Jumps, or mutation, can be brought
about not only by the action of
radium and X-rays upon seeds and
eggs, but also by the prolonged ex-
posture Of seeds to high temperature.
Professor NJ. Navashin. together
with P. Shkvarnikov of the Timi-

odlcal Nature how seeds were in
closed in a closed bottle, kept for
twenty days or more at a tempera-
ture of 131 degrees Fahrenheit and
afterward allowed to terminate.
Most Of the seedlings produced
were abnormal, the development of
both roots and leaves being affect
ed, and many did not survive. A
considerable number of the surviv-
ing young plants displayed various
abnormalitieS of leaf shape. A mic
roScopic examination of the tips
showed that the chromosomes
minute rodlike bodies believed to
be responsible for the inheritance
of characters in both plants and
animals-had been diSarranged
badly from their normal positions.

By Scripps-H Newspaper Alliance
XXTASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Some
w people measure better times
in freight car loadings, in steel Or
ders, in department store sales. in
the complicated indices of bust
ness.
Others take simpler indications.
Candy. for instance.
Sales by manufacturing whole
salers of all types of confectionery
were 10 per cent larger in value in
August, 1893, than sales during
August, 1892" according to figures
made available at the department
of commerce.
This means Sonny spent a
penny for lolly-pop; that sisters
beau brought her a box of candy;
that ma and pa satisfied their
sweet tooth.
Candy is luxury; people
wouldn't be buying more unless
they had more money to spend.

worldwide dealer organization. The
factory is running on a schedule
that will produce approximately
5000 automobiles during October,
it is said, and the whir Of the fac

PRICE BOOSTS
ON GOODS STIR
FARMERS IRE
And There's the Story OIL
All the Shouting
for Initiation.

BIZ Scripps-Hcward NeWspdpor Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Practi-
caliy everything the farmers sell
bring them more money now than a
year ago. But, these prices, gen.
orally, are below what they were
three months ago.
This would not be so significant
if it weren't for the fact that the
prices Of things farmers buy have
increased steadily during those three
months.
This is the reason for the pro-
test from farming sections in the
midwest and the south; that's why
many southern and mid-western
legislators are talking currency in
flation, and that's why the depart
ment of agriculture is so deeply
concerned.
Secretary Henry A. Wallace has
hopes that farm prices will regain,
and pass. their late summer peak.
In this lies the chance for success
Of a major portion Of the Roosevelt
recovery program.
Figures Show Story
The latest figures Of the bureau Of
agricultural economics show, for in
stance, these facts regarding the two
great American crops:
COTTON price on the farm a
year ago was To cents a pound. Last
July, however, it was 1916 cents a
pound. On Sept. IS, it had dropped
to 88 cents.
WHEAT-The price at the farm
on Sept IS was I'll cents bushel.
A year ago, when the Hoover farm
board was breathing its last, the
farm price of wheat was 374 cents a
bushel little more than half the
present price. And yet, here, too,
the present price is below that of
July. In that month wheat sold for
869 cents a buShel.
The bureaus announcement also
makes clear how far farm prices are
from that long-sought parity" level
the prices of 1909 to 1914 over
that period, for instance. cotton
averaged 124 cents a pound; thus
to attain that the present price will
have to be boosted upward 3.6 cents
a pound, or about S19 a bale.
Index Is Out of Line
Wheat's average farm price over
that f1ve-year period was 1874 cents
a bushel, or Ill cents above the
price current Sept. IS.
Expressed in index figures, first
love of economists, who fix 100 as
the price over a certain. representa-
tive period, and then compare pres
ent prices to that inmutable num-
Der, it boilS down to this:
The index of farm prices on Sept.
II was 70. On Aug. Is, it was 70: on
July IS, it was rs, a drop of six
points in three months. But when
the low point was reached last Feb
ruary, the index stood at 40, and on
Sept. Is, a year ago, it was SO.
Now, the index of prices paid by
farmers for the articles they buy
was lie on Sept. IS, compared with
112 on Aug. Is, and lot on July IS.
an increase of nine points in three
months.
