CLOCK PLANTS RUNNING
ON FULL SCHEDULE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, January THE plants
of the New Haven Clock Co. operated
at capacity during November and De-
cember and the high rate of production
is now being continued, according to
officers of the company. 1t is further
stated that sales of the electric clocks
produced by the company broke all rec
ords during the recent holiday season.
The prediction is made that eventually
electric clocks may replace all spring
clocks where electric current is avail
able, due to the low price range of the
new clocks.

here is much more delightful than
In the Pacific Coast state. he said.
Tourists complain Of the biting cold
nights which follow balmy days in
California but the Valley has q
mildcr night atmosphere.
II the Valley would attract the
well-to-do tourist It should provide
apartments and hotel accommoda-
tons Rt locations removed from the
noise and hustle Of the city. he
advised. Most well-to-do people
live in quiet suburban places in
their native states and when they
wish TO spend the winter anywhere
they want quiet. he said. Apart
ment hotels and other acc0mmo-
dations should be provided away
from the main thoroughfares and
away from the business districts.
Present low prices Of produce are
due to several reasons, one Of
which Is 0verpr0ductiOn, said Mr..
Griffin. This Is not . local con-
dition and cannot be helped, he
declared. The country has had q
mild winter and / have never seen
SO much local produce available.

Another thing which had an ef-

Production to Needs Of u. S.
Held Only Remedy for
Price Slump.
BY the Associated Press.

URBANA, H., January l6.-Alexan-
der Legge. chairman Of the Federal
Farm Board. in an address prepared for
delivery on the annual farm-and-home
week program of the University Of Il
linois, today said that United States
wheat growers have nc alternative but
to produce no more than can be con-
sumed at home II they want better
price"
THE world wheat market Is decidedly
gloomy for the American grower" Mr..
Legge said. There already Is too much
wheat, with production increasing In
some of the exporting countries and
Russia coming back into the market
faster than any Of us thought possible.
There is no way to get rid of surplus
American wheat at price below the
present domestic level"
Legge said IL was too early TO say
whether the oenefits Of the Grain
Sterilization Corporations efforts to
farmer from 20 to IS cents higher than
the world market price viii be per
manent."
Such sterilization operations cannot
cope with continuous SURPRISES" he said.
THE only solution is to adjust produc-
| ton downward TO domestic consump-
| ton"
Legge said he had information Of a
widespread drive" by grain brokers
using financial pressure in an attempt
| to break down the StabiliZing operations
| by calling for doubled margin on May
wheat, but offering to carry growers at
the old figure II contracts were trans
| ferred to the new crop of July wheat,
unsupported by the board.
