Plowing Is Delayed.

CHICAGO, August 29.—The Modern Miller crop outlook bulieiin says: Fall plowing in the winter wheat belt has been delayed bv dry weather and hard ground. A reduction in the acreage is suggested a* ther* was a rush of plowing at this time last year because uf the guaranteed price of *2.36. Farmers of the spring wheat belt will make every effort tt retrieve this year's losses by liberal breaking of ground this fall and next spring. Quality of wheat from the southwest la better. but te below that If a year ago. Quantity and equality of northwest are disappointing Movement of wheat to terminal marketa is increasing. Much com has matured.

pounds to the bushel. “The Indiana law provides that such sales shall be on a weight basis, and I have directed Mr. Tolan and the rest of our state staff to insist that there be no violation,” said Mr. Barnard. “The excuse that the federal government is not enforcing the net weight container act is not sufficient excuse for our winking at violations in Indiana. “I have* directed Mr. Toian to proceed against all violators of the law In connection with the sale of Michigan apples and all other produce that comes in marked so ambiguously. Commission houses that fail to stamp the correct weight on such packages and retailers who sell without this protection to themselves may find themselves In

trouble.”

“Any grocer who sold potatoes at 10 cents a pound is more than a profiteer— he is a robber,” Mr. Barnard wrote to Dr. Merl C. Park, of Mooresville. who reported that a grocer there was demanding that price. Dr, Barnard asked the name of the offender and promised to give the information lo the United States attorney. Retail prices of potatoes have varied from* 5 to 7 cents In Indiana cities that have reported the result of fair price committee investi-
