4 Chicago crop expert at Nor'h
Platte, Neb., said wheat prospects
are poor, the wheat badly blown
and very dry, and that throughout
the western third of the state more
than 100000 acres are in crit
ical condition. He added that IL
rains are delayed much longer the
wheat crop OF the western third Of
Nebraska will be a total loss.
Comparative strength which the
Liverpool wheat market developed
today was emphasized by reports
here that the condition Of winter
wheat in Germany is only 81 per
cent Of he average for the last ID
years. This is the lowest percent
age at this time OF the season since
1922. There were also advices to-

At the same time the Democrats
will pick their dele cation Of 48 to
the Houston convention.
Although Dawes, who is q native
Ohioan, has insisted he is not q
presidential candidate, his available
ityshas been emphasized by the or
ganization in the Cincinnati dis
tricts which is supporting the slate
of delegates originally pledged to
the late Senator Frank B. Willis.
Willis Slate Support Urged
Republicans in Cincinnati, which is
considered Hoover stronghold,
have been urged to support the
Willis slate on the ground that
Dawes probably would reap the
benefit at Kansas City, and to write
in his name on the presidential bal
lot. on which also will be the names

Both Republican factions put
finishing touches on their campaigns
today, at the same time claiming
victory at the polls. There was less
interest in the Democratic primary
because Of a dearth of contests. The

pected to vote at the outset for Atlee
