II is an ideal plant for the small

black satisfy because the skin is dark

delicate flavor until it has been frozen

When the root is scraped it will
turn black and have an unpleasant

Three varieties usually are offered,
the Sandwich Island. which produces
the largest roots, the long white and
the black satisfy or scorZonera. The
scorZonera is harder to raise than
the others and is not recommended
for the general run of gardeners al
though many connoiseurs believe II
to be of superior flavor.

BROADER CREDIT
FOR SOUTH
Secretary Hoover Expresses
Opinion AS to Warehouse
Receipts

Washington. June 1---Herbert Hoov-
er, secretary of commerce. takes
the position today that credit facil-
tiles Of the government should be
greatly extended in Southern states,
and that warehouse receipt should
pass as actual delivery of cotton.
Mr.. Hoover expressed himself in 4
letter addressed 10 John J.. McLaur!n
Of South Carolina. AIr. McLaurin
brough, to the attention Of the presi-
dent conditions in the South, and the
president referred him TO Mr. Hoover.
The secretary agreed 20 express his
conclusions in a letter. Excerpts
from the letter follow:
Il. I consider il vital that credit
facilities TO producers and legitimate
business be greatly extended in
southern states. Tha curtailments
through the reserve system have
served their purpt Sc in reducing
speculation and over planting: They
are now causing great hardships.
This is more a question Of volume
Of credit extended than OF the rate
OF interest demanded and requires
the cooperation Of both reserve and
member banks. believe most
bankers are now agreed that this pol
icy is necessary.
- We need better organized ex-
pert credit machinery. The north
ern bankers will, hope. succeed in
joint efforts with their southern
colleagu in creating larger instl-
tutions under the Edge law for han
ding cotton. 1t appears to me that
some measure Of safe credit could
cotton in European warehouses un-
der their own control for delivery
to European buyers against cash.
Perhaps cooperation among producers
and bankers could accomplish some
thing in this direction.
'3. For better marketing and
financing Of the cotto-,. industry the
proved so as to permit the issuance
of a cotton warehouse certificate Of
such form and character that * not
only can become the basis OF mobile
credit but also pass as an actual deliy-
cry of the cotton. This implies not
only guaranteed warehouse integrity
but acomplete determination IT
grade, quality and euantity. This
, is already current in some states and
needs TO be extended.

Loss ON Kansas Crops
Estimated That Farmers Are
Out of Pocket S75,000,000 On
Wheat Held Over From
Last Year

Topeka. Kans, May 31.-Shrlnkage
in values of last y"ai''s crops still IN
the bin on Kansas farms represent
a loss of approximately $7o,O00.ooo
to Kansas farmers. comparing prices
at present with those nrior to when
the slump set in last fall. This llS~
ure is based on recent report Is
sued by j. G. Mohler, secretary OF the
state board OF agriculture, showing
the enormous amounts Of grain still
unsold. on the 25,S50.00 bushels OF
wheat, or lS percent OF the entire
last years crop, the best price IN the
last six months has deterioated on an
average OF 81 bushel; on the b.
$4,000 bushels Of corn, 41.l per cent
of last wears crop still on hand, the
price has shrunk an average of more
than fiftv cents, and on the 23.929,-
600 bushels OF oats still in the farm
er's bins, the price shrinkase mas
been SO g cents bushel-an agsre-
gate shrinkage on these holdings
alone of sG5,52e 900, while the dec
reased value on other retained gram
crops would aggregate more than $l0,-
O00, 900 according to secretary Nohler.
This does not take into consideration
the decrease in prices on grains marx
eted during the past few months.
One western Kansas county
Roolls-alone has nearly 100000
bushels of wheat still on the farms
while fourteen Kansas counties have
in excess of 100000 bushels each.
To move TO market the volume OF
stored grains would require 100000
cars.
There was fifth more wheat and
four times as much corn and oats on
Kansas farms on April IL, than on
that date a year ago. A year ago 1t
was freely admitted by railroad otti-
ciais that it would be aphyslca: I'M
possibility TO move the old crop and
at the same time take care OF the
avalanche OF wheat which begins
moving from the farms about July l.
TIL, year, however, railroad officials
are now optomistic about coping with
the situation, although the conges-
ZION, admittedly is far worse than II
was a year ago. They point TO the
fact, however. that there were no
cars availa Bile a year ago while this
year there are plenty.
