CANADIAN WHEAT
CROP HALF SIZE,
EXPERT REPORTS
B. W, Snow Estimates
American Yield at 450,-
100000 Bushels.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, July 29.-B. W. Snow,
leading crop expert on the Chicago
Board of Trade. who returns Mon
day from a tour of Canadian wheat
regions. today estimated the Cana
dian wheat crop at little better than
half the 1923 harvest.
A yield Of approximately 100000
900 bushels in the three largest grain
producing provinces, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and Manitoba, was the esti-
mate of Snow.
In the two most fertile wheat
provinces, Saskatchewan and Alder
ia, said Snow, the season has been
bad from the beginning and a crop
shortage is now determined in every
thing except amount.
Rainfall Light
The most important producing
| districts have been without suffi-
cient rainfall all through the season,
and millions of acres north of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad can never
be cut for grain"
/ ~ " llA4S Lille QGCIdI6Q OIlOWt
''the situation in Manitoba has been
generally favorable, however. Spring
started in with prolonged dry per-
| iod, but rains about the middle of
July saved the situation.
IF Mantoba's acreage-more than
two and a half million-yields an
ordinary crop you can expect all of
$4,000 bushels for that province,
which is better than normal"
But the crop will be late, Snow
predicted Along with lateness and
the danger of frost, widespread
infection Of black rust has made it's
appearance, Snow said, While rains
tend to check this blight, according
to the forecaster, no one has the
right to say whether it will or will
not seriously injure the crop.
Figures on the American crop
show, on the other hand, much
cause for rejoicing, Snow asserted.
If the wheat yield in the United
States reaches 100000 bushels, as
there is reason for believing, there
will be at least 5000, 200, 900 increase
in the value of the United States
crop, allowing a margin of 40 cents
per bushel over last year.
The extent Of the wheat carry
over in the United States as esti-
mated by Snow is as $4,000, 900
bushels held by mills and elevators
and 81 100000 bushels in the hands
Of farmers.
Better Adjustment
The underlying cause for the radi-
! cal reaction in grain values in the
last five weeks. as given by Snow.
was not anticipation of marked
world shortage, so much as a better
adjustment between supply and de-
mand. Z
In other words, the probable worlds
crop is no bigger than the estimated
world margin of consumption, leav-
ing an equilibrium that has not ex-
listed since the war.
THE sore spot in the prosperity
OF the American farmer has been
the fact that farm products were
out of line with price Of staples
which the farmer had to buy. The
last five weeks readjustment of this
relationship has restored the buying
powers of the farmer and presages
general upward movement in all de.
partments of national trade.

THE automobile has brought
about a great change in the life of
street car motorman." said James
A. Lynch, instructor of motormen
for Indiana polls Street Railway
Company since 1915.
1T used to be that horse would
get out of the way of An approach
ing street car. If the driver didn't
have sense enough to, but auto
mobiles do not have brains. The
reckless driver is our greatest
problem" he said.
The motorman is a highly trained
man; the automobile driver Is any
one who can get ahold Of a car. The
driver of an automobile may be
young or old; rattle-headed or atten-
tive; responsible or careless. He may
flirt with the giggling girl at his side
or gaze at the scenery instead of the
road. He may drink all he likes. He
guides a machine faster, more err
ratio, less comfortable and more dan,
gerous than a street car, and needs
more qualifications than a motor
man, yet has less.
Worse Than Speeders
Lynch believes that the improper
driver is more dangerous than the
occasional speeder who knows now
to drive" Persons who are driving
cars all the time, such as taxi driv-
ers. seldom ever have accidents-one
reason is their job depends upon eff.
ficiency. Usually it is the owner
who does as he pleases" that gets
in trouble. Many persons when they
buy a new car will attempt to drive
with only two or three hours i'll
strucuon, and take their dear ones
along, endangering their lives
Lynch makes motormen out of oil
kinds of folks. They send him ma
chinists, electricians, policemen,
teachers, preachers and occasionally
a newspaper men. and expect him
to make a first.class motorman.
Prefers Farmers
ITO take a car through congested
downtown districts without accidents
requires a capable person. Men be-
tween the case of 80 and 40 are most
responsible. 1 prefer men from the
farm, too. They're more careful, 4"
lynch said.
IF motormen were one-third as
careless as half of the automobile
drivers, there would be five times as
many accidents as there are today.
Most people think it is easy to
run a street car, and they laugh
when they find it takes from eight
to ten days to learn it," said Lynch.
Recently policeman, who had
more than an average education,
applied for a job. When he was
told to ride with an experienced man
three days he said: ''It doesn't take
that long to learn to run a street
car, does it?" After a few hours
he was given a chance to operate
a car and threw up the job when
he saw the responsibility entailed.

value.
The Legion Auxiliary has, accord
ing to announcement of its president,
Mrs. E. Z. Laubaugh of Boise, taken
upon itself the task of raising by
sales of various kinds the money nee
essary for purchasing the bronze tab
let that will carry the names OF
Idaho's hero dead.
Endorsements of all kinds, from in
dividuals and organizations of various
purposes, are flooding the association
offices, indicating that sentiment ev-
erywhere is strongly in favor of hon
oring the Idaho hero dead as they
served-as one. The following COM
munication to Director Davis, from
James A. Drain, recently elected ma
tional Legion commander is typical:
my own view has always been that
the most fortunate death a man can
have is that which comes to him as
soldier of his country, fighting for
what he believes right. And this ap-
plies to every individual, woman or
man, whether the death came in ac-
tual combat or in camp, in this coun-
try or overseas.
1--WE do not need to raise memoir
ial to our dead that we may remem-
Der them. We carry their memory
in our hearts and can never forget
them. A memorial rather expresses
for me our pride in our heroic dead
an announcement to the world in un-
terms of our joy in their
glory and our happiness in their high
estate.
