portant role in the solution of the
fertilizer problem which has become
very serious one.
Taking the situation as whole.
a pronounced shortage in the pro-
duction of the better grades of hay
would seem certain and our advice
to growers is therefore to produce
as much first class hay as possible
during the balance OF the season.
We believe this advice is all the
more justified as in number OF
localities the hay being put UP now
is of poorer instead OF better quality
the present low prices making the
growers Indifferent. We believe
they will have reason to regret it
later on, when the market and gen
eral business enters period Of re-
covery from the long and unpre-
centedly severe depression.
The prospects for such all early
change for the better have been
greatly strengthened by the devel-
opments during the wee, which
brought the first substantial, realiz-
alton OF the long promised financial
assistance to the farming interests
of the country. The War Fiaance
Corporation started the ball rolling
with the granting of credit OF e
million dollars for the expectation OF
grain and cotton, and a syndicate
of New York bankers arranged
ninety days ,crcdit of SO million dol
lars for the expectation OF food and
feed products to Germany, 9 millions
of which have already been made avail
able.
This is good start and all the
more encouraging Because it shows
that it is now being generally real
lied that the fundamental cause Of
the depression of farming and BUS
mess, the lack of sufficient buying
power, can only be overcome by
credits, creating buying power, and
by nothing else. All indications are
that this policy OF creating adequate
credit facilities for the moving OF
our products will from now on 'oe
carried on uninterruptedly and the
reviving effects OF it will then make
themselves felt before long iii ali
directions.
There were 1905 tons of grain and
alfalfa hay received on the Los An
geles tracks the week ending July
23rd. with $50 tons held over. There
were 1706 tons of grain and alfalfa
hay received in San Francisco.

ALFALFA CONDITIONS
IN CALIFORNIA

Receipts of alfalfa hay in the Los
Angeles market were again lighter
for the week, probably the lightest
on record for this time Of the year.
when ordinarily the movement to
central markets is heavier than at any
other time.
The explanation is undoubtedly to
be found in the low prices, ruinous
to the growers, prevailing in that
market and partly in the fact that
in many sections growers are doing
a fair amount Of business in local
markets.
The underlying cause of the lack
of seasonal activity in the Central
markets is of course the fact that
the middlemen system has broken
down the most important func-
tion to the grower, of adequately
financing the movement Of the crops
Of the country This is, however,
not the fault of the middlemen but

In the southern part OF the state

PIRATES IN THE
NORTH ATLANTIC
This Recently Founded Belief is Sus.
tanned by Fact that Ships
are Missing
CAssociated Press)

Portland, Me-, June 21.-The theory
that pirates are afioat in the North
Atlantic has found credence here. Be
lief that this is the explanation of
the fate of recently missing ships has
grown with the establishment of the
fact that message in bottle picked
up near Hatteras two months ago
purporting to explain the disappear
ance of the five-masted schooner Car
roll A. Deering, the mystery ship of
the Diamond Shoals. was written by
Henry Bates, of Islesboro, Maine,
member of the crew. The question of
its genuineness was settled today by
handwriting experts. The note stated
the schooner was captured by an oil
burning craft something like a SUBJ
marine chaser. that members of the
crew were being handcuffeerd and
that everything was being taken off.

TAKING MUCH INTEREST
IN JAX ELECTION TODAY
tAssociated Pre.s)

Jacksonville, June 21.-Jackson-
ville's municipal election today, which
ordinarily would involve merely the
ratification of the selection of officials
in the white primary several weeks
ago, and which would be participated
in by comparatively few of the regis
teerd voters, win be enlifened by the
efforts of six negroes to win seats in
the city council. 1t is the first time
in many years negroes have sought
public Office here and it is expected
each of the candidates will poll a
heavy vote as numerous mass meet
ings have been held in churches and
clubs and every negro voter has been
urged to go to the polls
George E. Madison and C. C. Mani
gault, are the negro candidates for
couneil-at-large; George E. Ross from
the sixth ward, II. R. Walden from the
ninth. w. J. Jameson, thirteenth. and
Robert p. Crawford, eighth.
The principal step taken in the ef-
fort to defeat the negro candidates
has been the urging of voters to IA
miliarize themselves with the names
of the white candidates, as under the
law the names of the negroes go on
the ballot without distinction. Efforts
also have been made to induce the
voters not to "single shot" IN voting
for councilmen-at-iarge. six of whom
are to be elected Single shotting,' .
it is claimed, would give a few can
didates very heavy vote, the re-
mainder a light vote. and the solid
negro vote in favor of the negro can
didates probably would result IN their
election.

for six rounds and again at 20 rounds.
The following year promised to be
even more successful In one of the
earliest bouts he knocked out in one
round Wetinck, who had nearly held
him even in one of the 1907 contests.
Four victories by kneckouts and nine
bouts on on points. including triumphs
over Charlie Ledoux and Paul Til,
both famous bantams, comprised the
record for the year until Carpenter
ran into Gloria, veteran, who stop
ped him in six rounds.
This was the first time that the
Lens youth had taken the count. De-
feat at the hands of more experience
ed boxer did not discourage either
Carpenter or Descamps for, on the
whole, Carpenters development had
been phenomenal and none recognized
that fact better than the shrewd little
man who has piloted the boxer to his
present pitch of prominence.

New York, June 21.-The American
Relief Administration today gave out
a statement received by it from Pres
ident Hainisch of the Austrian repub-
lie in which he praises the results at

litically."

much as the American Relief Admin

ond year of its operation this seems

gratitude felt by the Austrian govern
ment and the Austrian people to the
people of America for their great and
effective action of generosity and
brotherhood
assurances of health and strength
for our coming generation, to which
the American relief has contributed
so splendidly, means for Austria a
greater and more successful nation"

the American operations automatical-
ly cease Sept. 1, 1921.

Newport News, June 21.-The huge
bombing seaplane from the naval base
which was to take part today in the
bombing of the former German sub
marine U-117, crashed into Hampton
Roads this morning. An explosion as
the plane struck sent water high in
the air and ratified windows in houses

few minutes later. The crew of a
water boat nearby said ten men were
aboard the machine and all were saved
but appeared badly injured. They re-
ported two heavy explosions as the
machine struck the water. but did not
know whether they were caused by
bombs or the gasoline tanks.
