WOULD DELAY PUTTING
WHEAT ON MARKET

Since the wheat market broke
from $14o a bushel Just prior to
the harvest. to so cents a bushel. the
recent price on western farms, the
farmers have lost the ability to pay
debts to the extent of 5000, 900. .0O0."
declared Gray Silver, Washington
representative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. yesterday in urg-
ing the Importance of higher price
for wheat.
Mr.. Silver figures there are in this
country nearly a billion bushels of
wheat and that the price Of wheat
has dropped 60 cents a bushel to the
farmers since just prior to harvest
This means slump of $500. 900. 900.
Since s1.00 of new credit will lioui-
date five times that amount of in
debtedness the loss of this $500. .000. 900
means that the farm COMMUNITIES are
thus deprived of paying off debts to
the extent of $4,000. 600. 600
Thus, IL 100000, 900 to zoe. 0oO. 600
bushels of wheat remain on farms

gested by Mr.. Silver, the farmers viii

much greater asset than il the old
method OF marketing is followed.

NEW YORK. August 4.-More at
tention was paid in the cotton mar
ket to weather conditions today than
to the change in Washington brought
about through the death of President
Harding. Most of the session the
market was under bull control, due
to the fact that southwest news was
unfavorable because of continued
drought October contracts advanced
to 22.6S, or 33 points above the pre-
vious close. and there was broaden
ing of outside speculative demand,
together with an active covering
movement, which gave the market a
very firm undertone.
A prospect that barometric condi-
tions in the west might result in
lower temperatures over Texas and
Oklahoma before Monday led to a
mid-morning realizing movement that
practically wiped out the early ad-
vance, but this was followed by a
strong upturn near the close that ran

Gold of Royalty
Turns Into Dross
When Purloined
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 4.-Thieves who
have repeatedly robbed the Kaiser
William Is bedchamber in the old
Kaiser William palace in Berlin.
have learned that imperial trap
pings are not always what they
seem. The marauders threw a
gold communion set into the canal
adjoining the palace after they had
found that the vessels were not
solid.
The incident served to recall
stories of other possessions of the
late royal family which also were
found wanting. When the German
government in its dire need of
gold called for contributions for
the prosecution Of the war, Crown
Princess Cecilie gave a handsome
pair of gold pitchers which had
been a wedding gift from a for
eign court. She and the crown
prince were much chagrined the
next day at being advised that the
pitchers were only plated. 1t is
still a mystery whether the for
eign manufacturer was paid for
gold or plated ware.
Car Nicholas once gave a set
of beautiful trumpets to a German
regiment for which he was spon-
sor. The instruments were sup
posed to be silver but it turned
out they were only light plated
ware.

BRIGHT SIDE NOTED |
IN FARM PUZZLE
Corn, Cotton and Other Crops
Are 0ffsetting Losses Due
to Drop in Wheat.

CHICAGO, August 4.-Granting that
20 cents less per bushel for wheat is
a serious shrink to the wheat farm
ers, what does it mean to the whole
country? 1t means. says Better
Farming, 20 cents times 100000 900
bushels. the probable wheat crop for
1923. which makes $16O,O0o 900 II
there are 100000 wheat farmers,
that means an average loss of $3.50
each. If the total farm income this
year totals the average Of two years
past (Which were not big years),
100, 100000 loss on wheat will be a
loss of Is per cent of the whole.
General LOWS Is Denied.
But there will be no general loss
whatever and here is where we are
going to look at the other side of the
picture. While wheat has been slip
ping down, corn has been climbing up
and now stands at more than 20 cents
above its price of twelve months ago.
But instead of Soo.ooo.Ooo we have
5000. 100000 bushels of corn to play
means an Increase of $500, 600. 900 in
farm income over that of 1922. from
among not 100000 but 1000. 900
farmers.
Cotton is second among the big
money crops. One year ago, July 1, il
was selling for 20.4 cents a pound.
July l just passed it sold for 26.2
cents. Assuming that the crop will
be equal to the last two years aver
age. there will be about nine million
bales. or $500. 900, 900 pounds. to en-
joy an increased price of about
cents a pound. You may, therefore.
add at least another s270,000,000 in
crease in farm income to balance the
loss of s160.000.000 from wheat.
Fine Hay Crop Outlook.
The third biggest crop in value is
hay. All we know about hay at the
moment is that its average price on
July l. $l1.69 per ton. is close to that
of July /. 1922, which was $11.9l.
But the crop looks larger and the
price future looks brighter, because
there are now better than million
more hay-eating animals to eat II.
million more sheep, and half million

Il. Extend over a period of many
years the work which is needed and

- Request the Congress to au-

attention TO the fact that the Dis

proper sinking fund provision, the
expense of these improvements,
which are of Scmi-permanent ma
