WHEAT CLOSES $1.54 ON WILD MARKET Touches $1.50 in Most -Sensational Day on Board of Trade. By Leased Wire CHICAGO, Feb. 13. There was a most sensational wheat market today, with the May future selling from $1.68 down to $1.50, on liquidation by longs, and the execution of stopless orders. From the lowest levels there was an advance to $1.54)4, which was the resting spot for the day. The close on Thursday for the May future was $1.59. July sold at $1.34 down sharply to $1.28. and closed at $1.30, or 5c below the closing of Thursday. The fact that the margin calls are exceslve, commission houses requiring 25c a bushel on the May future, and as much as 15 centB on the July, caused many Interested traders to dump their holdings as they feared that more losses faced them. Corn closed at c lower and oats were off to lc. Hog products were lower all around. Cash sales here were small 10,000 bushel of wheat, 25,000 bushel of corn and 5,000 bushels of oats.

CHARITY CHARTS TO SHOW WORK AT CONFERENCE Melpolder Plans Features for Session of State Board Scheduled for Richmond Late Next Autumn. Richmond has begun preparations for the annual state conference of charities which will be held here in October. John Melpolder, secretary of the Central Charity bureau and assistant secretary of the board of state charities and correction said today he has plans which will show 1,5000 deleates who are expected, that Richmond is a "live" city In charity and social service. As Richmond is the only city in Indiana where the Cleveland and Dayton plan of charity administration is being tried with some original ideas and ideas taken from the Russell Sage Foundation plans, it is looked to with considerable interest. Practically all the report forms have been worked out and are in use in every day charity administration. Amos W. Butler, president of the state board of charities suggested that these should be the subject of a complete explanation. Under the direction of Mr. Melpolder, Earlham students are making a series of seven maps which will show clearly every detail of charity and social service work done in the city and every need. Another map will show the contagion and show how this runs by localities, thus emphasizing the necessity of fumigating every house at times, especially when families change " houses. Probably a special map will be prepared for the tuberculosis investigations as the agitation for a tuberculosis hospital In the city has created much interest in this subject. Mr. Melpolder has purchased an interesting book which he will exhibit at the conference meeting. It is a volume printed in 1855 in England on juvenile delinquency. The book is made interesting by the fact that juvenile delinquency research work has been considered a product of the United States only eight or ten years old. Committees Give Reports. Several of the committees are preparing reports which will be sent to the program committee within a few weeks. The committees follow: On Courts and Prisons Judge William C. McMahan, Crown Point, chairman. On State Charities Dr. D. C. Peyton, Jeffersonville, chairman. On Rural Life Dr. W. A. Millis, Hanover, chairman. On Development of Local Charities Prof. C. C. North, Greencastle, chairman. On Child Welfare Rabbi M. M. Feuerlicht, Indianapolis, chairman. Executive Thomas F. Moran, Lafayette, chairman. Local members, Dr. S. E. Smith and Frederick G. White.

HASEMEIER AMENDS CLAIM OF SHORTAGE An amended complaint in the suit of H. C. Hasemeier against the estate of Louisa F. Bentlage was filed in circuit court today after Judge Fox granted a petition of the attorneys for Mr. Hasemeier asking that the amended complaint and claim be filed. The claim is the same as that filed several months ago. The amount is $9,374.30. Added to the claim is the amended complaint is a statement that the money was unlawfully appropriated from the firm of H. C. Hasemeier and company.

COUNCIL TO PROTEST INSURANCE REDUCTION Both Councilmen Howells and Burdsail have signified their intention of bringing up a discussion in council, Monday night, of the action of the board of public works in reducing the insurance on the municipal electric plant from $90,000 to $20,000 this year. Both councilmen say that in their opinion an insurance reduction of $70,000 on the city plant, which has a bonded indebtedness of $139,000 for which the city stands responsible, is a policy which does not properly safeguard the city's interests. President Bavis of the board voted against the insurance reduction but the two other members put it across. Supt. Kleinknecht said he did not think it was necessary to carry any insurance on the plant as there was absolutely no danger of fire.

$4,000,000 APPROPRIATIONS BILL WORRIES DEMOCRATIC LEADERS

Plan to Rush Measure Through Both Houses AbandonedFriends of Jones' Primary Bui Rally and Line Up for Determined Stand for Enactment of Measure.

