ago, percentages were &c. SO, and SO,
respectively.
Reports to the Bureau of Entomo-
logy and Plant Quarantine show no
stem rust infestation on wheat at the
close of May in northern Oklahoma,
in Kansas or in Missouri. A small
amount of stem rust was found on
durum and common wheats in an area
between Temple and Dallas, Texas,
and also in a section between Wichita
Falls and Frederick, Oklahoma. The
wheat in Texas and some distance in
Oklahoma was mostly in the dough
stage on May % and it appeared I'M
likely that any large quantity of inoc-
ulum will develop despite the extra
ordinarily wet conditions.
In Europe wheat prospects continue
more promising than a year ago In
western portions of the continent with
prospects satisfactory in central
areas. Substantial increase in acre
age is reported for the United King
dom where growing conditions were
excellent The new crop is making
good progress in Turkey and with
prospects excellent prices have de-
clined sharply from recent record lev
els. Beneficial rains were received
in Rumania but it is still too early
to determine their effect on drouth
stricken areas.
In the Southern Hemisphere May
weather was favorable for blowing
and seeding in Argentina and early
seeded wheat made good growth.
Wide areas however are again need
ing moisture and field work is likely
to be interrupted in southern areas
if relief is not received soon. Wheat
seeding is well advanced in Australia
with a reduction of 1917 to 20%o in
acreage indicated by trade reports
CASH WHEAT: Tone of the cash
wheat market at Minneapolis was
eased on Tuesday when over 1000
cars of cash wheat were received over
the Memorial day holiday Although
the trading basis steadied somewhat
as the week closed, demand at no
time proved broad enough to fully re-
cover all of the weakness which was
impaired early in the week. Total |
arrivals for the week of all classes of |
wheat amounted to 2,124 cars while |
Duluth unloaded sos Premiums |
based on protein remained about net |
unchanged for the period but ranges |
on the ordinary protein wheat were
lowered about nc, based on test
weight. Ordinary No. / dark north
ern wheat was quotable within a
range of &c to 212c over the Mime
apolis July price, which advanced &c
for the week, closing Friday, June 4,
at $1.39. This took in test weights
from So to so pounds per bushel.
Fourteen per cent wheat brought u C
over the ordinary; 1870 protein, 4hc
over; and 1870 protein, &c over. Di-
version point bids ran about lie higher
for 14% and 15% protein lots and &c
higher for wheat in the 1879 protein
bracket. Inspections indicated 80
cars of winter wheat and 157 cars of
durum in the weeks receipts. The
average protein content of the hard
red spring wheat tested during the
week was 1850 and the durum
l226%. J.

APPROACHING SHOWDOWN

In the great American game OF
draw poker" there inevitably comes
a time when the player who repeated
ly bluffs" will have his bluff called
by another player who holds, or be.
lieves he holds better hand. In this
respect poker and politics have con-
siderable similarity although the po-
litical buffer" is not quite so often
called"
In our following out the evolution
airy processes we are now in the eve
of witnessing the calling of one of
those colossal political bluffs" which
has kept players and observers guess
ing for about 10 years.
Readers of this somewhat disjointed
series will recall that in some of the
earlier chapters I expressed the con
viction that all steps taken by Nude
Eel capitalist leadership toward the
| improvement of the condition of labor
and the "underprivileged" were taken
reluctantly Taken not so much from
sincere desire to assist the under
privileged as from the desire to pre-
serve that capitalism, which the Pres
ident termed eternal" from the rev.
olution which as early as 1888 was
threatening it with destruction.
In another chapter l pointed out
that the American labor movement
had become a sufficiently powerful
political factor to cause Nude Eelers
much worriment and therefore an at
tempt had to be made to divide Labor
forces and by the divide and con-
quer" method permit capitalism to re-
gain its grasp upon the reins of gov
eminent.
Just what representations or prom
ises were made to John l.. Lewis by
Nude Eel leadership, not being ION
the inside" deponent saith not" but
the attempt was at least partially sue
cessful and the CLIO was born, labor
was split into two factions and Nude
Eel capitalists heaved a sigh of heart
felt relief and sat back to consolidate
their strength for the battle which
they felt was Gin the offing."
1t is a tribute to the good sense of
American labor forces that while |
there was sharp division over the pol
icies of the two labor factions and |
over the merits of the industrial or
craft forms of labor organizations, |
there was little disagreement regard
ing the ENDS to be striven for and
Nude Eel capitalists were doomed to
disappointment in the failure of their
effort to incite the internecine labor
war which they had anticipated.

Bro. Moderator, brethren and

soeiation Of the General Mission
airy Baptists of Arkansas;
Il am reporting for our Modera
tor, Rev, j. c. Boyd. Ten years

tories.
We have been steadily marching
these ten yearI advancing each
year as we march.
