Chicago. May 5.--There was a sharp
tone TO the corn market early and
prices were sharply above the pre-
vious closing figures. One of the big
features was the lack of selling pres.
sure. The opening was active due to
urgent buying by some OF the larger
shorts and investment buying through
commission houses but later the market
became quiet. BuIlish sentiment was
stimulated by talk OF decreased acreage
and by statements calling attention to
the general shortage of world supplies

May oats advanced to los early, a

were urgent buyers at the outset and
at no time was there liberal offerings.
Outside buying for deferred delivery
was fairly good. with commission
houses taking profits at certain levels
but there was no great depression of
values. Clear weather prevailed over
most Of the corn belt.
Strength in lard was the feature OF
the provision market heavy offerings
came from one OF the big packers
while one of the cash concerns bought

stock Dividends EXPLAINED

Incidentally, a very large noun
tain has been made out OF a rather
small molehili. tho supreme courts
decisions exenlpting stock dividends
from income taxes. The impression
gathered from reading the newspa-
pers was that the governments reve-
nue. would thus be reduced woefully.
AS a matter OF fact. the revenue thus
lost" will not constitute more than
a fraction of ] per cent OF the ma
tons receipts, What happens when
a stock dividend is declared is this:
The stockholders, who own the assets
Of the company, hold, as n token of
their ownership, certain pieces OF pa
per. called shares, One hundred OF
these pieces Of paper may represe MT
say. one-thousandth part OF these
assets. when stock dividend Is de-
clared the shareholders may receive
five or ten Of evenly more pieces OF
paper or -shares+ but he still owns
only e-thousandth part OF the as
sets The mere issuance Of additional
pieces Of paper has not added to his
company's assets. has not, I'm reality.
made his total holdings of shares
worth one dollar more. Nor can this
stock dividend increase his income
one iota until he eoLher receives a
larger cash distribution from the
company in the form OF dividend
or sells the extra shares he has re-
ceived, But when this happens the
money he receivts al once becomes

thing is thus lucidly explained, To-
justice OF the courts decision be-

DIVISION TO FIGHT
WHEAT DISEASES

BIacksburg. Va. May S--On ac-
count of the increasing severity OF
loose smut and other diseases of
wheat in Virginia for the past few
years. the extension division has de-
cided to put on a specialist to help
the county agents in fighting these
diseases. Beginning May /, r. c.
Thomas, who is now assistant plant
pathologist of the Virginia expert
ment station. will give his entire time
for SIX months to introducing the hot
water method OF seed treatment In
cooperation with the county agents
in the main wheat-producing sections
he hopes to establish several central
treating stations. These plants will
be financed by the farmers interested
in getting clean seed. The extension
division will furnish plans and assist
in establishing these stations
There will be limit to the amount
of grain that can be treated for each
farmer, but it is expected that each
farmer in the community surrounding
the treating station will be able to
treat enough grain for n seed plot
large enough to supply seed for his
entire crop the following year. The
work will be started first In Shenan-
doah. Rockingham. Roanoke and
Montgomery counties. After 1t has
gotten under way in these sections it
will be started in other counties
where there is sufficient interest
among the farmers.
The hot water treatment not only
prevents loose smut. but is also effec-
tive for tbunt and nematode, and
helps to control scab and cookie. In
several counties in Indiana where
this method has been used extensive
~. 1t has resulted in an increased
yield Of approximately 10 per cent and
in some cases the grain from the
treated seed has graded No. !. as
with No. from untreated
seed.

ORANGES TO AID N
SHIP BY TRUCK week

(Farmers' Organizations Admonished
to Further Highway Discussion.)
| Especial to The Richmond virginian)
Washington, D. c.. May 3.-Direct-
ing the attention of more than one
million farmers to the issues involved
in highway transportation and good
roads, Thomas c. Atkeson. Washing
ton representative and moving spirit
in the National Grange. Patrons OF
Husbandry. has addressed a letter to
grange secretaries throughout the
country enjoining their participation
in national ship y-truck good roads
week, to be observed May II to %.
TN this connection" writes Mr..
Atkeson, II heartily approve. OF the
general idea involved in ship by truck
good roads week and attention that
will thereby be directed to the prob
lens of highways, transportation and
distribution"
AS a preface to his letter. Mr.. At
keson says:
The national grange believes that
the time has come when all national
government highways should be uni
fed in single administrative depart
mcnt and that national highway
law should be worked out which will
serve the welfare OF the whole coun-
try and di.tribute the EXPENSE OF
highway construction equitably be-
tween the beneficiaries.
Expressing his belief that there Is
place for the motor truck In agri-
cultural pursuits, Mr.. Atkeson con-
tinues:
at is conceded that there Is a
place for the motor truck on the
farm. and most particularly does this
apply to the economic use of the
motor truck by farm associations. To
secure the most satisfactory and
beneficial use of the motor truck the
nation. the state. the county must
have suitable permanently construct
