The credit bars will not b

bility OF paper" for re-discounting

ANSWER Is FINAL.
This, in a nutshell, Is the Govern
ment's answer to the farmers plea
Tor Federal aid to enable the produc-
ers TO hold their crops until they can
convert their products into cash at
prices satisfactory to them.
The Federal Reserve Boards fnsl
decision on the farmers appeals. and
new statement defining it's credit
policy in view OF the new agricultural
problems that have arisen, 10 expected
today. Delay in Issuing this impor-
tant document grew out OF the boards
acquiescence to the appeal of the cot
ton interests. chiefly the cotton "fsc-
tors" or brokers. who desired to SUBJ
nit additional facts.
No announcement was forthcoming
from Governor Harding as to what
the Federal Reserve system will do to
make IT easier for the farmers to Sc
cure accommodations at the banks to
lift them out OF their present imam
cial trouble.

But the views Of Governor Hard

emphasis in answer to demands of

peais, made II certain that the hard

cision is forecast, by the opposition
OF the board, voting almost as a unit
to any further relaxation of the rigid
credit rules, that would make II
possible for every producing group.
by franctic demands upon the banks,
to expend the paper currency to
such limits that the financial struc-
ture OF the country would be shaken
if not destroyed.
Higher officials directing the coun-
try's fiscal policy said today that
the story told by the various produc-
ing groups Is not a new story. Of
ficials were impressed with the fact
that the producers are defeating their
own ends. by stressing their financial
difficulties, which are considered
only of temporary character.

BIG BATTLEsHIPs.

The stay of the battle cruiser Re-
nown in our waters, says the Scien-
tifc American, has raised a discus
sion as to which are the longest
ships afoat. Of course, among mer-
chant ships the Leviathan, $50 feet
long, is the longest, with the I'm
perator and the Aquitania, each 900
feet long, of the Cunard line, COM
ing next. Among warships, the
longest in commission today are the
Renown and her sister, the Repulse,
each being 7S9 feet. But the long
est warship constructed and soon to
go into commission, is the British
battle cruiser Hood, which is 900
feet in length and about $4,000 tons
full load displacement. Our navy
department has designed six battle
cruisers S75 feet in length.

a super-wheat, containing an un.

anywhere from Labrador to Pate,

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard
OF California.
The new wheat, a winter brand
like other wheats grown in Califor-
MA, is an exceedingly early grain.
the earliest Of some 400 varieties
grown by Burbank. 1t was tested
by comparison with 6S of the best
wheats Of the world. Burbank
found it superior in yield, uniform
lty and all other desirable character
istics. It grows vigorously to
height of four feet on good, ordinary
soil, and thriyes in almost any but
the most extreme climates.
The super-wheat was tried for
baking bread, with highly satisfac-
tory results. The loaves were of good
color, texture and taste, the food
value OF the bread depending on the
high percentage of gluten in it.
Gluten has high food value and
contains from Is to IS per cent of
