floor of the car. glass flying around
him. the canopy top falling over
him. However. he came out un-
scratched and the next time they
took the scene without using any
glass.

Stop Wheat Sent
In From Canada
TRADE COMMISSION DATA EX-
PECTED TO HASTEN ACTION
TOWARD AN EMBARGO

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20-Fig-
ures released today by the federal
trade commission in response to a
request of President Wilson are ex-
pected to cause quick action when
congress convenes, with view of
stopping the heavy influx of Canad-
ian wheat and wheat products.
The report is the result of an In
quiry by the commission to deter
mine the cause of the recent radical
decline in wheat prices, which many
northwest wheat growers declare is
driving them to bankruptcy. The
figures, gathered through customs
sources, indicate a decided increase
in the importation of wheat -four
during the second half of October,
1920, which was the beginning Of
the present slump Of which wheat
farmers complain. The importation
of wheat also is shown to have been
relatively larger for the same period.
Wheat -four imports from Canada
during the period October Is to 81
aggregated 97,032 barrels. an in
crease of the latter half Of the month
over the first half of 31.06S barrels.
The total import for October, 1920,
were considerably in excess OF those
Of any other month during the per-
iod from January. 1913. to Septem-
ber, 1920, the highest single month
ly importation during this period
being In September. 1917, when 108.
28s barrels OF wheat -four were I'M
ported
Wheat import from Canada into
the United States during the period
October is to 81 totaled 4,833.624
bushels, or a total for the month OF
9.784,307 bushels. The largest sing
le monthly importation during the
period from January. 1913. to Sep
tember. 1920. occurred In January.
1918. during the war period. when
7.339,130 bushels came In from Can
ada. The largest October importa-
tion In that time amounted to l.
754,797 bushels in 1916.
These figures show that wheat I'M
portation for October OF this year.
when the present price slump began,
amounted to Ave times that OF any
other October in the last seven years

1000 Rabbits Killed.

A thousand rabbits were killed on
Sunday In a rabbit drive at the G. w
Garrison place in Sarvis Canyon, l .
miles south of Echo, according to a
report received today by Fred Ben
nion, county agriculture agent. Last
year Mr.. Bennion co-operated with
west end farmers in constructing a
fence for rabbit drive, but by the
time the fence was up the rabbits had
fled. The fence was left and was used
with success in Sundays drive. Mr.,
Garrison reports that a great many
rabbits ran back because of the small
crowd of men to assist in the killing,
He believes there are more rabbits is
the Echo district this year than any
year in the past. Poison, used so eff
fectively in the Butter Creek and al
falfa regions, is less successful near
Echo as the animals do not eat al
falfa. Poisoned wheat will probably
be used later on.
