GRAIN PRICES
DROP SHARPLY
with OPENING
Wheat Decline Caused by
Strong Bearish Under
tone.

BB United Press
CHICAGO, March 4.-Grain prices
dropped sharply in the opening on
the Chicago Board Of Trade today.
Wheat prices slumped from ? to
SIS under yesterdays close. The de-
cline was attributed to the strong
bearish undertone which pervaded
the pit. Local traders upon news
from Liverpool that wheat was from
, q to "a lower on the opening to-
day while Beunos Aires receded
from "a to 3A. are beginning to
realize that the world price level is
becoming a big factor in the Chicago
market prices. Until foreign buyers
are willing to meet Chicago levels no
advance in the wheat pit is OK
pected.
Corn opened lower in sympathy
with wheat. Although the country
movement is steadily decreasing one
half of the corn crop still remains
on the farms and when that begins
to move, prices are expected to de-
cline further
Oats remained in the rut at the
due to the Over-supply. Ad-
g. yince in this grain is said by experts
TO be almost out of tbs question for
sometime.
Provisions opened higher in an
active market.

| A spring flowers which make
Il our gardens and public parks
beautiful are the gorgeous tulips,
crocuses, and hyacinths, which bold
" thrust their leaves above the
ground and often burst into splendid
blossom before the SHOWS have en-
tirely vanished before the mild
breezes OF spring.
What is the secret which enables
these and other flowers to beat their
rivals In the race to greet the
spring? 1t is that they grow from
bulbs. or bulblilSe stems, in which
food has been stored through the
long winters to give 10 the young
plants a quick start over other
plants which have 20 draw their
food from the soil as they need 1t.
Let us see how this food is stored.
Cut a tulip bulb i'm half. or an onion,
which is also a bulb. You will see
that it is made up of a number OF
thick neshy layers, protected by
dead, tough. papery leaves outside.
In the center are thick little bud
scales, from which the new plants
grow. The broad surrounding scale
leaves. as they are called contain
the food for the young plants held
in storage until they need it for their
growth and development.
If you look closely at n. crocus
bulb" you will see that it is
different from the tulip or onion
bulb. All the scale-leaves are thin
and papery, and the food is stored in
the stem itself. which is swollen TO
a white rounded lump. A bulblike
stem of this sort is called a CORN,
and the familiar crocus as we'll "a

Still other plants store food for

much thickened underground stems

that in the potatoe. which is our
most familiar tuber. tho scale leaves
