Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
+ CHICAGO. Aug. s.-Wheat prices
gave up more than a cent of the
weeks to more than 8 cents rise
today, but after profit taking and
account adjustment selling had
been absorbed, the market rallied
with support from mills and pro-
fessionals. Most of the loss was
recovered. Rye and soybeans also
were off cent or more.
Substantial price gains in all
trading pits this week, ranging
from cents for corn and cents
for oats to almost a dime for soy
beans were attributed by grain in
terests chiefly to Washington de-
velopments. Strengthened basically
by the Government loan program,
wheat, they said, also derived new
rising power from testimony in
Congress about imitation, high lin
Its on ceiling prices and efforts to
freeze" Government stocks.

Stocks StaIemated
For 11th Session.;
Some Lose 7 Points
Market Opens Down and
Few Issues Are Able

BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. Stakes and
war doubts persisted as anti-bullish
arguments in today's stock market
and leading industrials added frac-
tions to 2 points to recent losses.
Negative comfort was derived from
the fact selling never seemed really
urgent. Transfers for the two hours
were around $50 900 shares.
The direction was downward from
the start and few recoveries were in
sight at the close. 1t was the 11th
straight session in which the list. on
average, had made no progress. This
was one of the longest stalemates
in q decade.
Imitation Tn .me Dims.

preciably as market factor. brokers

Steel Decline Forecast.
Steels had to contend with pre-

HORMONE SPRAY STOPS
APPLE DROP, SAVES
FRUIT FROM GULL CLASS

Fruit growers have long recog-
nized the truth that an apple on
the tree is worth a bushel ON the
ground. For dropped apples, un-
less salvaged as soon as they fall,
almost always become culls. And
Gull fruit has little or no market
value.
To prevent this annual orchard
loss, scientists a few years ago
worked out a chemical that would
prevent dropping when sprayed on
the fruit. Called naphthalen5cetic
acid, the spray mixture that the
chemical makes is popularity known
as a hormone spray since the ac-
tion of the chemical resembles
that of the natural apple plant hor-
none that prevents apple falling.
Last year the University of Del
aware Agricultural Experiment
Station tried out the hormone
spray on several different apple va
rieties. DIR. E. w. Greve, the sta
tion's research horticulturist, re-
ports that the sprays were partic-
ularly good for holding fruit on the
Williams variety which is ripening
in Delaware orchards now.
Sprays made up with the chemi-
cal should be mixed according to
the directions of the manufacturer,
When putting the chemical on the
trees, at about the time the apples
would naturally start to drop, it's
important to see that the spray COW
ers the apples, especially the stem
ends.
DR.. Greve says that only one
spray of the drop-preventing chem
ical is required for all Delaware
apple varieties except Mcintosh. A
second application is put on McIn-
tosh trees about eight days after
the first spraying.
The Delaware station horticul-
turists discovered that it cost
about two cents for each gallon of
the material applied in last years
tests. And 1t takes from 10 to 30
gallons per tree, depending on the
trees size. DR.. Greve emphasizes
that fruit must be watched care
fully after the hormone spray is
applied to prevent apples from be-
coming overripe, especially in
warm weather.
