TEUTON STATES FIGHT UNION
Bavaria and Saxony Voice Opposition
to Giving Berlin Control
of Nation.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The suggestion
originating in the Prussian diet and
the national government to sound the
sentiments Of the federated states on
the question Of creating unified Ger
man state has aroused opposition in
Bavaria and Saxony.
The proposal was introduced by the
coalition bloc of the Prussian diet.
The press dispatch from A4unich
says the majority of the Bavarian
people are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that tends to obliterate their
time-honored prerogatives.
In a general debate on the issue In
the Bavarian diet, the parties, with
the exception of the majorities and
the Independents, opposed the scheme.
The ultra left radicals, however,
declared that they favored it and re-
quested the Bavarian government to
direct their efforts in that direction.

Washington. May 17.--More than
5000, 600 barrels of the reserve stock
OF crude oil was consumed during the

In the United States the yield OF the
North Texas field apparently has reced

the decline. Unless new fields are dis
covered there. the production IN 1920
will be less than in 1919! Promising

anticipated.

Foreign Material In Wheat
The foreign material usually found
In wheat may become mixed with the
wheat while growing. or with the
grain at the time of threshing. or in
the elevator or other place Of storage
during the various processes Of ham
ding or marketing. The presence of
foreign material in wheat at the time
of threshing may be the result Of i'm
pure seed. OR OF certain weather con-
ditions which are unfavOrable to the
growth Of wheat plants but favorable
to the growth Of weeds. II the seed
is carefully selected. cleaned, tested
and treated before planting. il care is
exercised In the cultivation and crop
rotation. and IL the wheat is carefully
threshed and cleaned at the time Of
threshing, there should be ordinarily
very little foreign material present
when the crop is marketed. The for
eign material In wheat may seriously
affect it's value in that it often in
creases the cost OF milling and causes
Injury to the baking qualities OF flour.
Therefore, that factor is considered In
the inspecting and grading Of wheat.
The amount of dOckage present has a
bearing upon the commercial value of
a lot of wheat. Especially when
present In large amounts, 1t IL fac

parties interested in the marketing or
