Barley Market
Irregular

Domestic barley markets were
somewhat irregular during the week
ending May 4th with advances in
other grains providing a strength
ening influence in middleWestern
trading while somewhat improved
crop prospects made for an easier
tone in California according to the
weekly barley and feed grain mar
ket review OF the bureau of agricul-
tural economics. Foreign barley
markets continued quiet with the
English mailing barley season prac-
tically finished.
Domestic corn markets tended
upward with increased marketings
by growers meeting good demand.
UnfaVorable new crop prospects in
parts of Texas and light offerings
of old crop oats were strengthening
factors in the oats situation and
prices mostly advanced to new high
points for the current crop year.
Grain sorghums also strengthened
influenced by small market sup
plies and unfavorable feed grain
crop prospects in Texas.
Flax markets were independently
weak with price declines of to 7c
per bushel largely reflecting in
creased domestic supplies in pros
pect for the coming season.

Police Seek Ghost
Who Startled Town
With Acrobafics

OAKLAND, May l3 CUP)-Po-
lice still were unconVinced today
that it wasn't a phantom which
led them to the roof of the Is
story financial center yesterday in
an effort TO prevent what looked
like a suicide
Eight patrol cars rushed TO the
Financial Center when passersby
reported seeing a human figure
hanging head-doWn from the cor
nice OF the roof.
As some of the plicemen blocked
off traffic, others dashed TO the
roof by elevator.
When they reached the top, there
was nobody in sight except the
officers themselves.
A thorough search of the roof
showed no trace of the acrobat, who,
those below reported, had pulled
himself up and back over the cor
nice and then out of sight.
The only possible clue was the
presence of a second elevator shaft
He might have used that to descend
while the police were coming up.

A new and more efficient lax
combine harvester. designed to cut
down grain loss in harvesting was
demonstrated this week by Charles
Blalack, e. Centro farm implement
dealer.
The new harvester, manufactur-
ed by Case Co, survived many
rigid tests in the county in trials
on windrowed and standing flax
in valley fields.
Growers who witnessed the DEM
onstrations reported the new mach
inc as the most efficient develop
ed. Blalack said
In demonstrations the machine
harvested an average of two acres
of grain pei hour on T1ax yielding
as high as 25 bushels per acre.
New features have proven their
value. one Of those that have been
of greatest interest, IS the new

star beater and retarder placed
directly in front of the rub-bar cyl
inder: this arrangement prevents
slugging the machine. Slugging has
been one of the most severe prob
lens in the harvest of flax.
When a cylinder is overloaded by
slug it is very often necessary to
stop the machine and remove the
charge by hand. if the slug is not
too large tc stop or seriously SLOW
down the machine and passes on
through, flax can not be extracted
from it, with resultant loss.
The new design of the Case COM
bine eliminates this serious prob
lem
Another very important feature
of the machine is noted in the in
slant adjustment of the spacing
between the rub bars and the con-
cave CRATE.
Varying the spacing between
these elements enables the operat-
or TO maintain at all times the
spacing necessary to properly thresh
the material being taken into the
feeder house. When heavy weeds
and light patches of flax are en-
countered a different adjustment
is needed to properly extract it.
All machines on the market have
an arrangement whereby an adjust
ment can be made but it requires
the stopping of the machine and
from Is to rs minutes to make the
adjustment.
Much greater separating capa-
city is found in the Case than in
other flax machines with the re-
suit that a great amount of straw
can be handled and better separa-
ton accomplished.
A recent run on an eight acre
plot, which was extremely weedy,
where 121 bags of flax were har-
vested in slightly less than 5 hours.
bears out the contention of the
manufacturer that the machine has
larger capacity.

SAYS RACE PREJUDICE HARMS
BOTH WAYS
To the Editor of The Guardian:

To the Editor of The Guardian:
In your June II issue, | was sur
prised to learn of the trouble our Red
Caps are having in the matter of tips.
/ didn't see that in other papers. When
we, "The Public" give Red Cap or
any other employee of any company a
tip. we do so with the idea of pleasing
the one whose courteous service we
have enjoyed. We do not give tips as
salary. I am sure that when the public
learn, if they should learn, that the
companies are taking advantage of
their employees and of them, they are
not going to be in the mood of tipping.
Frank r. Crosswaith's column is en-
tightening again this week in the matter
of public service rendered by private
companies. [ agree that sooner or later
which means that the question now
faces us squarely-we must decide
between the system Of profit and the
system Of service.
In the matter Of race prejudices,
which your paper so aptly keeps before
its readers eyes, you are usually right
in your claims and in your demands.
Sometimes, however, I am inclined to
suggest to you that there is way Of
presenting the matter which would tell
the facts and at the same time run less
danger Of fementing in the mind of
colored people the same kind of race
prejudice which you are attempting to
combat in the white mans mind, You
have many, many friends among white
people who are willing and who do
fight for the same cause. It's as much
our cause as it is yours. Race discrimi-
nation does quite as much harm to the
person who holds it as it does to the
person against whom it is held. We
begin to realize today more than ever
that the soul, the spirit, the mind Of
man is much more 'Reap than material
things which we usually term Reality"
We must face this life with Reality"
The spirit of the matter is the crux
of the matter in this race prejudice
question as well as in all other phases
of our life.
