the rocking chair, looked at the ther-
mometer to see that the house register
ed 10 and then turned on the radio to
listen to the game was far wiser than
the fan who paid real money and
gambled with pneumonia.
So until the weather gets warmer
more propitious for baseball, it will
probably be impossible to tell whether
the magnates are wise or foolish in
permitting the broadcasting of the
games.
Radio and the falling off in the
spring gate receipts in several cities
where the games are being broad
cast, has offered much food for
thought on the part of the mag
mates.

But the fact remains. In several
cities where the games are being
broadcast this spring, the atten-
dance has shrunk considerably.

" CHICAGO, Jan. 17.- (P - With ex-
port demand proving negligible, wheat
turned weak today near the finish.
"A decrease of 1,567,00 bushels in the
United States visible supply failed to
act as more than temporary incen-
tive to buy. Closing quotations on
wheat were unsettled, at the same as
finish to A@as cent lower;
corn Y to Is cent up; oats at shade
TO u cent advance, and provisions
showing 5 to 25 cents gain.
Recessions in wheat prices came
chiefly as a result of selling out on
the part Of discouraged holders after
the market had shown an early up
turn.
Throughout the day. however, fluc-
tuations kept within fractional limits,
the narrowest range in some time.
Offerings increased around $140 for
May, and there was evidence that
standing orders to buy We're in the
market at $1.39h.
Indications of another cold wave
tended at times to furnish some stimu-
lus to friends of higher prices for

there were decreasing and that demand
was likely to improve. Knowledge

PRODUCTION OFF WHEAT NOW
UNDERGOING A TRANSITION

farmers In many sections have cut their
per acre labor costs down 90 one-half
and In some cases to a third OF what
they were a few years ago. The combine
harvester has played an important part
in hi reduction OF labor costs as 1t has
reduced the peak b load at harvest
ing time. Formerly 1t was entirely pos
sible for a farmer TO seed 600 to 700 acres,
particularly II his conditions we're adapt
ed to both spring and winter wheat pro-
duction. and to summer fallow from 800
to 400 acres with a duckfoot ~cultivator.
but harvest labor was the chief obstacle
to such large scale farming. The new
combine enables him to cut II thresh
hts grain with very little extra help.
"a new Montana experiment station
bulletin which is now on the press points
out that combines are now spreading
over the entire state. Weather records
show that climatic conditions at harvest
time are favorable to the use OF the COM
bine in all parts of the state where wheat
is an important crop. Weather records
at Lewistown show the greatest amount
OF rainfall OF any important wheat grow
ing area IN the state and yet 1t is the
center Of the area which has made the
greatest progress in introducing the COM
bine method of harvesting.
The new experiment station bulletin
will point that it costs from Is to
IA cents per bushel to operate q combine
In a field that runs 16 bushels to the
acre. Where an auxiliary engine is used
to pull the combine a 1880 tractor is
satisfactory where the combine cuts @
swath OF not more than 16 feet. Losses
in the field are less with the combine
than with any other method OF harvest
ing"
