Grower Looms Extended
On Stored Wheat
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commodity Credit Corp. an
nounced yesterday an extension OF
grower loans on 1899 wheat stored
in commercial elevators and ware
houses, under which the obligations
will not become due until April 30,
1910.
Originally, such loans were to
mature seven months after being
made. The maturity date on some
was as early as February l, 1910.
AS originally stipulated, loans on
wheat stored on farms will mature
April 30, 1910, but the corporation
said it was probable that borrowers
would be given an opportunity to
extend their loans another year in
areas in which farm-stored wheat,
in good condition, might be carried
through summer months without
the risk of loss from insect in
festation.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Most of the seals which are kept
In ZOOS and which perform at the
circus are sea lions. They are
quick Witted animals, and learn
their lessons we'll. Millions of per-
sons have watched them climb lad
ders and perform balancing tricks.
They catch balls on their noses,
and throw them back with a push
of the nose.
Like the fur seal, the sea lion
has outside ears. Other kinds of
seals have no outside ears, but can
bear with ears which are covered.
The flippers of sea lions and
other seals are extremely interest
ing. They are legs of sort, but
are far better fitted for motion in
water than on land.
If we look at the skeleton of
sea lion. we find the bones of short
legs and long feet" At the end
of each flipper are the bones of
five toes"
Some kind of seals have the rear
fiippers close to the tail. At first
glimpse, indeed, we might suppose
such a seal had no hind flippers,
but only a three-part tail!
This is true of the common SEAL
but the hind f1ippers of the sea lion
are very plainly to be seen.
The common seal is only about
5 feet long. 1t is covered with

larger than the common seals,
sometimes reaching a length Of 7
to 9 feet.
Other sea lions are far larger
than those which visit parts OF the
California coast. am thinking of
the huge Steller sea lions Of the
North Pacific. The males Of this
group grow to be from II to IS
feet .long, and weigh from 1000 to
1900 pounds.
Around the southern shores Of
South America, Patagonian sea
lions spend most Of their time.
They are the animals which gave
the name to the sea lion group.
Long hair grows on their necks,
and this hair made people who saw
them IN early days think Of the
names of lions.

The common seal has proved a
rival to the sea lion in power Of
performing tricks. The Lind flip
