Retail Volumes Up Twenty
Per Cent During July.
East Coast Leads. (
BY F. A. RESCH,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

CHICAGO, August 12.-1ts greatest
increase In sales for more than three
years has been experienced by the
mems retail clothing industry this
Summer.
During July sales in mems apparel
stores jumped approximately 20 per
cent. on the average, over the volume
for the same month of 1882. with re-
tailers along the Atlantic and Pacific
Coasts making the strongest showing.
These figures, made public today by
the Business Committee of the Ma
tional Association of Retail Clothiers
and Furnishers, after a Nationwide
survey. represent the first time since
reported trade improved over the cor
responding month Of the previous year.
Code Study Planned.
July increases as reported by indi-
vidual stores ranged from to so per
cent. In June. by comparison, In
creases varying from to 81 per cent
were listed
So far this year. the association es-
Inmates, retail clothing sales still are
IS or 20 per cent below the same
months of 1882.
Next week 1000 mems apparel mer-
chants are expected in Chicago for the
National Associations convention, when
the industry's proposed recovery code
will be analyzed.
Virtually all its members. the asso-
citation reports, have accepted the spe-
cial retailers code tentatively author
lied by the Recovery Administration.
To date the code has brought some
rise In employment. association cfncials
say, especially in establishments where
employees have gone on a 40-hour week
although their stores continue open So
hours q week.
Prices Rise Steadily.
Not until September or October,
however, are the full results Of the
industry's increased employment under
the recovery act expected to become ap-
parent.
Prices on mems clothing, the asso-
citation finds, have risen steadily dur
ing the last 60 days, with a "substan-
tial increase" anticipated on new Fall
merchandise. Until manufacturers Ia
Dor costs under their code are def
nitely determined, however, the exact
extent of price changes will not be
known.

DEPOSITS DECREASED
BY BAN ON INTEREST
of $7s2,ooo,e00 Has
Taken Place in Demands Accounts
Since Restriction Started.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The prohibition against payment Of
interest BY Federal Reserve member
banks on demand deposits has caused
a shrinkage of $732, ,0o0, 900 since the
restriction went into effect on June 16.
Weekly reporting member banks had
net demand deposits Of $11 ,207, ,000, 900
on June IA and $10,475. 600, 900 as Of
the close Of business on August 2.
The weekly statements of the Federal
Reserve Board reveal that part Of this
loss was transferred to the time de-
posits account Of member banks, which
rose in the interim by $197, ,000, 900.
Sponsors Of the prohibition said It
was placed In the new Glass -Steagall
banking act to prevent abuse Of prac-
tice rather than to correct an unsound-
ness in the Nations banking legislation.
The abuse, they held. arose from the
practice Of some commercial banks,
especially during prosperous eras, Of
hiking their interest payments on net
demand deposits to secure particularly
attractive accounts. As these premiums
were high, the banks themselves, It was
contended, were forced to take undue
chances on investments In order that
their interest charges might be met.
This meant, It was claimed, the sacri-
fice of safety for higher yields.

Clean the Seed Wheat

The treatment of seed wheat
with copper carbonate or with for
maldehyde is a common practice in
all grain districts. Frequently, how
ever, seed treatment is reported to
be ineffective in the control of
smut. Experiments which have been
conducted by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture indicate
that the removal of smut balls in
the seed wheat is absolutely essen
ton to satisfactory results. The
smut balls are composed Of mil
lions of spores which are not en-
tirely destroyed by the common
method of seed treatment. These
smut balls should. therefore, be re-
moved either by tanning or other
cleaning machines. If the formal
dehyde dip method is used. the
smut halls may be skinned off
when the seed is soaked in the So

Some farmers are using overshot

Before going to the. expense OF
establishing a plant OF this kind,
Mr.. Weaver suggests that the site
be studied in careful detail and the

estimated. For large installations,

for smaller streams, the preliminary
estimates may be made by the land
