DU POINT DEVELOPS

Perfection Makes Dynamite
Proof Against Zero Tenn
perature.

WILMINGTON, Del. July THE
Du Pont Company has developed
and perfected formula for the
manufacture of straight dynamite
which results in that explosive be-
ing proof against freezing even in
zero temperatures. AS conse-
quence of this development. the
company has determined to discon-
tinue the manufacture Of its for
mer straight dynamite and hereaf-
ter all this kind of explosive will
be made by the new low-freezing
method. The perfection OF the form
ula is the result of years of expert
mentation in the laboratory and in
the field and marks one of the
greatest advances in the art Of ex-
plosives manufacture. Straight
dynamite has for years been the
standard of the world in nearly ev-
cry kind Of open work. but a dis
advantage has been its liability 90

degrees Fahrenheit. At any dyna-
mite loses some part. II not all. Of
its efficiency when chilled or frozen.
many attempts have been made to
make it low-freezing. The perfec-
tion Of the new powder" by the
Du Pont Company makes it possi-
BILE to use straight dynamite the
year around in industrial opera
tions. Thawing, with its loss Of
time and attendant dangers. has
practically been eliminated.

CALLS FARM LOAN
FAKE AND FRAUD
Farmers National Council
Says Stock Raisers Robbed
In Spite of L. S. Aid.

The $5O.0Oo.O00 loan recently ar
ranged by Secretary Mellon with
private bankers for the benefit of
livestock raiscrs of the West and
South was denounced as "a fake
and a fraud" by the Farmers Ma
tional Council yesterday.
The council officials. on behalf of
a group of farm organizations. soon
will present a mass of data to the
Secretary, which. they assert, will
prove that the banks are charging
extortionate rates of interest.
These rates, while varying in diff
ferent sections of the cattle belt,
are declared to be invariably higher
than the profit realized on live
stock, even under the most favor
able conditions.
The memorial to Secretary Mel
ion will assert that the same wall
street gang" are robbing livestock
raisers through the medium of this
loan just as they have robbed the
farmer on many other occasions.
The memorial is expected to con-
tain recommendations to limit by
law the amount of interest which
private banks may charge on farm
and livestock collateral. At the
same time similar representations
will be made to Congress.

BANNER YEAR FOR
WHEAT EXPORTS
Total for Eleven Months Sur.
passes Any Entire Year
In History.

CHICAGO. July 2. - During the
eleven months Of the crop year, ac-
cording TO Thomson and McKinnon.
we have exported more wheat and
-four than during any twelve months
in history. 1t is expected that the
foreign demand the coming year will
be in no way diminished. from this
viewpoint the outcome of our crops
would seem to be OF more than
ordinary interest Nevertheless.
there has been no outside interest
displayed in this weeks market. de-
spite decidedly unfavorable weather
for the spring wheat crop. The in
ference to be gathered is that the
investing public is not particularly
optimistic.
The growing crop OF spring wheat
has been forced TO premature ripen-
ing by the excessive heat. 1t is
quite possible that the threshing
returns. when received. will show a
very disappointing yield. Private
estimates OF the combined crop OF
winter and spring wheat show a
total yield of around S25.OOO.0o
bushels, which compares with the
final yield a year ago of 7S7 .0O0. 900
bushels. Excessive rains in the Far
Southwest have delayed harvests, in
addition to which. threatening re-
ports are disappointing as to quail
ity. So far as We can determine at
this time of writing. miIlers are not
inclined to take hold OF the new
crop freely. II also seems to be a
fact that the winter wheat farmer
is willing TO accept prevailing
prices. While conditions over spring
wheat have been of an incorrect
sort, there is vet time for some bet
termcnt. provided widespread rains
appear. The action Of prices hinge 5
upon the outcome of The spring
wheat crcp.

CzECHO-SLOVAKIA'S
BALANCE ADVERSE
Trade Figures Show Volume
Of Imports of 100000
Metric Tons.

