Regulation of the packers was the point upon which the most emphatic decision was given, the farmers being in favor of regulation. They also voted against a gen eral sales tax, for building of farm-to-market roads first, against the further issuance of tax-free securities by other than national agencies, against short-selling of farm products, and in favor of the truth-in-fabrics bill. They also voted in favor of legislation for co-operative marketing, and for prior-1 ity for loans for basic production. Purchase of twine for harvest was discussed, but no action was taken. SEVERAL ARE INJURED IN BELFAST MELEE (By Associated Press) BELFAST, June 11 One person was shot and perhaps fatally wounded, and several civilians were so roughly handled that they had to be taken to! hospitals during a melee on Cupar on street last night. A police lorry was passing the scene of the serious affray which occurred yesterday when it was fired upon. The police returned the fire, and a general melee followed. While the fight was in progress, crowds of unionists gathered along Shankhill street and cheered excitedly. The night was a sleepless one for the falls district, where the incident occurred, and many Sinn Feiners leaving there changed their quarters. All roads leading from the city were under close guard by crown forces and every automobile passing along them was challenged. During the night a saloon owned by a Sinn Feiner was riddled by bullets.

CONDITION OF PRACTICALLY ALL CROPS POOR; APPLES, PEACHES, PEARS, LOWEST IN HISTORY

The condition of practically all crops declining during the month compared with the condition figures reported on May 1, and apples, peaches and pears show the lowest June 1 conditions ever reported in the state. according to the report of George C.I Bryant, statistician for the co-oper-1 ative crop reporting service, issued j today. The wheat and rye crops, however, show a considerable increase in total production over last year, but all others show a decrease. The report follows: The condition of winter wheat on June 1, was 85 per cent of normal compared with 90 per cent on May 1 and indicates a total production of 32,359,000 bushels. This is preliminary and subject to change later. Last year's June 1 estimate was 21.000,000 bushels. In some sections of the state the crop is in very good condition while in others it seems to be going back very fast, being full of red rust and infected with Hussian fly and joint worms. Cheat has also made its appearance in some localities. Wheat Acreage Less. The spring wheat acreage in the state is slightly less than last year. The condition June 1, compared with normal was 83 per cent and indicates a total production of 66,000 bushels. The oats acreage is practically the same as last year for the state as a whole, being 1.875,000 acres. Some counties show a decided decrease and some a slight increase. The condition

was 88 per cent of normal on June l.iper cent of normal, respectively, and indicates a total production ofj Peaches Ruined.

Some fields are quite weedy and j by the preceding severe winter, the the growth is somewhat uneven in condition of peaches on June 1, was all sections of the state. Rains the 1 the lowest ever recorded in the state,

latter part of May materially helped the crop. Barley Decreases. The barley acreage shows a decrease of eight per cent, being 69,000 acres, compared with 75.000 acres last year. The condition June 1. was S3 per cent of normal and indicates a total production of 1,877.000 bushels compared with 2,025,000 bushels final estimate for last year. This crop is weedy in places and somewhat uneven in growth. Of all the small grain crops rye shows the best condition at this time,

BREAK IN EXCHANGE HITS EXPORT WHEAT; ' RAIL STRIKE FEARED

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, 111.,. June 11 Violent changes in price have made the wheat market stormy this week, but have largely offset each other. Depression in foreign exchange and uncertainty re-!about domestic anti-pit legislation fin ally outweignea Duinsn tactors. cornpared with a week ago, wheat this morning was c to lic lower, corn down 314c to 414c, and oats off 33c to 3c.

The oats market was depressed by the ' bearish government report as to oats.

Oils suffered far more than any other division, the Mexican situation and the state of oil trade playing directly into the hands of the shorts. Monday on demand relaxed to lowest quotations in the last six weeks and time funds were less rigid, with moderate purchases of merchants' paper. Basing their conclusions on the continued improvement of the federal reserve banks, brokers were inclined to expect further reduction of interest and rediscount rates by that institution.
