BUMPER Crops
II. LOWER PRICES

Chairman of Committee on
Statistics and Standards
Is Optimistic
GRAIN PRICES ARE
ON TOBOGGAN
Great Surplus Ready for Domestic and
Foreign Markets No Question
About Aboundant Agricultural Har-
vests-Industria outlook.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-Somewhat
lower prices of foodstuffs as the result
of bumper crops in all parts Of the United
States are predicted by A. w. Douglass,
chairman of the committee on statistics
and standards of the Chamber of Conn
merce Of the United States, IN his
monthly bulletin on crops and business
conditions.
According to Mr.. Douglass, receipts OF
grains at primary points have not been
heavy, largely due to lack OF cars, yet
prices have been on the toboggan side
because of a great surplus, which sooner
or later must find not only a uoihesIic
but a foreign market.
There is no longer any question as
70 an Astounding harvest in all manner
If agricultural products says the report
The winter wheat crop will be about
535. 900 bushels and the spring wheat
not less than 275 1000 bushels despite
severe local damage by black rust IN
some states in the Northwest. With a
few more timely rains there will be 3,oOO'-
oo0 GOO bushels of corn, of which the
southern states viii furnish about one
third r
There will be a plentiful supply. OF
other food products; grain, tubers, tof-
age. fruits and vegetables for man ana
beast At southern points fruits and
vegetables average about $4,000 cars
weekly. and are gradually bringing down
the nrices of these table necessities once
regarded as merely dellcacles and lux
uries.
sDespite the presence of untold num-
bers of boil weevils in some sections ana
the Iateness of the season, the promise
now is for cotton production OF E,5oo'
600 bales, barring those iifty-seven var
ieties of things which may happen IN the
next three months. t.
'Indecision and hesltancy stil chafac-
terize textiles and some leather products.
Reduced working days and sometimes en-
tire closing down of the mills marks tex
tiles in some localities. 1T seems TO ne
more a waiting and readjustment period
in a moderate way than the prelude TO
anv marked change. Conditions IN metal
lines are much the same ;,
lack of transportation Is the prlnclpal
bindrance TO better and larger distnbu-
ton Railroad rate advances point the
wav to an ultimate solution, but at the
best it seems a long story.
Building operations are much ham
pered by almost everything that can nap
men to them-scarcity and the high price
Of labor and material and difficulty Of p
nancing loans on construction projects
The automobile industry gives indications
of approaching the peak of production
for the present. This may release mate
rial for other steel and glass industries
which greatly need these commodities.
Any complete point of 'saturation IN au-
tomobiles does not seem imminent
rather. in moderate way, readwst-
ment which as long been looked Tor.

Making More Unfermented Juice.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-When the
nation went dry by federal amendment
many grape growers thought they would
be forced into some other line of bust
ness because of the subsequent cessation
Of wine production, but reports to the
bureau of markets show that the demand
for manufactured grape products now
exceed the supply.
The production of unfermented grape
juice and of jams and jellies is utilizing
an increasing tonnage of grapes each year,
these reports state, and in not far dis
tant future it is expected that the an
nuaI production of grapes win not meet
the demand

Ship Control Bill, Charge
Counsel for Territorial Board.
Says Dominion Interests Seek
Defeat Of chamberlain R;ll

AsS~A& &SAs ~ AoASathv8A AG4AAk 4b1AA
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Canadian
and other private interests were
sharged to-day by NJ. D. Leehey, coun-
ssl for the Alaska Territorial Shipping
Board, with actively opposing the
Chamberlain bill to give the board
wider control over vessela operating in
Alaskan waters.
Appearing before the Senate Com
naerce Committee, Leehey quoted an Of
t1cial Of Canadian steamship company
operating in Alaskan waters as saying
the Canadian companies would get the
Alaskan traffic because "they have in
duence enough in Washington"
81 am satisfied that nothing would
be left undone by our British and
Canadian friends to defeat legislation
when their interests are affected"
Chairman Jones interjectcd. II am not
blaming them, but we ought to see that
they don't do It."
Leehey advised the committee to as
certain who was behind the opposition
to the Chamberlain bill, adding that
he was suspicious, because the
Canadian interests are not here in the
open. He asserted that the big Ameri-
can packers, while opposing the bill,
'are doing it above board"

GOVERNMENT SCHOOL
 AT SITKA HAS BIG
 PROGRAM FOR XMAS

SITKA, Alaska, Dec 25.-The A. N. B. Hall was not half large enough to accommodate the patrons who as sembled there Christmas afternoon to witnes sthe program given by the Government School under the aus. p.ces of Mrs. M. c. Holman, Superin. ,tendent, assisted by the A. N. B. band. E
 What the pupils did was praise worthy. What we now expect would sound extravagant if voiced
 In our enthusiasm at their accom- plishmentS we must not forget to recognize and pay tribute to the sill ent partner, Mrs Gamble, whose skillful, untiring efforts made possi- ble the rendering of the musical num- bers.
 In these programs the teachers stand in the background seeking no attention, asking no recognition of their services rendered, but in their hearts is a song of pride, of joy, of siadness, over the progress they are making in their building for the fu- tIrc.. representatives who will repay all of their sacrifices by proving wor- thy fruits of their devotion.

TENNIS BALLS
 HELP WIN MATCH

SHANGHAI, Dec. 31.-In the op- inion of Shanghai tennis players "canned" tennis balls were cn i'm portant factor in the singles cham pionship match which was won by w. s. A. Pott from the Japanese player, J. Tanaka, who had hel1 the title for the preceding two years. Urtil this season tennis ball shipped in the customary way have been used, but when manufactur- CTS learned that t':ese often were effected by moisture on the long ocean voyages they began to pack balls consigned for shipment to the Far East in dramatically sealed cans, a practice commonly followed with many products. Tennis balls, so packed were brought into use in the singles tournament held this fall and as they proved to Ee un- usually resilant it was thought this had its effect, particularly in the opening rounds of the tournament.

HIGHER PRICES FOR a..
 GOLF CLUBS FORECAST

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 31.-Higher prices for golf sticks next season is the word which the professional golfers who make them are giving players for discussion at the 18th hole this winter. Shafts and heads alike have advanced they say, the increased cost of the materials amounting to 80 cents. How much the golfer consumer will be asked to pay by the professionals who get the parts in the rough and turn them into the finished driver or niblick, butter or brassie, is uncertain, but they are sure he will pay more than last season.
 Scarcity of hickory is given as the reason for the increased price ot shcfts. Golf supply houses have men in the field constantly seeking new sources of supply and experi- menting with substitutes but with out apprcciable results to date.

LIVESTOCK BREEDERS NOT
SUPPORTING PURE BRED
SIRE MOVEMENT WE'LL

Every grade and scrub sire that /,
discontinued for breeding pur poses
increases the demand and price ol
pure bred sires. This statement
comes from X. W. Clark OF the Col
oradO Agricultural College.
- Notwithstanding this fact. the
breeders OF pure bred live stock In
Colorado are not supporting the pure
bred sire crusade as they should. To
some of them u certificate of regis
tration means the same thing as an
abstract to a piece Of real estate, be-
cause they are asleep. The breed
ers OF pure bred stock gain most
from this crusade and they will pro-
fit by waking up and joining In the
procession. =
Apply to your county agent, Mr..
