'heat makes the best bread.
Smut tax on wheat on most farms would
make, if prevented, a very satisfactory profit.
There are many ways to treat smut with formal
dehyde and while there is probably not a farmer
IN the spring wheat belt who does not know and
realize The advantage Of smut free wheat. Yet il Is
q fact. that a great proportion Of farmers neglect
to treat their wheat for smut entirely or do so
only occasionally after an unusually bad smut
year.
Every good farmer knows how to treat his seed
with formaldehyde although very few take this precau.
ton every yeaf. The increase from formaldehyde treated
seed il often AZ much al four bushels per acre owing, NO
doubt. to the fact that the seed carries other disease
parasites besides smut. No man can afford 10 take the
chance because the treatment Is both cheap and easy.

FAKE LETTERS OF

Exporters in U. S. Warned
Against SwindIing Game

NEW YORK. Sept 30.-AmeriCan
exporters have been warned by the
American Chamber of Commerce for

by which attempts have been made
to extract large sums Of money from
American merchants through fake
letters of credit emanating from
Greece
These credit letters. says a state

without any previous negotiations,
and offer terms for the delivery of
goods in Greece so liberal that they
are staggering. American exporters
are permitted in these letters to
charge market prices and make
whatever arrangements are desr.
able, although urgency for the de.
livery of the goods is generally ex-
pressed
Exporters are told that payments
for the goods will be made in dollars

PUBLIC T0PAY
COST Of STRIKE
IN COAL FIELDS
Bill for Industrial War Will Be
Put Up to Consumer,
Economist Says.
BY w. ii. ATKINS,
International News Service.

The public's pocketbook nerve
most sensitive of all nerves in the
body politic-is now feeling the
effect of industrial war losses.
These losses are huge. The public
has begun liquidating the bill for
the trays between capital and labor
by paying higher prices on some OF
the chief necessities OF life.
Higher prices on articles that are
Indispensable in the households of
the land may go through the entire
winter and into next spring be-
cause of this years periodical labor
scrap.
High cost of coal will be at the
root of most of the financial
burdens of the people. Everything
that industry manufactures will
take on an added cost, because the
overhead charges OF operation are
thereby increased.
Coal BarOns Lose Nothing.
Only the coal barons will derive
comfort from this new era of infla-
ton. State price control. now re-
lied upon by the Federal Govern
ment to hold prices Of fuel in
check, can be at best only a par
tial success in restraining extor-
tion. The coal operators figure to
win in any event. 1t Is no secret
that they have laid their plans to
double their normal profits on all
coal sold this winter. In the end
they will lose nothing by the long
tie-up in the mines.
First results of the industrial war
which has embroiled both railroad
and coal Industries was recession in
commercial and industrial activity.
Industrial activity slowed down con
siderably because of scarcity Of coal
supplies. The difficulties of trans
portation have also been a retarding
factor to business. AS winter ap-
proaches these troubles will probably
become aggravated.
Along with this slaCkening OF in
dustry there is sudden shortage Of
some commodities and a sudden ad-
vance in prices. Official figures
show the most notable increases in
prices have occurred in coal, aninal
products, cotton and sugar. The in.
creases have been general in the
wholesale and retail trade.
May BE Suffering.
When mid-winter comes four
months hence-the country may wit.
ness not only high prices but wide.
spread suffering, especially among
the poor unable to pay extortionate
prices for fuel needed to keep them
warm. None of the responsible of.
ficlals of the Government, studying
the coal situation, can see far enough
ahead to predict that the country
will escape period of great distress
during the cold months.
One thing is certain and that is
the country is so far behind in it's
coal supply that the mines even at
top speed operation cannot mine
enough coal TO supply the needs of
the people. 1t Will be hand-to-
mouth supply for all consumers. And
1t will be obtainable only at famine
prices. The millions OF poor people
1t now seems certain are doomed to
go through freezing weather in thou.
sands of cities and towns without
fuel.

GOOD BEET SUGAR
YEAR FOR EUROPE
Output Now Expected to Be
225,OOo Tons Greater
Than in 1921.

The beet sugar output in Europe
this year, exclusive of Russia, will
probably be 225.OOO tons greater
than last year, according to a re.
port just received by the Deparf-
ment of Commerce from Special
Representative Dennis. On Angus,

This summer the weather favored
the leaf growth rather than the

last summer, with its protractCl

Taking the last available figures
for 'the four principal producing

show sugar content of 1873 per

nine pounds was absorbed for do
mestiC consumption and twenty
seven pounds for industries such ns
fruits, preserving, confectionery

CH|LE'S FORWARD
TREND IS HALTED
Less Activity in Nitrate Market.
Much Wool on Hand; Lit
tie Moving.

The surprisingly rapid improve
ment in economic conditions in
Chile which has been the Outstand-
ing feature of reports from that
country during July and August
was less marked in September. says
n cable to the Department of Com
mcrCe from Commercial Attarhe
Mcqueen. Santiago.
Less activity has been manifested
in the nitrat" market, although in
creased exports. principally of that
commodity, yielded the Government
approximately l.OOO,OOO gold pesos
over the previous month in export
duties Nitrate TO the amount of
10000 metric tons was exported
during August. and exports for both
July and August have exceeded
production by 100000 tons. The
stock on the coast at the end of
August is reported at 1,530,000 tons,
and sales since July |, at nearly
100000 tons. The restricted sale
of nitrate is reflected in lower
charter market than last month.
1t should be understood th<t
policy of restricting sales has bvCn
adopted by the Nitrate Association.
Large quantities of wool are on
hand at Punta Arenas. and move.
ment is light. Wheat and flour are
being imported in considerable
quantities from Argentina. While
statistics are not available. exports
particularly produce, appear to be
smaller than during July. There is
an encouraging demand for all
staples.
Imports in general remain steady.
An upward trend in prices of stocks
on hand is noted. and foreign prices
on. these goods are firmer.
The national budget for 1928 under
consideration amounts to $4,000, 900
gold pesos, and 2S7 100000 paper
pesos. Paper money in circulation
on August 81 was 267 900 900 pesos.
The recently authorized external
loan will soon be offered by tender
in the United States and England.
There is urgent need of funds to
relieve the local market of the loan
of government obligations, which
pow weighs SO heavily upon it.
The amount Of surplus funds in
the banks is somewhat lower and
there is prospect of tighter money
market.
The strikes and general labor
unrest lnat nave ndu SuCn unlOl'
tunate results in Chile during the
recent past appear to he deCrea sing.
The payroll Of the Chilean EXplora
ton Company is now larger than at
any time last year, numbering $500
men.
The COastwise shipping law which
recently went into effect, prohibiting
foreign vessels from engaging in the
coastwise trade, has resulted in high.
OF rates in that trade. This should
react in favor of foreign imports
into the nitrate ports.
