from Canada. Australia. Argentina.
and later on, possibly Russia.
Unless adverse conditions develop
between now and harvest time an
other large crop OF winter wheat will
be produced in 1880, the economists
said. They figured that II yields and
abandonment equaled the average OF
the last 10 years, the acreage seeded
would result in a production OF APP
proximately SIC. 1000, 900 bushels which
would be, only slightly less than the
large production Of $4,000 900 In each
Of the last two years.
Durum wheat prices will probably
continue relatively low for another
season, the report said, unless acreage
in the United States is further cur.
tailed or production In other ON
peting countries Is reduced. Growers
were advised to watch carefully de-
velopments in North Africa ana
Southern Italy during the next few
months in order to Judge how large
an acreage best may be planted In
the United States.
Flax Outlook Good
The report also said higher returns
are expected this year from flax than
from wheat and other small grain
grown in the same area and under
the same conditions.
Further expansion In flax acreage
is therefore warranted" the report
concluded, 'wheHe the land Is free
from weeds or otherwise suitable for
flax OF. on which yields greater than
the average Of the region may Be ex-
|pected." +.
Economists Of the department ana
grain experts attribute the prevailing
high prices for flaxseed IN the United
States to three causes: Decreased
world production, low stock q both
seed ana oil, and d~ifferential advant.
age afforded by the tariff. Last years.
flax crop In the Omitted States was
the smallest since 1o12.

ROCKY GLEN SANATORIUM
is EXPANDING AGAIN

DR.. Louis Mark, medical director
of our beautiful sanatOrium informs
us that due to the enormous de-
mand of additional bed facilities and
urgent necessity of surgery an ex-
pansion program has been definite
Iy arranged which will also provide
the sanatOrium with complete hos
pital unit, which the twin cities have
been in dire need of for many years
and will be opened to the citizens in
connection with operation of the
sanatorium.
The sanatorium was established
in 1911, and was incorporated in
1919. The company has never had
an Improbable year and has paid
preferred stock dividends without
interruption since it's inception and
the 22nd consecutive dividends hav-
ing been paid January Is, 1880.
We are informed by DR.. Mark that
during the past six years earnings
before charge offs have averaged
quirements on the outstanding pre-
ferred stock.
Due to the success of the sana-
torium also the necessity of eXpan-
sion DR.. Mark believes in giving his
old stock holders who have helpeo
opportunity to share in the full
earnings Of the company by allow
ing them to purchase a limited
amount of common stock with the
preferred before the public offering
is made.
Rocky Glen sanatorium is one of
the leading institutions of it's kind
in the state, and it has a splendid
record throughout the country. This
is evident by the fact that al
though the capacity has been re-
peatedly increased, there is at all
times waiting list, and today it
numbers 81. For some time the
Railroad Trainmen Brotherhood has
been sending patients to this insti-
tuition, for treatment, which treat
ment has been so satisfactory that

AS we understand it, another
story is to be added to the admin
istration building, which will be di-
vided into two operating rooms

beds will be added, which will bring
the number of beds up to $50.
We wonder if our people realize
fully, what this splendid institution
means to this community; and with
hospital added. where emergency
operations can be performed, it will
be of still greater benefit and USE

Gas Co. Wants Higher Rate

The McConnelsville-M Malta Gas Co.
has asked the state public utilities
commission for a re-hearing on gas
rates. The price as fixed recently
by the commission of sec (the pres
ent rate), the gas company feels is
too low, and will ask for rate to
be not less than 60c. June 9 is the
date set for the commission for the
hearing. The councils of the two
towns met Tuesday evening in joint
session, and agreed to fight the
proposed increase. The same legal
firm of Columbus which has been
representing the villages in the gas
matter, will be continued.
