NEW YORK, July II R.-The cot

decline of 2 to points in response to
relatively easy Liverpool cables. Ia

ports and the standard cloth statistics

Offerings were mot heavy, and were
well enough absorbed by covering and
trade buying to hold the market STEADY

Probably no more outstanding COM
mittee of scientists have joined hands
in any one movement in recent years
than the specialists just appointed by
the United States Secretary Of Agri-
culture to study and report on the
fruit fly in Florida.
These specialists. in addition to the
department experts, were selected be-
cause Of their special qualifications in
scientific work.
Those appointed include Vernon KEEL
logg, secretary of the National Re-
search Council, Washington, and
friend of President Hoover; H. A: Nor
gan, president Of the University Of Ten
nessee; Dean Thomas P. Cooper, Col
lege Of Agriculture, Lexington, KY;
Victor r. Gardener, professor Of horti-
culture, State College at Lansing, Mich;
T. P. Headlee, professor of entomology,
Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.
j.; Prof G. A. Dean, Department of
Entomology, State Agricultural Col
lege, Manhattan, Kans., and H. J.
Quayle, professor of entomology, Uni
versity of California.
In view of the enormous expenditures
clearly needed for the complete eradi-
cation of the fruit fly, and because of
the nationwide concern in the prob
lem, this group of specialists met at
Washington Monday, and will proceed
to Florida Immediately for intensive
study.
Florida has overcome many obstacles
in recent years. land boom, which
collapsed; a hurricane, unfavorable
publicity. The vigor with which Flor
ida's citizens have tackled the prob
lem of the fruit fly means that she also
will overcome this obstacle in her path
to greater progress and prosperity.

CANADIAN WHEAT
I. PROSPECTS SHRINK
Drought Prevents Chance of Bum

on Hand.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Ial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 11.-Drought in
the last part Of June and the first OF
July has dashed hopes of q big Ca
madam wheat crop. This became evil
dent today from reports from widely
separated wheat-growing districts Of the
ample Canadian wheat to put another
obstacle in the road toward relief for
the American wheat grower. Moreover,
there are huge stocks of Canadian wheat
on hand, in elevators and granaries.
Earlier this year estimates of the Ca
madam crop were as high as 40O, 600 600
bushels. Now conservative grain men
anticipate yield of ESQ. ooo, 900 to PTS
000,0 bushels, or little more than
half the crop of 1928. The return to
Canadian farmers will probably be less
than half what wheat yielded them in
1928. The latter figure Is placed at
$403 100000 although some growers
who are pool members have not yet had
a final payment for their 1928 grain.
European demand Is not strong and
world production is up. The recent
Canadian northern and for the
weighted average of all grades than at
any time since 1928. It has been found
that stocks Of Canadian wheat in stor-
age usually advance sharply when world
production is high. An increase of l
per cent in world production usually
brings an advance in Canadian stocks
in elevators of 2 to per cent. In the
meantime Canadian wheat production
has been increasing at the rate Of nearly
IL per cent per annum since the war.
While the pool controversies, the
drought and the uncertain position Of
the grain markets throughout the world
have thrown many factors Of uncer-
tainty into the Canadian wheat situ-
alton, buAnesS conditions in Canada are
good, mo1ey Is not tight and there is
not any great feeling of apprehension
over the wheat situation. Part of this
optimistic attitude is due to the fact
that crops in Canada have been DIVERSE
fed to a greater extent than ever be-
fore. In some sections, however, a
strong demand is being voiced for COM
pulsory pool legislation.
