Wheat Slumps When
Outside Buying Slackers.

CHICAGO, Aug. ETA P.l-Lack
of outside buying and adviees that Ca
madam wheat was being offered at the
seaboard on the same basis as Ameri-
can grain caused a late slump in
wheat yesterday and tended to nullify
an otherwise strong market on the
Chicago board of trade. Wheat fin
ished lac to 1c lower, corn ruled un-
changed to 1-Sc higher and oats were
steady to lac higher In provisions
meats were generally unchanged, but
lard was from to II 1-2 points high
er.
After some early wavering, wheat
worked upward with fair steadiness,
until at noon December was 8 1-2c
above the low point of last Monday.
Houses with eastern connections
bought to remove hedges against ex-
ports and the local trade became bull
ish on statements that the farm loan
law was bound to help business. The
high point brought out increased pres
sure, the longs showing anxiety TO un-
load when the advance failed to slim
ulate business from outside sources.
The Canadian reports accentuated the
selling movement and as buying ceas-
ed all gains of the day were wiped out.
Corn was active and higher. A firm
undertone developed, which enabled
the srain to resist the wheat slump.
Oats followed the other grains, but
trade was dull and the range narrow.
Provisions were slightly more active

FORK for the first time in several days
Export demand and bullish sentiment
or the farm loan law were factors in
forcing an advance in lard.

Most apple growers remove all the
fruit from the trees at one picking.
Many, however. according to observa
tlons of the United States Department
of Agriculture, make two or more pick
ings during the season. especially when
the fruit Is not uniformly of good col

The advlsabillty Of making more than
one picking depends upon the extent
To which the size and color Of the
fruit are affected by the quantity
borne by each tree.
The apples on the outside of the
tree. especially the larger and better
colored onea. are removed at the first
picking To permit the limbs to lift
and expose the uncolored fruit to the
sun. This thinning also tends to bring
about an increase In size Of the fruit

should 20 over the orchard and exam
Inc every tree for borers. A very good
Indication Is the appearance of wax
near the ground. This Is almost n sure

II Is n rather slow process of get

only reliable way. Cut out and de-

This prevents fungous diseases to some
