
rather than of wheat.
On top of these conditions came an or"
der from the Grain Corporation fixing
schedule of discounts for the lower grades
of wheat which farmers claim is unfair
depriving them of large proportion Of
the guaranteed price of So 26 per bushel
than is warranted. They already were
dissatisfied with the system of grading
fixed by the Bureau of markets of the
Department of Agriculture under the
Grading law of Congress.
Floods of letters and kilograms in pro-
test have been coming to Congressman
for several days. The schedule of dis
counts for bad wheat is said to result in
the farmers receiving, in some instances
as low as 81. As per bushel of wheat.

more, Will Be Largest
In The East.

The biggest meat packing plant in the
East devoted exclusively to handling
hogs is now in process of completion on
Lombard street, between Fifth and
Eighth streets, Baltimore. 1t is owned
by Jones & Lamb Company and occupies
the site and the buildings of the old
Monumental Brewery.
1t will not only be the largest in the
East, but will be the equal of any exist
ing plant in modernity and completeness.
1t will have three tracks connecting with
the Baltimore and Ohio Belt Line Rail-
road. which connects it directly with the
deep-water piers as we'll as the main
trunk lines of the country. 1t will have
its own electric plant for furnishing all
motive power and light. 1t will have it's

la-gest-if not the largest -refrigerating
systems in the country. Also fleet of
81 trucks and garage equipped with the
autogenous welding system, machinery

The term corn-fed is "in the contract"
according to Frank B. Calm, chairman
of the board of directors, as the peanut
fed hog carries fat which is generally

Plant Lice Threatening
Potatoes, Says Expert

Indications are favorable in Indiana
for an outbreak Of plant lice this year,
said F. n. Wesler, civic gardner, to-
day. Potato growers as well as other
vegetable producers should be on the
watch for small green soft bodied in
sects usually found on the under side
of the young leaves.
Their presence usually causes a
rolling under of the leaves, thus serv-
ing as a protection for them. Soon
the juice is sucked from the leaves
resulting in whitening, browning and
finally death.
Plant lice multiply so rapidly that
any control measures must be begun
when the first lice appear. Thorough
spraying with a nicotine sulphate
(Black Leaf 400 solution, taking care
to completely cover both sides of the
leaves, will destroy the lice.
1t may be necessary to apply two
or three applications ten days apart
to completely rid the plants of the
pests
Nicotine sulphate should be usee
as the rate of one-half pint to fifty
gallons or one teaspoonful to each gal
Ion. 1t may be added to Bordeaux
with lead arsenate. Such combined
spray controls potato bugs, plant lice
| leaf hoppers and certain fungous dis
eases

WORK BOARD ORDERS
ALL STREETS FLUSHED

Flushing of Main and other paved
streets of the city for the first time
In two years, was ordered by the
board of works at its regular meeting
this morning. Conditions of the paved
streets during the last few months
have been far from sanitary, accord
ing to members of the board, and the
city street commissioner was ordered
to flush the streets with water at least
once every week.
Shortage of labor was brought up
by the commissioner as one of the
reasons why the streets have been
neglected. and Street Commissioner
Sitloh asked that some assistance be
given him in obtaining enough men to
care for the streets.
The general identifying of the city
was also brought up by members OF
the moard, and the cutting of weeds
In the city was ordered. The objec-
tionable growth of weeds in the
Reeveston section of the city was
pointed out, and the cutting of these
weeds was referred to the superin-
tendent of parks.
The board instructed the city sani-
tary inspector to keep close watch
on all garbage and paper scavengers
of the city and to file an affidavit
against these men who have been lit
tering the streets and alleys of the
city with refuse.
These men have been a continual
source of trouble to city officials, by
picking over trash piles, taking what
they want and scattering the rest oil
the trash. and allowing 1t to blow
about the Streets declared one mem
Der of the board, "and we want exam
pies made of them.
The cooperation of all residents
is asked, and we want violations o.
the city ordinance in regard to this
matter brought TO the attention o.
proper officials"
The improvement of several city
streets was also brought before the
board for consideration.
