CORN SHORTAGE MAY OFFSET WHEAT CAIN

Despite Record Crop of Latter Grain, Agriculture department Says Lower Prices Are Not Probable.

WASHINGTON, July 9.—Despite a wheat crop estimated this year of 930,000,000 bushels, the largest on record, no hope is held out by the department of agriculture for greatly reduced pjices. Such a large crop would augur very iow prices, according to a statement, wert it not that the world crops of wheat and competing grains do not promise more than the average of iccent years. Besides, more than the usual diversion of wheat from its use as food tor livestock may be expected, because of the relatively short supply of corn in sections where there is a promise of abundant wheat.

With corn selling in Kansas for about seven centa more per bushel than wheat it is not surprising, officials say, that rauch wheat should be consumed as feed by animals. Kansas corn crop last year was only 25,000,000 bushels,

compared with the usual production of 1150,000,OGO bushels. This year's es|tiroates are for a crop of 150,000,000 bushels of wheat.

It is estimated that about 45,0 [0,000 ^bushels of wheat of last year't crop fwas consumed as animal feed. Of the average annual production of 686,000,000 bushels of wheat during the past five years, about 581,000,000 were retained in this country and 105,090,000 bushels exported. If the domestic wheat requirements were reckoned at about 5.3 bushels per capita, exclusive of seed, ajid 75 to 80 million bushels for seed, and was applied to a population of 98,636,000, officials say it would ^indicate a normal requirement of 522,j770,000 bushels, plus seed requirement of 77,000,000 bushels, or a total of about 600,000,000. The statement adds •this would indicate the available export supply from the crop of nearly 380,000,000 bushels, but there must be deductel from this amount the quantity used for livestock feeding, estimated at approximately 75,000,000 and possibly more. Even this would leave about 268,000,000 for export.

CORN PRICES HIGH.

Average Well Up With Wheat on A General Average. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Wheat Kold at only 1.4 cents a bushel more than corn on July 1, acording to an average of prices for all the states Just announced by the department of agriculture. In Kansas corn was selling .for seven cents more a bushel than wheat. This was due to the failure of the Kansas corn crop last year and the extraordinary fine prospect of the wheat crcp there this year.

The average price of wheat for the country on July 1 was 76.9 cents a bushel. This is 19.3 cents less than the July average for the past five years, lln North Carolina the price was $1.05, while in Oklahoma is was 64 cents a )tushel.

The average price of corn was 75.5 cents a bushel, or six cents a bushel

jinore than the average July prices for the past five years. In Iowa corn sold at 63 cents, in North Carolina at 98

cents.

I ." POLAR TOTTR IN THE ALPS.

Jungfrau Railway Company Resumes Sleigh Rides Over Glazier. GENEVA, July 9.—The Jungfrau .railway company has resumed its '"polar service of sleigh rides" for visitors to the great Aletsch glacier, in the heart of the great Swiss Alps, which wan inaugurated last summer and then pToved a great success.

The sledges are drawn by Eskimo dogs Imported from the polar regions. These now have spent the last two ?years amid the ice and snow of the

Jungfrau and have been trained by a ^Laplander, Swiss guides, however, take charge of the excursion parties over «jthe great Aletsch glacier, the largest

Switzerland, across the "ice road" jt ,,sto the "bottom" of the Marjelen lake, K^which is situated at the height of near«ly eight thousand feet above the sea.

The Ave or six hours' of travel is exEf'lactly like a trip in the polar regions, KJwichout the danger, and at its end a :railway Ik found waiting to bring the

II voyagers back to the valley. The ^'Visitor in his comfortable sleigh is en'tirely inclosed by high peaks under /virgin enow and ice which never melt, ijfout he has to hurry his Eskimo dogs not to lose his Alpine train. This region was visited only by strong Alpine climbers a few years ago, but it is now open to all, owing to the construction of the Jungfrau railway.

BUSY BEES RIVAL BURBANK.

.^Unwittingly They Produce a New Potato In Washington. SPOKANE. Wash., July 6.—The busy little bee is responsible for a new variety of Spokane county potato, according to Henry K, Bradley. The new tuber has been dubbed the Bradley potato in view of the fact that it was developed on his farm.

The potato is really a cross between the Burbank and the Million Dollar varieties, he says. The origin was accidental. The credit must go to the bees, which carried the pollen from the """blossom of one and deposited it in the blossom of the other.
