DUST CONTROL
RELIEF FUND
CHEERS PEOPLE
Short Crops Reported AS In.
fluencing Rise To Dollar A
BuShel Wheat

Release of Federal relief funds for
dust control work cheered residents of
the mid-west's drought area as short
crop reports influenced wheat in a
rise to the dollar-a-bushel mark at
Chicago and silt clouds whipped up
by the spring winds spread afar.
Payment for tractor fueEat the
rate Of 10 cents an acre-and the use
Of relief workers was authorized by
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins in
the relatively small affected region.
The Federal funds and labor will
be used on projects in Kansas, Texas,
New Mexico, Colorado and Nebraska.
Strip listing already is under way in
Kansas, the project being financed
by a previous $250,O00 allotment.
Seeking to withdraw arid areas
from agricultural production, the De-
partment of Agriculture PROJECTED a
survey of the damage. Plans under
consideration call for withdrawal of
between 100000 and 100000, 900
acres now in production for use for
grazing, forest planting, recreation
and wild life purposes.
Looking toward the health of per-
sons in the affected area, Cary T.
Grayson, chairman of the American
Red Cross, said nursing service would
be furnished communities where ill
ness has resulted from the dust.
Pessimism over the wheat outlook
in the dust area of western Kansas,
eastern Colorado, the Texas and Okla
homa panhandles and eastern New
Mexico combined with Dun and
Bradstreet prophecy of sharp bust
ness advance to force May wheat to
the dollar mark in Chicago for the
first time since January II. San
Francisco marked up $1.02.
A Minnesota agricultural expert
said anonymously: eff the southwest
wheat crop is no better than pros
poets indicate, to is certain to have
a stimulating effect on foods. Wheat
will be higher; consequently bread
prices will be higher. In all prob
ability, meats also will be higher be-
cause of poor grazing conditions.
r. o. Cromwell, Chicago expert
on tour of Kansas, estimated the
States prospective wheat crop at from
100000 to 5000, 900 bushels below the
$4,000, OO0- bushel federal report of
April 1.
While soil disturbances subsidized in
the affected region, dust clouds were
reported in the east, west and south.
The crew of the German steam
ship Vogeson, docking at Beaumont,
Tex, said the yellow veil enveloped
the ship 80 miles at sea.
muddy rain" fell in the Clinch Val
ley area of Virginia. Dust settled
at Augusta, Ga.
Arizona also experienced the murky
haze which lessened visibility and
hampered filters.
The faith Of thousands in a re-
vival of the dust-drought area of the
high plains is reflected in the deter
mination of Ralph Stapleton, 55-year-
old farmer of near Sublette, Kas. He
is going to stick through another crop
season on farm where he now has
to "scrape to find enough feed for
three dozen chickens"

in training. and did not start I'M
Til the Saratoga meeting. He has,
however, performed soundly ever
since. He developed into the crack
of the late fall season in Mary
land.
IF Commonwealth should win
Il the Kentucky Derby, he indeed
will have come from the lowliest
of places to the highest; for either
because of his supposed unsound-
ness, or his Sluggishness in the
sprints, Commonwealth began rae
ing among platers. He did not do
so well in that class, for he was
able to win only two Of five starts.
In his first race he was 18th.
In his next, he gave a grand ex-
hibition, coming from 18th to win.
Taken to Maryland, he won in
the mud and was then second in
a $500 claimer. He followed this
with another second.
But Commonwealth had done
with the platter ranks. He found
spot in a mile and 10 yards
handicap With only SO pounds
up, he beat a formidable band of
older sprinters, including the
crack High Glee, Okapi Chatmoss,
and Dark Winter. AS usual, he was
sluggish at the start and had to
circle the field.
lis next was an allowance race
IL against horses of his own
age. After slow start he stormed
out Of last place. ran his field into
the ground, and won by no less
than 10 lengths.
To prove this no f1uke, he gave
away weight to all except his sta
blemate, Firethorn, came from
seventh place. and won the En-
durance Handicap by six lengths.
None of the II previous winners
of this fall fixture ever turned in
so commanding a performance.
Apparently this horse will like
a distance. Like Chance Sun, he
revels in mud, but has won on a
fast track as well. Weight should
not stop him, though he never has
carried the Derby load of 126
pounds.
