APPLES TO THE FORE

An apple a day may not always
keep the doctor away-but it Is a
certainty, that apples are among
the most delectable and healthful OF
fruits. And this year, due to the
organized efforts Of growers and
mess distributors, the consumer
is going to be treated to high quail
ity apples at very reasonable prices.
The National Apple Institute,
meeting last August, approved
plan whereby low-grade fruit will
be held of the market SO far AZ pos
sible; the choicest fruit will be
moved into consumption at the
beginning OF the season; plenty Of
first-class fruit will be always avail
able, and valuable information con-
corning the various varieties OF
apples and their best uses will be
widely disseminated.
However, as any producer knows,
Just putting good product on the
market in the normal way Of bust
ness doesn't necessarily assure
satisfactory sales. And apple pro-
ducers today face a very serious
marketing problem.
Upshot Is a nationwide apple sale,
to take place during three periods
October rs to November 4. De-
cember z to 16 and February / to
10. During those periods the thous-
ands of cooperating stores will fea~
ture apples. advertise apples, talk
apples-and. going by past proceed
emit. sell apples on tremendous
scale.

Voluntary, wholehearted support
by producers has been responsible
for the steady expansion of the
marketing cooperative"
According to Henry A. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, the prob
lem now faced by the marketing
coops is rise in psuedo company
cooperatives," formed arbitrarily by
private distributors purely as a
front" Producers have no voice in
management or organization of this
type of marketing cooperative which
may or may not operate in the best
interest of the so-called members. :"

Woodrow Wilson's Papers
The Library Of Congress in Wash
ington has been given the papers of
the late President Woodrow Wilson
There is an enormous amount of
documents and letters and other
papers that cover every phase of
Mr.. Wilson's life.
The gift, which is made by Mrs.
Wilson, is particularly important
because it contains the official and
confidential files of years Of the
Wilson Administration, and in par
ticular those documents relating to
events preceding and during the
World War. The records of the fam
Gus Versailles Peace Conference,
discussed throughout the World at
this time, are included.
The Wilson manuscript collection
is a part Of American history and
1t will supplement the papers of
nearly all Presidents of our country,
including Washington, Lincoln. and
Mckinley who were war Presidents.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Deriving new
strength from the aggravated
drought situation in the hard winter
wheat belt, prices of the bread
cereal started upward again TODAY
only to falter when advances reached
about p cent.
Subsequent reactions carried wheat
back to around previous closing
levels and the market fluctuated
rather nervously around this point.
Brokers said the pit lacked evi-
dence OF sufficient outside specula-
tive support which they said was
necessary if sustained rise is to
be generated by unfavorable crop
news from the Southwest. Public
participation is on a small scale
at present, which makes the market
easily influenced and thus uninvit-
ing to many dealers.
Aside from the fact that few
traders seem willing to act on poor
crop prospects so far in advance of
harvest. the market is overshadowed
by the large Canadian surplus which
is priced considerably below domestic
values and therefore must be re-
duced before there can be any great
foreign demand for United States
wheat. Prospective domestic carry
over next July l is equal to about
half the winter wheat crop of the
past season.
Although prices are above loan
levels at most markets, wheat is
believed to be piling up in storage
as the result of Government loans
on crop insurance program with
more than l5000O,O0O bushels es-
timated tied up to date.
Corn prices showed very little
change, but were steadier by de-
clining receipts and indications that
the heavy marketward movement
may have been passed inasmuch as
a large portion of the crop is being
held on farms. The new Govern
ment loan rate is expected to be
announced soon.
Oats were about steady while rye
declined fractionally, weakening
when wheat eased below previous
closing levels.
Lard also tended lower.
At II am. wheat was unchanged
to % lower compared with yester-
days finish. December, 85s4; May,
