Wheat Grades Hearing

Henry c. Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
is holding hearing at Washington, D. c., this
issue of the Leader is being printed, to pass upon
the fairness of the spring wheat grades established
by Director Charles Brand of the bureau of markets
in 1917. Spring wheat growers soon found that the
grades framed in the interests of the mill
ers and grain spectators ard were even more un-
fair than the old Minnesota grades, which they sup
planted. When E. T. Meredith became secretary of
agriculture he promised their revision, but hears
ing held at Chicago last year was dominated by the
millers and grain buyers and the grades were left
unchanged. The influence of Dr. E. F. Ladd, now
United States senator from North Dakota is held as
primarily responsible for the early reopenng of the
grades question by Secretary Wallace.

parasitic jaegers, which prey upon the
other type Of gulls. The jaeger's longer
wings give more power and it can outfy
the others. Being more "clever" it does
not produce it's own food, but steals from
it's cousins.
When the ordinary gull gets bit of
food the parasitic jaeger pursues it, at
tacks it from above and forces the gull to
drop the fish or other dainty. Then the
jaeger swoops down, picks up the food be-
fore it reaches the water and flies off
with it,
Doesn't the parasitic jaeger show the
characteristics of some human beings?
Isn't the market gambler of the same
type? When the farmer produces some
food the speculator swoops down upon him,
attacks him and gets his produce, as it
falls, only to carry it to soaring heights
later. -. ../ -..- =
If the ordinary sea gulls had enough
sense they would organize and drive the
jaegers away But they haven't enough
sense-they are nothing but poor "gulls''-
in both senses of the word.
Farmers are beginning to use their
brains. They are organizing to drive off
the parasites. Every true American
hopes they win the success they deserve

the chamber of commerce. The educa- tional work in connection with the 1 campaign will be brought to culmina- tion Monday with a big meeting and luncheon for the majors, captains and team workers of the field organization and the Greater Phoenix" dinner, be- ginning at 6:3o o'clock in the evening at the Wentworth school auditorium, corner Fifth avenue and Culver street.
 It was planned at the outset to make 400 reservation for the "Greater Phoe- nix" dinner, the impression of even the oldest and most conservative of the citizens interested in the success of the campaign that such number would be the outside maximum that might be expected. It was pointed out that never before in the history of the city had the citizenship ever turned out in such numbers to attend a ban quet given to foster movement for civic upbuiIdfng and advancement. Ar engagements were immediately entered into with the domestic science depart ment of the city schools to serve 400 guests on this occasion The dinner was advertised through the local press and special notices mailed out from headquarters to more than 5000 pros pective members.
 Deluge of Applications
 The spontaneous acceptance result ing from invitations to make reserva- tions resulted in a veritable deluge Of mail and telephone requests pouring into headquarters. The maximum 400 covers was reached and passed Friday afternoon before 4 o'clock. Hurried negotiations with the school developed the information that an additional 100 guests might be accommodated by plac- ing tables in the large hallway ad1oin- ing the auditorium. The additional res- erva ations soon were all spoken for and 1t is now very evident that those who failed to hold the warning sounded through the press since the first of the week to make early reservations will be disappointed The dinner com mfttee, in fact yesterday afternoon dis continued the sale of tickets at o'clock at which time the reservations totaled $40.
 There is a bare possibility that all persons making reservations will not claim them and in that event they will be sol dto the first corners.

Three representatives of the American City Bureaus west ern district office in San Francisco, as- sited by batter of half a dozen or more typists and numerous local busi- ness men and public spirited women of the city of Phoenix have been engaged in making preparations for the supreme effort that is to be put forth next week.
