at the present time is not one that
greatly concerns the American farm
er. I refer to the sugar crop. The
world supply of sugar today is great
er than ever before and the very low
price at which raw sugar is selling
seems to be justified by statistics.
Total Crop Values Enormous.
The total value OF farm products
based on prices at the farm for the
current season Is estimated at S14,-
600. 10000 This figure is equal to
the aggregate world production of
gold for 81 years; 1t exceeds by a
marked margin the worlds total avail
able supply of gold for currency pur-
poses: it Is $4,000. 100000 greater than
the entire foreign war debt to the
United States: it exceeds total mer-
chandise imported and exported last
year by $4,000, 900 900.
1t would require three years of rec
ord building such as was witnessed
in 1922, 1923 and 1924 to equal this
s14. 900 900 900 / might give many
other illustrations to show what these
crops mean to America, but let me say
In conclusion that they would pay
nearly five times all our annual ex-
penseS Of Government. including in
terest on the funded debt.
They represent five times the value
Of all our shipping and the value Of
one years crop would almost pur-
chase the country's entire railway
system. or anything else desired
General business is Still on it's up
ward turn, 1t now registering IL per
cent above normal by the Babsonchart.
The feeling Is distinctly better in most
sections of the country. Again Wall
Street was right in discounting these
improved conditions

Prices Believed Fair

The above figures would indicate
that present prices for wheat, corn
and other cereals are about right.
There should be no violent fluctua-
tons either upward or downward.
Such price Irregularities as we shall
see during the next few weeks will
be due to the fact that the period of
heavy marketing is at hand. Stats
tics show that Irregularities of price
usually occur after harvest time, or
the period of the year we are now in.
The estimated world total will clear
iy exceed last years volume, which
means that the violent price fluctua-
tions of year ago should not be re-
peated with this crop. The one crop
which is causing the most guessing

HAWAIIAN FRUIT IDEAL
FOR SYRUP PRODUCTIOII
Has Such High Sugar Content That
Extraction of Juice Is Cheaper
Than Artificial Sirups.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, September 20. - The
high sugar content of Hawaiian fruits
makes it possible to produce sirups at
a less cost than synthetic sirups are
produced on the mainland, 1t has been
revealed by experiments conducted by
DIR. 5. L. Oliver, chemist. who is ex-

ucational authorities have decided to

Bumper World Wheat Crop.

The wheat crop in 29 countries rep
resenting So per cent of the world
production, exclusive of Russia and
China, is reported as 1852 100000
bushels, compared with 2.626 ,000, 900
bushels for the same countries in 1924.
Statistics indicate a total world wheat
crop of over 5000. 100000 bushels. The
Russia wheat crop is given as double
and the corn crop as five times as
great as 1924.

World Crop Deciding Factor.
Instead of local weather being the
determining factor, as of old, the wide
awake farmer is more interested in
world crop conditions. Most sections
of the country approximate what they
raised the previous year, and generally
this approximation is a little greater
rather than a little less than that
raised the previous year. This means
that the prosperity of the farmer Is
not so dependent upon the volume
raised as upon the price of the prod
uct. Furthermore, the price today
depends upon world conditions rather
than on local conditions.
The price which the Dakota wheat
grower receives depends not so much
on the crop conditions in Dakota as
on the crop conditions in Europe and
South America

Evidence as to the cause of the ex-

detail that the coroner's jury at the

was operating the tank when he was
fatally injured by the explosion. CON

SUSPECT THAT GAS
WAS SOLD AS AIR
Contents of Companion
Tanks to One That Caused
18th St. Blast AnaIyzed.

The contents Of two green tanks
with white tops-symboliZing that
they contained compressed air-are
being analyzed by Bureau Of Stand
ards gas experts today. Until this
analysis is completed investigators of
the Fire Department and the Wash
fngton Gas Light Company, probing
the ineXplicable explosion which killed
one man, injured two persons and
caused a fire at the Federal Taxi Co,
2l2 Thirteenth street, Wednesday, are
at complete Standstill.
If it be found that the tanks con
tanned the compressed air they are
supposed to hold. the deadlock in the
investigation Will not be broken. The
probe can progress along this line
only If it be found that the tanks con-
tained oxygen or hydrogen or some
other intiammable or Combustible gas.
Marshal Seib Puzzled.
Fire Marshal l.. V. Seib. who has
been investigating fires and their
causes for many years here. admits
today that this explosion was the first
one he had ever encountered which
had him stuck"
Its cause cannot be definitely de-
termined without much more evidence
than is on hand at present. He said
that both he and the gas Company's
investigator We're awaiting the re-
port of the Bureau of Standards gas
experts. These experts had. just fin
ished setting up the apparatus to test
and analyze the contents of the two
tanks turned over TO them by the gas
company as companion pieces in the
shipment which contained the tank
used for blowing out ClogEed-up gas
pipes by gas company employees in
the Thirteenth street building at the
time of the explosion.

cir DOESN'T PAY" SAYS THE SWlNDLER WHEN CAUGH

Tt doesn't pay" said Leo koretZ, Chicago's arch sWindler, as he enter ed the state penitentiary at Joliet little more than a month ago, upon conviction and sentence of swindling hundreds of persons of a total of over $2,0O000 through illegal stock specu- lations Now KorteZ is dead, A few months ago Koretz was living in the lap of luxury. He had a peculiar flair for turing multi-millionaires into his swindling schemes. So success ful was he that some Of them begged him to take their money. He also 'gypped" many persons who are not millionaires or multi-millionaires.
 Finally his house of cards tumbled, and he became a fugitive. Caught at last, he confessed when he enter ed the prison gates, disgraced and broke, he told the world that 8 career of high financing doesn't pay" 4 great many men have discovered that fact, to their sorrow. So have many spectators and investors who want ed to "get rich quick" Yet the world seems to turn out a new one of both classes every minute despite repeat ed warnings and unlimited publicity of similar cases.

FRENCH AVIATOR KNOCKED
 OUT BY STRONG WINE

PARIS, Feb. 3.-Adjutant Floren- tin Bonnet, fastest man in the world was completely knocked out and uu- sconcious for fully 20 seconds during his record breaking trial at Istres. Dec. II, when, travelling at the rate of 448170 kilometers per hour, he Wrested the worlds speed champion ship from the American Lieutenant A. J. Williams.
 Bonnet, modest, retiring chap. never said a word about it until few days later in Paris, while watch ing a boxing contest between two heavyweights. Van der Veer, of Hol- land, 225 pound man, was meeting Marcel Miles, the veteran Frenchman when the former suddenly whipped a right cross to the jaw with a resound- ing whack, knocking the Frenchman to the canvas for the count of nine
 "I'lI bet Miles was not hit as hard as I was during my flight" volun- teered Bonnet, T was out for 20 sec onds. Yes, I'll bet even. Dempsey in his best hitting form never struck any one such a blow as I got on the jaw" he added. Surprised, his many friends asked for an explanation.
 Well, I forgot myself and stuck my head out from behind the wind shield before taking a turn and the wind pressure striking me against the side of the face knocked me clean out" said Bonnet.
