GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. % tP--Crop dam
age reports from a wide extent OF
domestic winter wheat territory led TO
a brisk advance in wheat values to-
day after an early dip. Buying here
on broad scale was further stimuli
lated as result of advices that ex-
port houses and mills were active pur-
chasers of wheat at Winnipeg
Closing quotations on wheat were
firm, &c to lc net higher with corn
at &c to &c decline, oats unchanged
to 15c up, and provisions unchanged
to rise of 15c.
Heavy losses in wheat acreage were
mentioned as likely in reports from
numerous points throughout the cen
trail west Meanwhile, there were also
advices at hand that wheat and rye
crops in central and southeastern
Europe were suffering from heavy
frost and from lack OF snow cover
Incentives to purchase we're likewise
found in the fact that Argentine snip
ments for the week proved to be OF
less volume than expected, that Aus
tralian shipments were too light, and
that figures on exports from North
America indicated world shipments
would be under actual requirements
Offerings of wheat in Chicago in
creased on the advance, however, and
best prices failed to hold. Besides,
Argentine and Canada were both said
to be offering wheat more cheaply TO
Europe than heretofore, and Liverpool
wheat quotations today were lower
than had been expected. 1t was also
pointed out that the price of Liverpool
May delivery is only about 14Ac oveE
Chicago, about the smallest difference
so far this season.
Corn rallied temporarily with wheat
but averaged lower as a result OF fine
weather for corn movement The
bulk of today's corn receipts here went
to industries and elevators. Canada
was reported bidding more actively fo1
new Argentine corn, May-June ship
ment. Oats fluctuated with corn.
Provisions reflected upturns in hog
values and in cotton.

to the court in which he said: II
intend to show that on the night
of the robbery OF the Toms drug
store defendant Hunt was forced to
join defendant Hickman in thai
crime; and I'll show that the only
reason Hunt joined in that robbery
was his fear for his own nIe."

traying his clients character prior

selves allied in their objections to
Gilmer's presentation OF his clients
case, while side-by y-side. but divided
by a wide cleavage of interests, Hunt
and Hickman sat behind tneir law
yers, neither looking at the ether and
exchanging no signs of recognition.
The prosecution closed its testimony
with the reading OF a statement by
Hickman describing the Geath raid
on the Toms store and phtographlc
exhibit of his diagram OF events on
the fatal Christmas eve.
Recalling the battle between him
self and Hunt on one side and
Patrolman Oliver, shooting out lone
hand, on the other, Hickman's state
ment said: ST was shooting directly
at the officer. ! guess Hunt was too.
We were all firing at the same time.
I think shot six or seven times ana
I guess Welby did too
That the drug store robbery had
been carefully planned was the evil
dence brought out in earlier testl-
mony by Bruce Harrison, whose
statements also contradicted Hunts
declaration that no preliminary visit
had been made to the pharmacy.
Harrison said that he was in the
drug store the afternoon preceding
the attempted holdup and saw HlcK-
man and Hunt come in, inquire about
an apartment for rent nearby ana
take the opportunity to size up
the premises.
This testimony corroborated that
previously given by Mrs. Ruth TOMS
widow of the slain man.
Bullets that flew in the three
cornered fight between hickman,
Hunt and Patrolman Oliver in the
Toms drug store, together with the
empty shells elected from the blazing
guns, came to the front in todays
session Of the trial.
Hickman and Hunt both nave
agreed that the former was armed
with 80 caliber weapon and the
latter with one of 36 caliber. Today
testimony revealed that empty shells
of 80 caliber and .S8 callber were
found on the floor after Toms was
shot down.
Edward Crossan, arms expert, testl
fled that the bullet that killed Toms
was 800 caliber and that 1T coulc
not have come from a 30 callDeI
gun. He said that one $3.50 callbel
bullet might be shot from a 80
caliber automatic, such as Hunt said
he carried, but that a second couio
not be discharged. Two $3.50 callneI
shells were found in the store after
the battle. The only other gur
engaged in the three cornered fllslt'
lade was that carried by Patrolman
oliver, and it was OF AS callber.
When court adjourned 1t was an
nounced a session would be helc

St. Paul Reporter, which says that
5,573 truck loads of live stock were
brought to that market in January,
as compared to 3,710 loads in Janu-

1928, was 1854 as against 3,703 in
February, 1927. This makes a total
of 11,157 for the two months as
against 7,413 last year, a gain of 81
per cent.
Figures collected from thirteen
packing centers show that 922,643
animals were received by truck in
January, this being 334,994 more than

Soil erosion carries away 20 times
as much plant food as is removed by
crops. The real "soil miner" is not
so much the one who grows crop at
ter crop of the same kind without re-
placing plant food, but rather the
one who allows his precious soil to be
washed away, his land to be gulled
and destroyed, and the top-soil to be
washed away by sheet erosion. Fail
ure to terrace lands that are subject
to rushing waters is responsible for
much loss that might be avoided.