BY LEA8EO WIRE. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13. For the first time since the beginning of the 1915 legislative session, both houses held Saturday sessions today. T,he mass of work ahead of the two houses made today's session necessary, and in the lower house it was likely that night sessions will be held In the near future. The lower, house leaders now are In a quandary over the action to be taken on the appropriations bill, carrying nearly four million dollars, which was introduced yesterday. The plan was to have the bill presented and ! rush it through without taking up time for public hearings on the various appropriations. A storm of protest has descended upon the Democratic leaders, who contemplated this action, and it is believed action on the measure will be delayed until several . hearings have been held. Lapp's Job Safe. An analysis of the action of last night's caucus of Senate democrats today indicated that the job of John A. Lapp, head of the legislative reference library, was safe.

j.S. Helms Speaks Before Center Farmers

In his lecture on "The Importance of an Ear of Corn," J. 8. Helms, local corn expert, told the farmers at Centerville Institute of the individual value of the ear of seed corn. Mr. Helms said the farmer In selecting his seed corn or the judge in placing the awards in a contest should ask himself the following questions about each ear of corn : Will it grow? Will It mature? Will it yield? Does it show breeding? Mr. Helms said that the weight of j the ear, depth of the kernel, color of the grain, and the size of the germ ; were all influencing factors in select-; ing the best seed corn. Describes Selection. In the afternoon session Mr. Helms talked on "The Selection and Storing of Seed Corn." He told the farmers of the methodB he followed in selecting the seed by which he had developed his famous strain of Reid's Yellow Dent corn, from which he raised the ear that won the national trophy cup two years ago. "When I get ready to select my seed corn, I hang a sack over my shoulder, and go through my seed' plot, selecting the matured ears from the individual ear rows in the plot. I select only typical ears from typical stalks," he said. "Few of us realize the importance of caring for the seed corn after it is picked," said Mr. Helms. "At frost time the corn is usually heavily saturated with moisture, and breaking it from the parents stalk stops the circulation. Light frosts ar sudden j "V-lA.Xl,! .URUtO ..11. Alt V ILL V CUUil. effect. At this stage, corn will germii nate very easily if stored in a warm i place without ventilation. This slight : germination can not be detected by the eye, and many farmers have picked seed corn, stored it in a warm room and then wondered why if failed to germinate or showed only a weak sprout when tested in the spring. Seed Must Mature. "Seed corn to be at its best must be thoroughly matured, picked before 1 freezing weather sets in, and stored ; in a place where it will not get too much heat. It should not be placed in i the sun, in a closed room, or stored ' close under a hot roof. Seed corn : should be thoroughly dried before zero i weather sets in. j "The results of poor seed are miss- ! ing hills in the field, barren stalks and j nubbins. The latter failures are caus- , er by using seed of weak germinative ! powers. "Many corn growers think that an ear of corn that is sound and dry at husking time is well matured. Sundness and drynes do not mean maturity. Any ear of corn that has passed a cer- j tain .stage of development if picked i and dried, will be sound, but if you ! split a kernel flatwise you will notice

reference bureau failed In the committee cemposed of Senators Yarling, Culbertson and J. R. Fleming. It was the concensus of opinion that the committee would find no reason for doing away with Mr. Lapp's Job. In order to present a united front when the time comes for action, the supporters of the Jones primary bill met at the Claypool hotel last night. The meeting ended at midnight, after telegrams and letters from prominent Democrats at Washington and from friends of the measure in Indiana were read, and several speeches had been made in favor of the primary bill. Forty-two men attended the meeting, and among them were a dozen Democrats who are not legislators. Both senators and representatives attended the meeting, and It was decided that no supplementary measures will be considered. The Jones bill will be pushed as the Simon-pure Democratic platform measure. If they are defeated, the Jones adherents decided they would see to it that tne people of the state learn just who is to blame for not legislating on the subject In accord with the pledge which they say binds all Democratic legislators to enact a primary law.

Seed Corn Described that it looks white and starchy, showing that there is Btlll moisture in it. "The planting of seed corn In all stages of maturity is a mistake. If you will watch your fields closely you will find some pollen fertile, while some stalks are just shooting their ears and the tassels ore just coming out. The result is unever polknization, plant food robbing, uneven kernels and poor yields. "The good seed should all be tested by the germination methods to determine whether or not it will grow well. The seed should then be graded in order to obtain an even planting and stand." Geologists say that the Caspian sea is sinking. In 1912 automobiles killed 21 persons in London and 234 in New York.
