OFFERS TO COMBINE
|WORK OF BUREAUS
;
Coast and Geodetic Service
!: Head Makes Reply to
! Navy Hydrographer.

sCol. Z. Lester Jones, director of the
coast and geodetic survey, today told
the joint congressional committee
holding hearings on the reorganiZa-
zion of the government departments
chat he was absolutely certain we
could take over the photographic
work now in the Navy Department..
ANY class of men who give their
lives to the study of surveying ana
chart construction must certainly be
able to take over additional work OF
Il similar character" Col. Jones said,
speaking on the proposal to transfer
the photographic office Of the Navy
to the Department of Commerce.
The director of the coast survey
explained that such Il transfer would
mean additional men and ships. 1t
will take money up into the thou
sands of dollars if this work is given
to u.s." Col. Jones stated.
Not Ready to Make Estimates.
In answer to questions from MEM
bers of the committee, the director
said that he was unable to make any
exact estimate as to any saving
which might be affected by the pro-
poSed transfer of activities, but inti-
mated that the total cost would be
in the neighborhood of $4,000, ex-
planning that his survey would need

new officers. making total of

latter being reduction from the
A9J.000 now appropriated for the
photographic office.
Col. Jones scored the attempt to
prove the photographic office right
by discrediting another bureau" and
answered technical charges against
his maps brought last week by naval
witnesses. He said that many of the
photographic Office maps. in his opin-
ion, are but 'reconnaissanceS' and
stressed the necessity of permanency
and accuracy in the map and chart
making.
Cites "InvisibIe Expense" Item.
Col. Jones said he was not unmin6-
fiIl of the fact that the Navy has its
ships all over the world, but spoke of
the 'invisible expense" of this work,
which is not counted in the S495,000
appropriation for the local office of
the photographic Office.
The witness said that it hurt him
to be forced to come before the COM
nittee and answer charges made
against his service. and that he had
tie highest respect for the hydro
graphic office. and the Navy in gen.
eral. but felt that men who give
their undivided time to service could

whose primary training is in defense.
He declared that the Navy has had
fourteen typographers in twenty
three years.

rapher, will be allowed an hours re-

WALTER REEDPR0BE|
PLEA IS EXPLAINED
Author of House Resolution
Predicts Early Hearing
by Committee.

Confidence that he will be given an
early hearing before the House rules
committee on the resolution he intro
duced yesterday calling for a con-
gressional investigation of conditions
at Walter Reed Hospital was eX-
pressed today by Representative A.
Scott Wolff of Missouri. a democrat.
The resolution was introduced as
a result of complaint by the Disabled
American Veterans of the World War
presented before the House committee
on public buildings and grounds dur
ing the hearing on the third Langley
bill, which would authorize $4,000, 600
for disqualification.
OF this amount 5000. 900 will be ex-
pended for fireproof construction at
Walter Reed Hospital to take care of
some three hundred additional pa
tients. The Disabled Veterans, through
Sergt. Frank J. Irwin, national rehabili
tation chairman OF that organization.
and Capt. Thomas Kirby, complained
against conditions at Walter Reed and
urged that the additional accommoda
tion should be provided AZ Mount Alto
instead.
Seeks Real Conditions.
The question was raised concerning
the treatment of colOred soldiers I'm
beds adjacent to white veterans. Rep
resentative Wolff emphasized today
that his resolution for an investiga-
tion must not be constituted as an
attack upon the colored soldiers, but
an effort to find out what the real
conditions at Walter Reed Hospital
are, which he says, private investigation
has shown are improper for the colored
soldiers as we'll as for the white sol
dierS.
Representative Wolff showed mem-
bers of the rules committee today
letter which he has received from a
soldier under treatment at Walter
Reed thanking him for proposing the
congressional investigation AMI tell
ing him that he was afraid TO sign
his name because of the strICt Army
discipline at Walter Reed.

