New Wheat
Resists Rust
Chicago, June t W) Rust, dark
hued scourge of the grain fields, will
encounter the best defense ever pre
pared by growers if It spreads Into
the spring wheat belt this year,
crop experts said today.
The newest bulwark against the
grain farmer's relentless enemy has
been fashioned in the agronomists'
laboratories. It is the latest variety
of rust resisting wheat, known as
Thatcher."
For years farmers have been fight
ing the microscopic parasitic fungus
which streaks with the wind through
golden wheat fields, turning them
ot a sickly brown.
They have had little success. Rust
destroyed 300,000,000 bushels In the
1904 and 1919 ravages, and 100,000.-
000 bushels In 1935. The scourge,
most prevalent during hot, humid
weather, was visited upon many
fields last year.
The new Thatcher wheat which
has been evolved from cooperative
researches In plant pathology and
breeding has been sown In record-
breaking acreage In the spring wheat
belt of Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Canada this year.
Three years ago, when rust did
heavy damage, very little Thatcher
had been planted, said H. C. Dono
van, Chicago crop authority. Irfut
year there was much Thatcher in
the Red River valley and Donovan
said he noticed that Its thicker
skinned shaft warded off rust spores
satisfactorily.

Wheat Loans Vary
In Grade,
Washington, June 8 (IP) Agricultural adjustment ad
ministration officials indicated today rates for the forth
coming wheat loan would vary as to wade and distance
irom central markets.
The new farm law provisions re-
latlng to commodity loans give the
AAA authority to set the rate be
tween 62 and 76 per cent of "parity'
theoretical "fair price
which government economists place
at tl.19 a bushel.
On this basis, the loan rate may
be between go and 86 cents a bushel.
While AAA officials emphasized
oo decision on the rates had been
made, they Indicated the "base"
rate would be close to SO cents a
bushel. The base rate would be
the amount of loan the government
would make on a standard grade of
wheat at a definite market, either
Chicago, Minneapolis or Kansas
City. "
Better grades would be eligible
for loans up to possibly 76 or 80
cents a bushel, while rates for low
er grades would be less than 60
cents.
Only growers who compiled with
the 1938 soli conservation program
will be eligible for loans, officials
said.
Facing prospects of a bumper
wheat crop that may establish a
record-breaking surplus ot at least
400,000,000 bushels, AAA officials
declared lt was their hope growers
would approve loan rates that
would not tend to peg prices above
world markets and retard exports.
The purpose of the loan, they said.
was to help farmers who hold sur
plus wheat from the market to pre
vent demoralisation- of prices.
The loan program was discussed
today by AAA officials with a con-
gresslonal group from wheat states
which included Senators Pope (D,
Idaho), McOlU (D, Kss ), Lee (D,
Okla,), Hatch D M), and Re
presentatives Jones (D., Tex.), and
Pierce (D, Ore.)

The problem is most acute In the
Willamette valley of Oregon, the
Yakima valley of Washington and
the Boise, Snake and Payette val
leys of Idaho, said Duffy. He es
