Few fishermen agree with his theories,

Gramercy Park, in mid-Manhat-

fishermen of them all. In one Of the
handsome old early Gotham man
sions he ties his own flies and will
not accept the store variety. He in
vents innumerable gadgets for Turing
the unwary trout.
But CLUB" fishing in the New
York belt is not within the means Of
a working gent. Many Of them ask
from $4,000 upward for membership,
and private preserves receive from
$3.50 to $500 for the right to fish in
certain territories.
The town milkman, I once was told,
makes a very neat income from his
water-and no joke intended!

In and about Long Island you'll
find such well-known gents as Irwin
Cobb splashing about in the club

fishes in the CatSkills. Calvin Coo
lidge, as the world knows, has been
loyal to his native Vermont streams
Herbert Hoover has varied his trout
grounds according to the summer
White House" location.
Deep-sea fishermen are even more
prevalent. Hundreds Of little fish
ing beats make their way to the spots
on the Jersey coast where fish gather
around old wrecks. Montauk Point
has become one of the few sword fish
ing rendezvous, although this Is a
particularly expensive sport. Mere

almost any inlet from Jamaica to the

NEW

!!I!!! Gill; swan

New York, Aug. 3l.-Having be-
come suddenly trout-conscious, due
to an impending vacation, learn that
New York and its environs contains
some Of the worlds most avid fishing
fans.
The stream fishermen, Of whom
there are many famous gentlemen of
wealth, maintain exclusive clubs and
scores Of eminent executives are high
In the ranks Of tricky fly casters.
The Beaverkill and Willowemoc, in
the Catskills, are the particularly
popular streams.
In one sports goods store, heard
an interesting tale about a club just
outside Of Roscoe, New York.
There Is a guide who has become
famous for his knowledge of good
pools and rifles, and whose prowess
as a troutsman is widely talked about
among Sportsmen. His name is Rob-
bins, and not so many years ago he
was a wealthy and prominent busi-
ness man who had come to this club
as q guest year upon year. Suddenly
his fortune was wiped out. He turned
about for something to do-and de-
cided to think 1t over while fishing.
He became an expert guide, has a
first-rate income-and is happy.
X X
Roscoe has one very special char
acter, however, about whom fish
stories are spun. He is Frank Girls
void, and he never fishes. But he
likes to believe all the stories he hears
about the "big ones that go away"
A few years ego, he decided to see
that 'big ones" could be found in the
stream. He has his own trout farm
on the side. When the fish reach
the length of 10 inches or better he
puts them in the stream "for the
other boys"
Which reminds me that up in the
Catskill belt there's another trout fan
who has private theories about diet.
For years he's been experimenting
with special menus which he believes
will make the trout larger and fatter.

Lemon Juice Is Especially Rich
In Vitamin G. Content
Raw Fruits and Vegetables Lose Value in Cooking

much Of the substance is necessary
to save its life. Thus the scurvy-
preventing factor can be standardized.
Lemon Juice is known to be one
Of the richest substances In content OF
vitamin g. However, most attempts
to pack lemon Juice for sale have re-
suited in the destruction of the Vita
min quality. Recently British inves-
tigators named J. williams and j. w.
Corran have attempted to preserve
lemon Juice with various added sub
stances. They find that the reaction
Of the bottled lemon juice is of inn
portance in maintaining its content
Of vitamin G.
They found that the addition of
lemon rind oil, of sodium benzoate.
or Of formic acid did not save the
vitamin G. Indeed the latter two
substances exerted q destructive ac-
tion. Oil of cloves had destructive
action and sucrose failed to save the
vitamin. The addition Of very
small amount of hydrochloric acid
in order to overcome the alkalinity of
the lemon juice enabled the saving
Of the anti-scurvy activity for IA
months.
Here then Is the beginning Of evi-
dence which may lead to suitable
methods Of preserving vitamin @ in
canned and packed products of the
citrous fruits. Canned tomatoes,
strawberries and other fresh vege-
tables are rich in vitamin g and are
now used regularly in the feeding Of
infants whose diets are deficient in
this substance. Thus far, 1t has not
been possible to develop a lemon
Juice that contained a vitamin G fac
tor In usable quantities.

