EUROPE WHEAT
CROP LOOMING
WORLD FACTOR
Heavy Stocks Are Reduced,
Survey by Bureau
Reveals.

4 fHffS NnfCtGt
NEW YORK, March II. - The
European wheat crop looms as an
important factor in the world wheat
situation this year more than ever,
a survey by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics indicated today.
Burdensome stocks have been
generally reduced, so that any re-
duction in production will make for
definitely larger imports, says the
bureau in its current report on
world wheat prospects.
No forecast of European produce
ton is available, but early reports
indicate a decrease. European WIN
ter wheat acreage is about 4 per cent
less than last year, and the condi-
ton of the crop is the poorest in
years"
Buys Argentine Surplus
The fixing of the high minimum
price of wheat in Argentina has re-
suited, it is stated, in European buy
ers shifting to Canadian and Aus
tralian wheatS, with Australia es-
pecially benefitting from Argentina s
withdrawal.
1t is estimated that one-fourth
the Argentine surplus has already
been bought by Europe. Exports
from Canada have been much below
expectations.
With regard to the situation in
the United States, the bureau says
it now seems likely that wheat
stocks here at the end of the year
will be reduced to about normal pro-
portions; but that if winter killing
is not unusually heavy, and should
growing conditions for both winter
and spring wheat be about average,
there may be an export surplus. This
would cause downward adjustment
of prices to facilitate exnOrtS

ton without benefit of counsel?
AS matter of fact, I can see the
picture now. On one side of the
table sat Mr.. Pecora, periodically
serving the government at the pitt
full salary of 1855 a month. On the
other side was Mr.. Wiggin of the
Chase National Bank, surrounded
by host of the biggest and most
expensive lawyers and an army Of
accountants and clerks.
A T almost every question asked
"A by Mr.. Pecora, Mr.. Wiggin
turned to his lawyers and account
ants and held a little conference
before answering. This scene was
duplicated a dozen times. These
great business men could scarcely
give their middle names or the
names of their partners without
consulting their STATS and law
yers.
And what was the upshot? The
facts about banks in Detroit,
Cleveland, the National City and
Chase National in New York were
brought to light.
The head of the National City
was forced to resign. Mr.. Wiggin
of the Chase, who had retired, was
forced to give up his juicy life
pension of 100000 a year and
now the stockholders of the bank
are suing for large sums. In
Cleveland some Of the bankers
have been convicted. In Detroit
they are yet to be tried.
THAT investigation cost about
i $275,000. 1t brought into the
government, from just two or three
taxpayers, six times that amount
in income taxes and must have
saved countless millions besides, to
say nothing of the great reforms
effected in our financial system
the Securities Exchange Act, the
Securities Act Of 1888, the Glass
Steagall Act of 1888.
What innocent persons were
dragged without counsel before the
Munitions Committee? Those who
think the Morgans were man
handled in Washington ought to
read the record of the investiga-
ton. And can it be that any decent
group is going to try to stop the
lobby investigation, which has al
ready revealed such shocking prac-
tees by lawless utility magnates?
During the Hoover Administra-
ton the Senate passed resolution
limiting salaries in Investigations
to $500 month. This was done to
cripple Investigations. Another
method of Gripping them is to de-
prive them Of the necessary funds.
That's the move which is on now.
The greatest and most useful
fun 1tion of the Senate is investiga-
ton 1t would be public calamity
to cripple this arm of the Senate.

Making Syrup and Sugar Is
Purely an American
Industry.

"Sap's a runnin! !" With that dec
laration in the early spring, sap buck
cts are brought out, and sleds with
tanks mounted on them glide into the
sugar maple forests of northeast
United States and neighboring Ca
madam provinces, says a bulletin
from the National Geographic soci-
ETY.. For it means concentrated ac-
tivity throughout the sugar bush. .
Making maple syrup and maple
sugar is purely an American indus
try" continues the bulletin.
Indians Made Maple Sugar.
"When the colonists pushed back
into New England as spring opened
up old Indian trails, they saw Indians
gashing trees with their tomahaWks
and sap flowing into hollow logs and
bark containers. Soon maple sugar
became the sugar of the early set
tiers even as far south as Virginia
and Kentucky.
cat first the white men followed
the Indians methods Of producing
maple syrup and sugar. But it was
not long before they learned that the
Indians deep cash in the trees often
injured them. Tapping methods were
improved, but the evaporating proc.
ess has changed little except that
more modern equipment is often
used.
Tap With Anger.
"Today the tappers first brush the
bark with a stiff broom to remove
dirt and loose particles, and then tap
the tree in a healthy spot some dis
lance from the scar of a previous

the sap because Of the large bleed
