COLLEGE PARK. Md. July 18.-Ap-
proximately so per cent of the 100000
bushel Maryland wheat crop is likely
to be fed by the Maryland farmer to
his stock, in the opinion Of DR.. Thomas
B. Symons, director of the extension
service of the University of Maryland.
The present condition is one of the
most trying on farmers, DR.. Symons
said. since wheat is one of the princi-
pal cash crops of the Maryland agri-
culturist. But with surplus over
hanging the market. including the
stocks held by the Farm Board, and
with the current price about 40 cents
bushel, the farmer can't get much out
of his crop.
The wheat crop this year is also very
good, the Spring and Summer having
been favorable, the extension chief de-
clared. One of the most fortunate cir
cumstances, he said, was the reduction
in acreage from $780, 900 to 400 900, and

PETROLLE STOPS VANCOUVER RIVAL
 IN 7TH ROUND
By DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent )

New York, Dec 31-(Ur)-Long years in the ring apparently have had a mellowing effect on Billy Petrolle, for compared with the Billy Petrolle of old, the fighter who scored a seven round knock out victory over Billy Townsend of Vancouver, B. C., at Madison Square Garden last night, was a soft-hearted, fatherly sort of ath- 1ete.
 Not that the new Petrolle isn't a highly capable fighter and crowd pleaser. With his ring brains, skill and heavy punch there Is q possibility that his present style may even prove more success full than the old.
 Still SkilIfuL
 In defeating Townsend, tabled as the finest young welterweight a master boxer. He lodged under his opponents every blow and sell dom wasted a punch.
 After knocking Townsend down for nine count before the open- ing round was minute old, Petrol- le obviously 'carried" his rival, either to "give the fans run for their money" or because he had no desire to hand out unnecessary punishment.
 Petrolle felnted Townsend into numerous openings and never once let fly with q stiff punch until he was certain 1t would land. He scored four knockouts before Referee Willie Lewis halted the bout after 1:6S of the seventh round. Each resulted from short left hook square to the point of the jaw. It appeared that Petrolle was making sincere effort to avoid cutting up his opponent.
 Townsend was down for nine in the first round and nine more In the fifth. with Petrolle making no attempt to follow up his advant- age. Just before the end of the sixth round Petrolle scored legi- timate knockout but the bell rang at the count of seven and saved Townsend.
 Ref Stopped ,It.
 His seconds sent him out for the seventh, still wobbly, but petrolle took things easy until the Van couver boy recovered his faculties. Then he opened new attack and after staggering Townsend with hard rights and lefts to the chin. sent him crashing to the floor. Referee Lewis then halted the un. even contest without the formality of q count.
 Welterwelght Champion Lou Brouillard, a rushing, tearing youngster of the Townsend type, was ringside observer and had the opportunity to study the most dangerous rival for his title.