Wheat for Coffee

Agreement to trade 25,000000
bushels of wheat for 1O50Oo0 bags of
coffee is announced by the Federal
Farm Board. The transaction is be-
tween the Federal Board and the
government of Brazil. There have
been various offers made for wheat
but with this exception the Farm
Board has rejected them.
The effect of the transaction can
not be determined at this writing.
Members of the Federal Farm Board
are quoted as saying that the barter
will rot depress the coffee trade and
opens a way out for some of the wheat
surplus.
Wheat is to be shipped to Brazil in
monthly installments beginning in
early fall. The coffee traded for the
wheat will be held out of consump-
ton for at least year. When placed
on the market only 62,5o0 bags will
be disposed of monthly.
No such stipulation has been made
concerning the wheat. Brazil can
dispose of it at will. Dumped on the
market by Brazil, the wheat probably
will continue to dcpress the market
Doubtless the only net result of the
barter will be to improve relations be-
tween Brazil and the United States
by taking some of the surplus coffee
eff her hands. Some coffee exchanges
in the United tates think the deal
will disturb their business and that
prices may slump.
Farm cooperatives have not been
heard from as yet on this latest caper
of the Federal Farm Board, but it is
reasonable to believe that If 25,00O,-
600 bushels Of this country's wheat is
absorbed in South America, a like
amount of that country's production
will be released to compete with the
American farmer. It is very hard to
see just where our farmers will get
any more for their wheat by this
transaction.
While the Farm Board holds its
supply OF Bra1rs coffee off the mar
ket, the coffee merchants Of Brazil
continue to unload their coffee in this
market. In such an event, the Farm
Board might find 1t as hard to dispose
of its coffee as its wheat. From this
distance it looks as though South
American farmers have much the best
Of the bargain.
The Bismarck tribune., 1931-08-31

and as for wheat 1t Is the eighth
largest on record. Corn production
also hits new record.
In addition to this situation there
are huge carry lovers from past years
to glut still more the markets Of the
world. Federal crop experts estimate
the present wheat yield at 869 ,000, 900
bushels and there Is a carry-over of
more than 3l9,OOO,O00 bushels.
This situation faces some 10000, 900
people dependent directly for live
lihood on agriculture. Speaking gen.
orally, the situation affects the en-.
tire population in some degree at
least.
Turning to other crops, production
of barley is smaller this year than
last as is also the rye crop. Tobacco
yield is about the same and potatoes
are some 3O,OoO,OoO bushels more than
last year. Oats this year will COM
prise the smallest crop since 1921.
But at present prices the oat crop
will bring less than $240,0O0,0c0 as
against s454,OOo,Ooo in 1890.
A Washington dispatch recently
contrasted the wheat-price situation
in this manner:
"The market price tells the story
of the unhappy wheat grower in :,
1881 as it does of the cotton
grower. If the wheat grower
could sell the entire crop at so
cents a bushel-and he is now re-
ceiving less-the return would
approximate $435 100000. Fifty
years ago the American wheat
harvest was only about 500,000000
bushels but 1t sold for about
$475 100000. In 1916 the yield was
636000,000 bushels and the return
to the farmers more than $l,OO0,-
100000. In 1924 the crop was
864000,000 bushels, just 100000
under the 1881 total, but the
price the staple brought in the
markets of the West and South
west was in excess of $1,l20,000,0 600.
For this crop of 80O,0OO,00O bushels
harvested in 1929 the farmer re-
ceived about so43,000,000.

When our knowledge Of vitamins
first began to develop 1t was taken
for granted that the vitamins found
in the fresh fruits and vegetables
could be had. in equal amounts by
taking canned, picked or preserved
substances.
However, later investigation showed
that Wtamin G, the anti-scurvy vita
min, could be modified considerably OF
perhaps eliminated entirely by SUBJ
mitting 1t to oxidation. Oxidation
occurs when such fruits and vege-
tables are cooked in open kettles on q
stove, and does not occur to nearly
so great an amount when such sub
stances are cooked under high pres
sure in sealed cans, as Is done in the
cooking process.
The only means Of finding out how
much vitamin G, or indeed any other
may be present in food Is
to test 1t on an experimental animal
