Melgaard, 12th Naval District, has been ordered to additional duty as instructor of the Volunteer Communications Reserve ot that district. | The District .of . Columbia Naval | Communications Division stood third in the list of units for the competition year 1934-35, according to figures made public by the Navy Depart- | ment. Its score was 76.30 out of a | possible 100. | " The other units, in their respective order, follow, with scores: Twelfth Naval District, 80.80: 4th District, 78.85; 3d*District, 76.10; 9th District, 73.93: Tth District, 73.85; 1st District, 71 8th District, 66.05: 6th District, 65.70; 13th District. 65.00; 11th District, 64.40; 15th Dis- trict, 60.85: 14th District, 60.10; 5th District, 60.05. The department cxpl"ns that al- though the above scorés are some- what lower than the scores assigned for the previous competition year, they actually represent a higher state of efficiency than for that year, this being due to more rigid marking and to a change in the competition rules. The 12th District was awarded the trophy. consisting of a silver loving | cup. This trophy was awarded for the first time and in order for any district to retain it for a longer period than one year it must be won for three consecutive years by the same district. It then becomes the perma- nent property of that district. | —_— | New Morning Program. | YWOL has introduced a new musical | series called “Morning Musical,” | featuring Roy Comfort’s Trio.

'RANCE, seeking to become self- sufficient in so far as wheat is concerned, over-stepped the mark a little last year, with the result that there was a carry-over of half a mil- lion bushels. In order to use up this stock spd at the same time prevent the farmer from Josing, the government has pegged the price at the equivalent of about $1.42 a bushel. The government, in effect, takes over this stock, although actual de- livery is not contemplated. Instead millers are required by gov- ernmental regulation to purchase this | surplus wheat at $1.59 a bushel up to 50 per cent of their milling require- | ments. By this method it is expected | that all the carry-over crop will be | eliminated. The farmers are permitted | to sell directly to the millers if they | desire. [ | Despite increased acreage this year | the crop is not expected to be so great as during the last three bumper years. The profit which the governmen: | makes out of the pegged wheat is ic | be used iny the payment of export | bounties, in, rendering wheat unfit for human use while still suitable for stock feed and such methods, to take up the exishing surplus. )
