ter wheat production at 7O7 million
bushels, a boost. Of 80 million bushels
The upturn in production reflected
good rains received during April. These
rains have continued since the Govern
ment gathered its information on May l.
Last night, for example. several points in
the Texas Panhandle received substantial
rain and there also were light showers
While traders generally had expected
the Government to raise its estimate,
they apparently had not expected Quite
as large boost as was actually made.
Given normal spring wheat crop the
total wheat outturn this year will take
care of all needs and may even add
further to the huge surplus
OLD crop Soybeans fell on selling by
holders who were disturbed by receipt
of cash soybeans here by barge over the
past few DAYS. Feed grains were upset
by the prospect the Government will
offer its supplies at reduced prices to
foreign countries.
On the latter point one house said
such selling might be resented by the
consuming public and political pressure
might be brought to bear to force SIM
liar reductions in the Governments SELL

SOFT DRINK BOTTLES
REALLY GET AROUND

Misunderstanding of in
terest occurred here few days
ago-when j. A. Brickhouse of
the H. w. McClees Store, was
drinking a Coca-Cola he noted
the bottle looked little unusual
as to the lettering on the side.
Turning it over the word Cuba"
was written or the underside,
and the following appeared just
under the usual trade mark
"Marca Registrade", and under
meath that Cont. Min 6 OF. flued.
Furtherdown on the lower de-
preston of the side of the bottle
was the figues 9 and 48 thanking
an insignia which looked like
diamond shaped figure with
large o through the center.
Later on, during the day an
other employee, Sterling Hamil-
ton, having seen the former bot
tie, noticed one which he was
about to imbibe-This bottle was
clear color, and underneath the
usual trade mark appeared these
words: SCHUTZMARKE, and
underneath appeared KOFFEIN-
NALTIG, on the one side, on the
other underneath the word
Schutzmarke appeared the word
LIMONADE. The bottom of the
bottle only revealed the follow
ing numbers OIL. Through the
Library of Congress, Borden Nc
Clees found that the words were
German, with the first word
meaning Trademark, and the
word Koffeinnaltig, meaning
Caffein Content. Almost quoting
the North and South Carolina
Governors ''It's a long ways be-
tween drinks.
