WHEAT SMUT TEST
MACHINE IS READY

Centrifugcs will be put to use by
the county extension agents in six
counties this spring to test samples
of seed wheat for farmers in deter
mining if their seed is infected with
smut, according to DR.. +. G.. Booth,
North Dakota Agricultural college.
The ccntrifugc is an innovation in
seed testing, making it possible to
determine in less than three min
utes whether smut spores are pres
cnt on wheat or other grains and
whether it should be treated with
formaldehyde or copper carbonate.
This novel and yet practical use
Of the centrifuge machine to aid the
farmer in smut control was intro
duced by DR.. Booth, who is in charge
of the smut campaign in North Da-
kota. The six counties receiving
machines and offering this type of
testing service through the county
extension agents offices are Cass,
Richland, Burlcigh, Towner, Benson
and Ramsey.
1.-THE centrifuge," declares DR..
Booth, lis very simple and cffec-
tive way to determine if smut spores
are present on kernels Of wheat. A
small sample of the seed to be test
ed, either wheat, oats, barley or rye,
is placed in bottle with some pure
water. The two arc mixed thorough
ly by shaking for one minute. The
water is then transferred from the
bottle to tubes mounted in the CEN
trifuge and whirled on the machine
for little over minute. The prin-
ciple involved in the separation is
the same as that employed in
cream separator and like cream
which is separated by the differ
cnce in its weight, the smut spores
are separated from the water and
collected in the bottom of the tube.
"This is the first time in agricul-
tural history that farmer has been
offered this type of service and can
definitely determine whether he
should treat his seed months in adj
vance of seeding time." states DR..
Booth, the originator of the idea.

farm BILL IS READY
FOR RELIEF SESSION
Republican Floor Leader Sug.
gests Advancing Meeting
Date Due to Progress

Washington. Feb. rs (AP) -
House republican leaders have i'm
formed President-elect Hoover that
they will be ready to transact busi-
ness at special session about April
10. Previously April Is had been the
date generally mentioned.
Representative Tilson. Connecti-
cut. the Republican floor leader, an
nounced that he had suggested this
date to Mr.. Hoover, who had ex-
pressed willingness to abide by
the judgment Of the congressional
leaders. Mr.. Tilson said the farm re-
lief bill would be ready about April
10 and that the tariff revision mea-
sure probably would be completed
for house consideration 10 days la
ter. Therefore, he said, the prospects
were that farm relief would be con-
sidercd ahead Of the tariff.
Tilson said the agriculture mca-
sure would require only about
weeks consideration in the house.
The tariff measure probably would
require from three weeks to a month,
he said.

Premature Explosion of
Dynamite Fatal.
Bu United Press

Bu United Press
COLDBROOK, Mass, Nov. 8. --
Five laborers were killed instantly
here today when seVenty-f1ve
ounds of dynamite exploded pre-
lnaturely.
The laborers, all employees of the
West Construction Company, were
engaged on tunneling job in con-
nection with the Swift river project
of the metropolitan district water
system.
The laborers, members Of a gang
Of seyenty-f1ve employed at the
shaft where the blast occurred,
were working in a tunnel about 400
feet below the surface when they
met death.
They had drilled holes and
planted dynamite charges, but be-
fore they had time to make the
necessary battery connections, the
dynamite blew up.
Two other laborers, who we're in
tunnel some distance away, were
rendered unconscious by the blast
but escaped serious injury.
The tunnel in which the blast oc-
Cured, when completed, will be be-
tween thirteen and fourteen miles
long, connecting the Swift river with

BY BEN STERN

MADISON, Ind, Nov. 8.-After
long chat with "Uncle Joe" CravenS,
Indiana's veteran Democratic lead
er, at his home here today, Reginald
H. Sullivan, mayor-elect Of Indian
apolis, left Indiana for jaunt into
the hills of Kentucky.
The entire southern state may be
included in Sullivan'S itinerary be-
cause when he left here, after
spending the night at Clifty Inn, he
did not announce his destination.
Walter w. Watson, Democratic
city campaign publicity director,
and a party Of indianapolis news
paper men are making the trip with
Sullivan. The party left Indian
apolis Thursday, as Sullivan wanted
rest after the brief but intense
political battle that resulted in his
election as mayor by a tremendous
majority.
Sullivan visited the old cemetery
west of this city, where are the
graves of his grandfather, great
grandfather and great-great grand
mother. The party also visited the
Lanier home.
Thursday night, Sullivan wrote a
letter to Alfred M. Glossbrenner, the

feated, thanking him for the tele-
gram of congratulation Glossbren-
ner sent him Tuesday night, and
expressing his appreciation for the
manner in which Glossbrenner con-

Even Tone IS
MAINTAINED ON
STOCK Market
Majority of Shares End
Day at Closing Averages
of Thursday.
GENERAL ELECTRIC OFF
Trading Volume Is De.
creased, but Small Blocks
Clutter Tape.
GENERAL ELECTRIC OFF
BY ELMER C. WALLER

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The stock
market became more like its normal
self today and there were no wild
gyrationS in prices nor in trading.
The market opened higher and
receded slightly so that the majority
of shares ended the quiet day at
about their closing averages of
Thursday. There were a few notable
exceptions, such as General Electric.
which was down 10 points at the
close.
Trading volume was much de-
creased, contrasting noticeable with
those eight, nine, twelve and sixteen
million share days Of the last two
weeks. However there were many
small blocks eXchanged-blocks of
5000 to 5000 shares-which clut-
tered up the tape and caused it to
run behind at various times during
the day.
Buying Orders Accumulated
Sales fell off to around 100000
shares an hour, whereas, Thursday
they were more than 100000 shares
an hour. In the first half hour
business was more than 100000
shares under the same period yes
terday.
Buying orders had accumulated
over night and traders were heat
ened by the recovery Thursday to-
gether with sharp reduction of
$656,000,000 in brokerage loans.
In view OF the fact that the mar
ket will be closed all day Saturday
many sold their holdings to be out
OF the market over the long holiday.
The market will open at the usual
time Monday, but there were rumors
OF another curtailed session which
were not verified at the Stock Ex-
change where it was said no action
had been taken to reduce the ses-
sions as they had been curtailed to
three hours the last three trading
days.
Decline in Sales
Sales for the three hours amount-
ed to 3,199,999, exclusive of odd lot
transactions. This compared with a
Uotal OF 1,1f2,1O0 yesterday, a decline
of nearly 100000 shares.
Today's retreat was an orderly one
after the initial bulge that sent
stocks up l to points.
1t was said that the market
Thursday came back without the aid
of banking support and this gave
further confidence to traders. The
outlook was for a series of quiet
markets with narrow price move
mentS.

DRIVING IS LIMITED
Minors Can Not Use Cars
to Attend Games.

Despite their prominence in the
curriculum, football and basketball
games are not recognized under the
exemption clause permitting minors
to drive motor cars to and from
school, Attorney-Gen James M.
Ogden ruled today.
The ruling was requested by Chief
Robert 7. Humes of the state po-
lice. He asked whether the Secre-
tary of states power to license mi
nors to drive cars to school applied
to driving to football and basketball
games.
"Use Of the permit for driving to
basketball and football games is get
ting far away from the intent of the
legislature" the Ogden opinion sets
out. "The undoubted policy of the
act is against licensing minors under
16 at all and the exemption is for
the exclusive purpose of going to
and returning from school,"