TN thousands of homes where one or more Of
J. the family are nervous and irritable the
cause may be hidden-hard to understand.
But usually, there's Reason"
Doctors and dietitians are very generally
agreed that people who are nervous or suffer
with digestive disturbances should not drink
coffee or tea because these beverages contain
drug, caffeine, and their use tends to increase
nervous irritability.
Many Of us just drift into wrong habits of
eating and drinking, though we usually know
better. So if there are nervous ones in your
family, suppose you make change-serve

Postum is pure cereal beverage 1t furnishes

WHEAT PRICES
ARE EXPECTED
TO INCREASE
Agricultural College Officials
Say More May Be Ex-
pected This Year
REASONS ARE GIVEN

Fargo, n. ID. June o4.-Whea,
growers of the Northwest may ~rea.
sonably expect more favorable re.
turns from their wheat acreage this
year say officials at the North Da.
kota Agricultural college who have
been studying the wheat situation.
Decreased acreage which means 4
decreased production plus an in
! creased demand will tend toward
higher prices per bushel thinks Dr.
A. III. Benton, marketing specialist
at the college. The acreage Of both
spring wheat and winter wheat has
been greatly reduced this year says
Mr.. Benton. Estimates show a prob
able decrease of SO million bushels
of wheat in the United States this
year as compared with last year.
In the Pacific Northwest dry wea-
Their has cut the yield prospects
from % to IS per cent. Reports
from 81 wheat producing countries
in the northern hemisphere show a
decrease in acreage of four per
cent. In parts of northern Europe
and particularly Poland Russia the
weather conditions have been ex-
tremely for a good crop.
The acreage seeded in Canada has
decreased 10 per cent and the yield
prospects are not as favorable as
they were last year. Estimates indi-
cate a reduction in yield of from
100 to $50 million bushels as com
pared with the Canadian output last
season.
Demand in United States
The demand for wheat in the
United States increases each year
at the rate of about 10 million bu
shells, due largely to a constant in
crease in population. There will
likely be, according to DR.. Benton,
only small surplus OF wheat for
export during the coming year. The
exportable surplus from the 1923
crop was between 1875 and $50 mil
lion bushels. This year with lar
ger consumption and a lower pro-
ducton there will not be, according
to present estimates, more than
third of this amount for export
even with the most favorable cir
cumstances and this amount may be
greatly reduced before harvest.
During the past season North Da-
kota wheat of good gluten content
sold at 20 to 25 cents higher than
similar wheat in Canada. This has
been a result of the 80 cent tariff:
and even with similar demand and
supply conditions during the coming
season there is every reason to think
that North Dakota farmers will be
benefited still further, since the
tariff has been increased from 3Oc
to AZ cents per bushel.
The supply of farm laborers is
becoming more plentiful and prices
of things that the farmers have to
buy are coming down. The buying
power of farm products increased

two per cent in April. Prices OF
farm products have remained at q
steady level or had an upward trend
while prices Of things that the farm
er has to buy have been declining
At the present time prospects for
a good yield in North Dakota are
very favorable and the outlook for
a higher purchasing power for farn
products is better than il has been
since the depression following the
war.
Three Movements
DR.. John Lee Coulter, president
of the college, mentions three move
mcnts are being in favor Of the
wheat grower of the Northwest.
These three are the tremendous re-
duction in wheat acreage and pro-
duction, the reestablishment of 4
sound situation in Europe, and the
increase in the population in the
United States.
at appears" he says, "that we arc
just at the point where we are shift
ing from a surplus producing coun-
try that is dumping our product on
a world market in competition with
the cheap lands Of Canada, Australia,
and the poems and peas

the transitional point that the mar

that the yield may fall off one bush

present indications are, however,

year approximately on the basis of

North Dakota has reduced her
wheat acreage from about 9,500,00
lcres in 1919 to less than 100000
acres to be harvested this year.
about 100000 acres has therefore

better evidence than this of the mag
nificent development of we'll plan
ned diversification program. More
feed and hay and pasture has meant
more cattle, hogs and poultry and a
surer income as we'll as better
living on the farm and altogether a
safer system of farming. ~
ITO the question will I'VE be on

that we must watch the weather
reports and reports on wheat condi-
ton during the next two months. If
wheat yield is increased by later
improvements as the season advan
ces we will evidently have a small
surplus for export and the world
market will have at least some bear
ing upon our price. On the other
hand if there is no Improvement. and
if the crop fails to develop as now
expected we will evidently be on a
domestic market basis and should re-
ceive the world market price plus
tariff.
