CHECK PROMISED
ON WHEAT RUST
Sulphur Dust Expected to Double
Bread Grain Yield
Per Acre.

ITHACA, N. Y. CR).--Doubling the
yield of wheat per acre in America
within 10 years is predicted by II. II.
Whetzel, professor Of plant pathology at
Cornell University.
This will be done. he says, through
application of a recently developed
method of wiping the rust parasites
from wheat by sulphur busting.
stem or leaf rust of wheat, like Its
namesake in steel, is an inconspicuous
scourge. It is a microScopical fungus,
visible only as a slight discoloration.
How devastating its effects have been
was disclosed fully only when expert
mental fields were protected successful-
ly from rust "
In Manitoba, Prof. Whetzel says. sui
phur busted wheat produced 40 to 5o
bushels an acre, against Yields Of put
10 to 90 bushels from fields unprotected
against rust.
Leaf rust Of wheat, long known IN
Southern grain areas, has not been con-
sidered specially bad pest. But ex-
detrimental sulphur busting, Prof. Whet-
eel SAYS revealed that this form OF rust
regularly reduced crops by about ~ 70
30 per cent.
The sulphur busting method has been
under experimental development ioF
several years in areas representing diff
ferent kinds of wheat growing condi-
lions. The work has been done by
many scientists. Prof. Whetzel was one
of the leaders in first advocating the
sulphur idea, which he got from observ-
ing the effects of the yellow powder IN
protecting snapdragons and asparagus
from forms Of rust.
The pathologist foresees power ma
chimes busting swaths SO feet wide IN
future grain fields He believes 1t VIII
take a decade to put over the cereal
busting idea, but that handsome profits
will insure success and pay the bills be-
sides. Two or three eiustings 9 season
are suficient, he says. when they are
timed properly.

WHEAT PRICES SAG

CHICAGO. April 2.--Reports Of salts
factory progress being made by the
growing crop of domestic Winter wheat
led to early fresh downturns in wheat
values today. Liverpool wheat quota
lions higher than due failed to act as
counter balance. Opening 1s to hs
off, Chicago wheat rallied little, but
then dropped lower than before. Corn
and oats were also weak, with corn
starting at "a to * decline. and subse-
quently undergoing further setback.
Provisions showed firmneSs.
Wheat traders here leaned to the
selling side of the market much Of the
time today, and found buying support
lacking as rule, except on declines
in price or from previous sellers, who
were in a position to collect a profit.
Absence of domestic crop damage re-
ports gave incentive for selling, as
did 2,048, 900 bushels increase in amount
of wheat on ocean passage. Meanwhile,
relative strength of Liverpool wheat
market was ascribed to lack of pressure
by wheat offerings from Argentina,
where port labor troubles appeared to
be extending.

CONV|CTS ON ARM
5000 to 5000 Acres to Be
Cultivated by State
Prisoners.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 49,
Alabama has turned to agriculture for
solution of its convict labor problem. A
gigantic farm project, designed to sup
ply work for at least 1000 prisoners,
calls for the early planting Of from
5000 to 5000 acres OF cotton, corn and
other crops on land at four major pris-
ons.
| Adjustment Of the convict leasing
system under Gov. Bib Graves brought
more than 1000 prisoners out of the
mines and ended labor that had be-
come traditional in Alabama. At the
same time it confronted the State board
of administration with the serious task
of finding employment for the convicts.
For time they were transferred from
the mining settlements to road camps"
where they were put to work on the ex-
tensive bodybuilding program that also
had been part OF Gov. Graves CAM
paign platform.
The program slackened, and while
the legislators are advocating a special
session of the State Assembly to author
lie a road bond issue the prison man.
power has been turned into agricul-
tural channels.
In accord with the plans of Alabama
growers to enlarge the States straw
berry industry, the prison department
will devote large acreage on the At

COTTON IS STEADY
IN OPENING SALES
Covering and Commission House
Buying Offset Early Selling
Pressure. tj,
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Cotton opened
steady today at decline of 2 to Z
points, with active months showing net
losses of about 10 to Is points by the
end of the first hour under further
liquidation combined with some Mem
phis and Wall Street selling. The easier
ruling of the later cables from Liver
pool and more favorable view OF the
weather seemed responsible for part of
the pressure which sent the price of
May contracts off to 20.47 and the
new October contract to 1887.
Trading was comparatively quiet,
however, and there was enough cover
ing or commission house buying to
steady the market at the decline.
Private cables said there had been
some buying in Liverpool against 5000
bales of cotton involved in warehouse
fire, with prices later easing on better
weather reports and continental SELL
ing.
