Wheat Drought Damage Is

CHICAGO, May 30.-Heat-sea
fields over 100000 square miles of
the northwest broiled again today
under a sun which burned around
100000 from the soil in every hour
it shone.
Farmers prayed in dusty little
churches amid barren fields, far
away government officials studied
dismaying statistics and reframed
relief policies-and still the sun
shone and record temperatures
mounted.
Crop experts estimated that the
heat, climaXing months of drought,
dust storms and insect plaques, was
cutting potential wheat production
100000 bushels every day, besides
doing inestimable damage to a score
of other major and minor crops.
Wheat Reaches Dollar
The result was registered dra-
matically yesterday in the Minnie
apolis and Chicago grain markets.
Dollar wheat-goal of producers for
months-became a reality in Min
neapolis. The grain lowered just be-
low the mark in Chicago.
The rise in two days was 7 cents
Terrific heat over a dozen of the
grain states reached unprecedented
levels.

over which employe and employer
have quarreled ever since the code
was approved August 26.
The manufacturers insist the
"merit clause" must remain, while
the Labor Advisory Board has
recommended its deletion. The
clause reads:

The automobile industry is not
alone in it's opposition to the Sec

workers. The guarantee has been
little more than verbiage in the
steel, and textile industries, and
its provisions have been deter
rants in the formation of codes

strong finish.
Wheat was to Is cents lower.
corn was unchanged to = cent
higher. and oats were unchanged to
= cent higher.
Higher stocks and strength in
Liverpool failed TO affect wheat
prices. These bullish influences were
tempered by sharp drop in cot
ton and a firmer American dollar.
The trade believed the advance in
wheat was Of character to attract
interest and that there would be in
clination to invest capital in COM
moditieS because of the latter's
price enhancement. Fixing of the
gold value OF the dollar within mar
row limits, and the indicated ex-
pansion in currency led to belief
that real revaluation was at hand
Backing up the monetary news,
the trade has an unfavorable crop
situation and a cash wheat situation
rapidly increasing in strength.
