FARM BOARD WORK
AIDED BY WEATHER
Wheat Prices Gain and Out
look for Cotton Is De-
cIared Better.
BY J. @. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 16.-Now that the
Farm Board is formally organized. 1t
appears that the tasks of the organiza-
ton will be less severe than was antici-
pated when Congress authorized the
board as a measure of farm relief.
Wheat prices have gained materially
in recent weeks. Visitors arriving here
today from the South. who have made a
careful and expert analysis of the situa-
ton there. express the belief that cotton
prices will advance materially above
their present levels and that the crop
will be short.
This opinion is based on the following
reasoning: The Department OF Agrl-
culture figures show that the acreage
was increased by cotton planters this
year by $4,000 acres to 48,457Ooo.
This was only about third OF the IN
crease expected Reports from the
country as a whole indicate more wide
spread weevil infeStation than at any
time since 1921. when the weevil TOOK
toll of 80 per cent Of the crop. This in
clineS the experts to the belief that the
average yield per acre will be smaller
than in 1928.
Before making up its first crop esti-
mate, which 1t Will release august l, the
Government will deduct from the total
of 48,457 900 acres an amount equal to
the average 1O-year abandonment,
which is SO per cent of the acreage
under cultivation July 1. The Govern
ment estimate will therefore be based
on 46,712,000 acres which may be
harvested If the yield per acre should
be equal to that Of last year, when 1t
was 1879 pounds of cotton, the indl-
Gated crop would be 14S24,000 bales. II
the yield were to drop to ISL pounds per
acre the crop would amount TO 14.739,-
600, and If the decrease should bring 1t
to $50 pounds per acre, the crop would
be 1854 900 bales.
These are hypothetical figures, OF
course, but the amount which Will
actually be consumed in 1929 Is con-
servatively expected to be over 10000
600 bales. The carry-over will be much
smaller.

SPECULATIVE BOND

Market Slows Down in Tight
Credit Situation-RaiIs

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 16-The pace of
the Semi-speculative bond market
slowed down today, with the tendency
10 take profits in several of the con-
,yertiblc issues that have recently been
most popular. These experienced de-
clines that at one time ranged from
Ia points to 3 points.
Corporation mortgages, United States
Government securities and foreign
loans were all affected by the IL per
cent renewal rate for money and slightly
higher quotations for time money. The
average of the first group Is now at the
lowest of the year, with no sign OF i'm
provement until the strain on the credit
situation is relieved. Government
issues are off IA to ~ from last weeks
somewhat less.
In the early trading there was a
distinct preference for the convertible
bonds of the railroads and for the stock
option issues of investment trusts like
American International SIPS, Allegheny
Corporation SIS and Chesapeake Cor
poration SIS on the board with an
active market again in the stock war

the local fractions showed signs of re-
covery.
The weekly statement Of the Fed

ing member banks, showed a decrease
of ISL ,O00, 900 in loans and investments.
Their investment account has decreased
1912, 000,0 in the past year. It Is es-
timated the total reduction in the in
vestment holdings of all the banks Of
the country, since last July, is close to
81 000,000,000. The continued selling Of
securities by the National and State
banks is an important factor In keeping
bond prices low, especially as there is
no present offset in the way of accu-
mutation by savings banks and insur-
ance companies.

EASILY EXPLAINED.

By Rev Charles A. Miller
 This story about an absent mind ed professor was told by the super intendent of Detroit schools, and he permits himself to be credited on the theory that it will be ready by folks of all ages who have been to school and can appreciate the genu- Inc humor.
 Well, then the absent-minded professors wife was something of a student herself, being tremendously interested in the molecular theory, or something of the sort. She had spent many months of research in preparing an article on the subject for one of the scientific magazines and to fortify herself had sought the aid of professorial friend of her husband and an authority on the subject. This made everything just dandy.
 In due time the article appeared in the scientific magazine under the name of the absent minded profess sor's wife. Almost at the hour of publication the professors wife had presented him with fine, bouncing baby boy. There was plenty of req son for rejoicing in the professors intimate circle and the happiness that exuded therefrom soon spread itself to the campus and to the pro- fessor's classrooms
 The day after the baby arrived the abSent-minded professor walked into his history class holding in his hand the magazine containing the article by his wife. He was beaming. The class rose as one man and ap- plauded the ahsent-minded profess sor wildly, this deference being shown, naturally enough. because of the new baby. Everybody was very happy.
 "Oh, it was nothing" said the absent minded professor, deprecat- ingly. "As a matter of fact, my wife has been collaborating with Profess sor Jones for months''

AIRPLANE DANGERS
 TO CITIES

When two stories on the same day relate how airplanes crashed into buildings in towns it becomes evil dent that the danger to innocent by islanders is Increasing. A week ago, when plane crashed in New York city, authorities announced that a law would be necessary to prevent planes from flying over the city ex- cept at a certain height. The two crashes near Roosevelt Field since then have centered renewed atten- ton to this modern problem.
 The situation near the Roosevelt airport, and probably some other airports where student fliers are numerous, is particularly disconcert-
