Wheat Prices and Mini- mum Price TOP OVERPRODUCTION | Burden of Too Great } Preduction Falls Upon | Farmers | Sprinsfield, ML, Aug. 15.—Cre- ation by the United States of a na-| tioral wheat corporation which | would establish a basic minimum} for all American wheat, and) sy other measures for stabil-| wheat market is advocat- cd by LA. Madden, farm advisor yr Sangamon county, and well! On tie llhoib ds a: barn autOr= i “Allowing the surplus of Amer-j ican wheat to set the price of| American farm crops must stop if} the farmer is to be saved from | ruin,” said Mr. Madden in outlin-| ing price iz he 3p he United States should char- ter a national. wheat corporation and appropriate sufficient funds; for working capital. This corpor- , ation should then establish a basic mimimum wheat price for all American wheat offered at the/| basic minimum price, then the na-! tional ‘when corporation should step’in and buy wheat. “Until conditions are more stable in foreign countries, the wheat ex- ported would have to be sold at less than the basic minimum price. To make up the loss sustained on exported wheat every bushel of; wheat marketed should be assessed | ifferential tax. This tax | uld vary with the surplus pro-| duced. If the basic price was such that there wag an overproduction, then the tax would lower the farm- ers’ price to where over production | would be discouraged, while if} there was a shortage of wheat the tax would be lessened and produc- tion stimulated. “This plan would, not interfere with the present grain trade, with | the development of cooperative | marketing, nor with the chance of a price above the basic minimum } to the ‘mer who chooses to hold his wheat until after the harvest rush, Jt would, without subsidizing agriculture, put the labor and cap- ital of the American farmer on a plane with the capital and labor of other industries. “It would eliminate market gluts due to overproduction placing the burden of overproduction entirely wpon the farmer. The consumer of wheat in the United States would be asked to give the \farmer an equal chance. Only the extremely selfish would deny this. ‘Approximately six hundred mil- ljon bushels are consumed at home and two hundred million bushels are exported. This surplus is a millstone around the neck of agri- cultural prices.” The suggestion that American citizens should be induced to buy wheat was denounced. by Mr. Mad- den, who said this plan would only agerevate the situation because, “it increases the amount of the sur- plus held in America, which soon- er or later will cause prices to fall to lower level PLAYING OF MISS WILLS IS FEATURE) Forest Hills, N. ¥., Aug. 15.—Favor- ities came through without upset yesterday in the quest for national women’s -tennis honors on the turf of the Westside Tennis club but two of the eight seeded stars in the singles—Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mal- lory, the champion, and Mrs. R.

Scharman, of New York, in the second young, and triumphed only after a sparkling duel, 6-3, 6-4. Mrs. Clayton who holds the English covered court championship, won her | first round match easily, but was | forced to top speed to down Mrs. David C. Mills, Orange, N. J., in the | second round, 7-5, 6-3. Britons Little Opposition The brilliant play of Miss Helen Wills, 17 year old Berkeley, Cal., ‘school girl, was another outstanding spot in the second day of champion- ship play. The “wonder girl” tri umphed convincingly over two youth- ful New Jersey stars, Miss Martha Bayard of Short Hills, 6-1, 6-3, and Miss Ceres Baker, of Orange, 6-0, 6-1. Aside from Mrs, Clayton, none of | the British women gave much oppo- | sition but they performed in con- vincing fashion, nevertheless, Miss | Kathleen McKane, ranking star of | the invading quartet, swept aside | Miss Louise Dixon of Philadelphia | 6-1; 6-0, in the first round, afd put! out Mrs. Robert Leroy, of New York, in the second round, 6-1, 6-0, —_—__—— MISTLETOE A DEADLY PARASITE | Washington, Aug. 16.—If the silent signal of the mistletoe hanging from the .chandelier means anything to you next Christmas, remember for an instant that in southwest it is a commercial pest, and-that for 12 years scientists have been studying itp depredations and how best to! le | frame.

KEEP HARDING - EUROPE POLICY This Is Indication ‘Given’ “at the White House: in Re- sponse to Inquiries Be a Washington, “Aug. 15.—Indications were given-at the White House that President |Coolidge would follow the policies enunciated by President Har- ding with respect to collection of the foreign debts. It was said by an administration spokesman that this government had every intention of going ahead with its efforts to fund the present obit- gations and collect them on the basix of such terms as may be agreed upon by the debt funding commis- sion, It was indicated that in the rppecnt crisis the American government can see no way open to offer direct aid and is hesitant about putting for- ward any new suggestion. It was reiterated, however, that the United States would make a bi > rendy response to any appeal for | aid that . from abroad when thethetp e rendered cot be er- given in the interest of the ican people, regarded as the first re- sponsibility of the American gov- ernment. i Ready to Play Part There was. no specific reference to the British proposals for solu- tion of the reparations difficulty, but insofar as the British plan ran along with the suggestions made by Secre- tary Hughes in his New Haven -speech, undoubtedly the Washington | government still stands ready to play-a part in a new determination of the economic’ condition of ‘Ger- many. { Whether that part would be | through official participation by the government or not, it would have governmental sanction should the ald lies ultimately conclude to follow | some such course. i So far as the present tense situa- | on the one hand and France and, Belgium on the other is concerned, H American officials have no comment to make and there is no indication \ that the coming of President Coolidge to his new post will affect the Amer- | ican attitude. !
