GRAIN SLUMP COSTS FARMER BILLION LOSS Estimate Based on Fall of Prices From Level of Year Ago. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 25. American farmers face a loss of $1,125,000,000 in income this year with the slump of grain prices to new low levels, market statisticians figured today. The enormous figure was based on the differences in prices over a year ago for wheat, com, oats, rye and cotton, the staple crops of the nation which farmers depend on for money to spend on other commodities they are not able to raise. Wheat prices stood below a dollar a bushel today in every North American market. On the Chicago Board of Trade, the nation’s largest market that is housed in anew forty-four-story limestone skyscraper, July wheat closed Wednesday at 88% cents a bushel, a price comparable to the low marks at the outset of the World war. The mark was 31% cents below last year’s price. World Markets Glutted Corn was 17% cents lower; oats, 8% cents lower; rye, 34% cents lower; New Orleans cotton was $27.10 lower. The cause generally was ascribed to the glut of grain in all markets of the world with bigger crops in the southwest promising to augment the oversupply. Harvest is well under way in the southwest and despite the fact that many farmers have indicated they will store their grain, commission men feared a flood of new grain to descend. Millions have been lost by grain speculators who bought grain at higher prices and now are faced with making good deliveries. Shatter Low Records The federal farm board, which bought wheat at around $1.25 a bushel to bolster the prices several months ago, is said to be faced with big paper losses. Some of the operators are inclined to blame the farm board and its subsidiaries for the lack of confidence in the market, which they said is an important factor in the price slump. The low prices have shattered records of many years’ standing. Wheat is lower than at any time since 1913-14; corn is at its lowest mark since 1926; oats is at its lowest since 1922, and rye has not sold so cheaply since the depression of 1896.

CANCER GROWS MORE MENACING, PHYSICIAN SAYS Threatening Foundation of Civilization, Declares Tumor Specialist. Bu Science Service DETROIT, June 25.—“ Cancer has outgrown its classification among the diseases common to mankind. It threatens the very foundation of civilization,” declared Dr. William H. Kraemer of the tumor clinic, Jefferson hospital, Philadelphia, at the meeting here today of the American Radium Society. “The realization of the seriousness of cancer is the most pressing medical problem confronting the physician at the present time,” Dr. Kraemer said. The difficulty of diagnosing the disease is the weakest link in the present system of management. Public Unimpressed The public likewise is not sufficiently impressed with the need of an early discovery, in order to effect a cure of the disease. Because the average patient does not know enough about the present proved methods of cancer treatment, he lacks faith in the medical profession and as a result patients by the thousands follow fake cancer cures around the country, Dr. Kraemer said. The entire success of cancer treatment depends on early diagnosis by the clinician. He must become so skilled that he will be able to recognize it in the early stage in his patients. Taught Major Subject Dr. Kraemer recommended that in every medical school, cancer should be taught as a separate major subject and that every hospital connected with a medical school should have a tumor clinic. By this means, every graduate would gain practical knowledge of

Even my doctor said, ‘lt’s wonderful stuff.’ You may publish this letter for I want all the world to know how this medicine has helped me.” — Mrs. Horten Jones, 208 48th Street , Union City, N. J.