NEW YORK. July 2-Foreign
trade figures for Czecho-Slovakis
for the year 1920. just received by
the Czecho-S -Slovsk Review. show an
adverse balance of about 1900 900. 600
Cs crowns. The volume of imports
was about 100000 metric tons and
consisted Of 81 per cent (anthracite)
coal. wood and peat; 2s per cent iron
ore; per cent cotton and the balance
in foodstuffs, oils and salt. All Of
these were valued at ll,oo0. 900, 900
Cs crowns.
Exports aggregated about $780,
900 metric tons. of which 75 per cent
was (bituminous, lignate) coal, wood
and peat Germany. Austria and
hungary; sugar formed SO per cent
Of the total and the value of all is
about $500. .0oo, 900 Cs crowns. The
amount of the adverse balance seems
large but when IL is considered that
cotton. wheat and -four were bought
at the peak markets and that ex-
ports were heaviest after the break
in prices, then an explanation is ap~
parent.
During May there were $4,000 peo-
Pile unemployed in Czecho-S -Slovakia
as against 10000 for the same month
a year ago. The strike in the metal
working industries. machine shops
principally, has been settled. The
terms under which the men returned
indicate the progressiveness of
Czecho- -Slovak labor and the stability
of the country.
When the collective agreements
were signed about two years ago
they embraced wages, a closed shop
for two unions and shop committees
with almost unlimited power to hire
and discharge. After three-weeks'
struggle, through efforts of the gov
eminent and DR.. Gruber. minister
| of social welfare, a new contract
was signed. 1t carries no reduction
in wages. but gives all union men
an equal opportunity in employment
and permits the employer to dis
| charge, without consulting the shop
committee. for sabotage of soldier
ing. Labor has promised to speed
up production. In controversies. a
committee of both sides headed by
government official finally deter

Cheese exports have declineo

though about the same as last year
so far.
With constantly reduced costs in
competing countries, the competi-
tion for foreign markets Is bearing
heavily on the outlet for the sur
plus of American dairy products.
New dairy developments in several
countries will probably have to b..
reckoned with in the next few
years.
The census of dairy cattle shows
a substantial gain over ten years
ago for 1920 as compared with 1910,
but further studies of these returns.
corrected for 1921. may not show
the gain to be so large as is ind,-
Gated. The Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates reported a decrease of 29s,-
900 in the number of cows on farms
from January, 1920. to January,
1921.
The cost OF milk, while decreas-
ing at present with the lowering
costs of feed and milk. Is still con-
siderably above the costs in coun-
tries which compete with the United
states for a market for the dairy
products surplus. High transporta-
ton costs are very important fac
tor, particularly in the case or
market milk for the larger cities.
IT is stated that Danish butter can
be landed in New York at about the
same cost as the product of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. Dairymen are
asking for a permanent tariff on
milk of 1-2 cents per gallon, but-
ter 10 cents per pound, cheese s
cents per pound, and condensed
milk 2 cents per pound, to cover the
differences in cost of production.
The conditions among dairymen
have been generally better than
among any other large group of
farm producers during the past
year. This is doubtless due more to
the regular cash income Of the
dairymen, being distributed through
the year. with costs constantly sub
ject to adjustment as cost of pur-

favorable price in the market. The
index of the wholesale price q,
milk for March. 1921. was 1886, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. while the retail pric.
was down to III, compared with
1913 as 100.
Since the beginning of the world
war the Importance of dairy pro-
ducts to the health of children ha,
been widely demonstrated by sciep-
lists and experience. The import
ance of preserving an abundan,
supply of fresh milk for the grear
city consumption centers is better
known than ever before. While the
use of substitutes for milk and min,
products in whole or in part has
been stimulated by the cheapness of
vegetable oils, the demand for pure
milk Is increasing. Dairying con-

Raw milk naturally does not en-
ter into international trade except
to small extent with Canada.
During the fiscal year ending III
June, 1919. we imported 2.591,555
gallons of fresh milk and cream.
and for the year 1920, 3,s89,140 gai-
Ions.
The balance of trade in butter
has shown a wide fuctuation dur
ing the last two years. Prior
the war the United States was re-
ceiving a slight excess of imported
butter. but during the war and up
to 1920 the exports greatly exceed
ed imports. The figures for 1918
show an excess of imports Of 616,-
900 pounds. while in 1919 the ex-
cess of exports was 25,037,o0o
pounds. In 1920. however. trade
swung the other way and we i'm
ported 37.454.172 pounds against an
export total of 17.4S7.735 pounds.
The import movement was check
ed early this spring. however, and
by the 1st of June the inward
movement of Danish butter had
practically stopped. Total imports
for April. 1921, were only 1870, 22-
pounds, against 5.065.020 pounds In
April, 1920. Butter exports at the
same time had increased from a
total of 1926 pounds in April,
1920. to 1,106,566 pounds in April,
1921. The enactment of the emer-
gency tariff bill raising the duty on
imported butter from to cents
per pound was a factor In assuring
a further swing in this direction.

densed milk has been growing and
