Houston. Texas, June 19. Hous
ton is all set for the great Demo
cratic National Convention, which
will convene here on June 26. And
while Houston has been bending
every effort toward perfecting plans
for the convention, civic leaders
have not been overlooking the op
portunity so to shape this work that
it will fit Into the solid foundation
of a still greater Houston. Although
the movement and actual construc
tion of the convention coliseum has
been somewhat of an overnight pro
ject, all workers seemingly have
been impressed with the idea that
they are not building a temporary
structure.
The city of Houston was laid out
according to a well-defined city plan
by its pioneers. Leaders of civic life
in villages, towns and cities thru
out the nation are expected to ab
sorb some concrete ideas on city
building when they are in Houston
for the convention. These local
leaders are pioneers and it is to
them that future generations will
point when their towns become
cities.
The coliseum is placed in the cen
ter of what is destined to be a "civ
ic center," an area in which many
future public buildings are planned.
In this there is a good idea of city
building. No community is too
small to start planning for the fu
ture, and a sound foundation pro
vides for later phenomenal growth.
In its early days Houston was a
small, secluded town. It has be
come large and powerful because of
the wise planning of its pioneers.
An arrangement program for the
convention has been perfected that
is considered, adequate to care for
another 100,000 overnight addition
to the population.
Special arrangements are being

These are the words of Jesse H.
Jones, Houston capitalist and chair
man of the arrangements commit
tee: "Come to Houston, the city is
ready to care for you."
Claude G. Bowers, New York edi
torial writer, historian and orator,
will be the keynote speaker at the
convention. Mr. Bowers attracted
great attention by his address at
the last Jackson Day dinner, which
is considered a masterpiece. It
was beautifully written, and most
effectively spoken.
It was Jesse H. Jones who led the
fight for Houston when the Demo
cratic convention city was being
chosen. Mr. Jones is the publisher
of the Houston Chronicle.

WHEAT MENS AS
CROP PROGRESSES
High Protein at Premium
With Soft Varieties
Scarce; Lambs Firm.
(O. A. C. Extension Service, Agricul
tural Economics.)
Corvallis, Ore., June 18. Wheat
crops generally throughout the
northern hemisphere made good
progress last week according to
trade reports and the markets in
clined to weaken. Unofficial esti
mates now place the Canadian crop
at 400,000,000 bushels. The Italian
crop is figured at 257,000,000 bushels
or the largest on record. The crop
in Tunis is large. These figures in
dicate that hard spring wheat and
durum will be quite plentiful. There
is a large crop of hard red winter
being harvested in this country. The
principal shortage appears to be in
soft red winter and similar grades
of wheat The St Louis market
closed at $1.77 on No. 2 soft red win
ter which was materially lower than
the previous week. Substantial pre
miums were continued on high pro
tein. Rye markets were firm be
cause of the poor prospect for that
grain. Barley was firmer on the
coast with poorer crop prospects
but weakened slightly in the east
ern markets and in Europe because
of favorable new crop prospects for
feed grains. Flax was slightly
lower.
Hay, Pasture and Feeds. Although
hay crops improved in condition
slightly during May, the crop of
both tame and wild hay is expected
to be small. Conditions are poorest
in the North and South Central
States. The western states, except
Montana may have as much or
more hay than last year. Recent
reports indicate steady hay markets
considering seasonal influences in
the east, but rather too much hay
being offered on the Coast Just
what effect the extremely poor al
falfa and clover prospect in eastern
districts may have on the demand
for western alfalfa for dairy pur
poses remains to be seen. Pasture
conditions improved rather gener
ally during May but remain in very
poor condition in North Central
states especially.
Potatoes. Although the acreage of
second early potatoes was increas
ed about 10 per cent commercial
production is now estimated at 6
per cent less than last year. Ar
kansas, Missouri and southern Neb
raska show increases, Kansas and
Oklahoma decreases, while New
Jersey, Maryland and Kentucky
are figured about the same as 1927.
Potato shipments have been run
ning very heavy recently and the
market is extremely unfavorable
for growers of early potatoes and
holders of old stock.
Dairy Products. Storage stocks of
butter are about equal 1927 stocks
at this date on the Coast but for
the entire country there was on
June 1 about 16,000,000 pounds
against more than 25,000,000 last
year. Cheese stocks were slightly
higher than a year ago. Butter
prices were firm to slightly higher
on best grades at coast markets
last week. Eastern markets were
steady but nervous in the east, with
production increasing slowly and
running about equal to last year at
this time. The foreign markets
continue firm.
Poultry and Eggs. Stocks of fro
zen poultry on June 1 were about
44.000,000 pounds against over 61,
000,000 last year and a five-year av
erage of nearly 54,000,000 pounds.
Of turkeys there were 8,371,000
pounds which is slightly less than
a year ago and nearly 1,000,000
pounds under average. Case eggs
totaled 8,162,000 cases against 8,
962,000 last year and an average of
7,735,000 cases on June 1. Stocks of
frozen eggs totaled 68,000,000 pounds
which is less than last year but
well above average. The Canadian
egg and poultry situation is report
ed quite firm.
Livestock. A generally firm trend
in cattle and hog markets and sea
sonal declines in slaughter sheep
and lambs were noted in last weeks
livestock market news. Lamb re
ceipts in eastern markets ran well
ahead of the previous week and
ahead of the same period last year.
Prices went downward rather
sharply, especially on lower grades.
The situation appears to be rela
tively firmer for choice lambs of
which there may not be an over
supply. Storage stocks of frozen
beef on June 1 were about 21,000,000
pounds against nearly 29,000,000 a
year earlier. On the other hand
pork and lard stocks were much
larger than a year ago. Of frozen
lamb and mutton there was 1,235.000
pounds or about the same as last
year' but 1,000,000 pounds less than
average.
Fruits and Vegetables. The late
strawberry crop is expected to be
much smaller than last year, or
nearly 78,000,000 quarts compraed to
about 100,000,000 last year. New
York expects a decrease of one-third
and Washington and Oregon to
gether may have 38,000,000 quarts
compared to 53,000,000 last year. The
total strawberry crop is expected to
be about 376,000,000 quarts or 35,
000,000 in excess of the record crop
of 1927. Shipments are decreasing
rapidly and the market is firmer.
Estimates now place the United
States pear crop at 23,130,000 bush
els against 18,072,000 last year and
20,150,000 the five-year average.
About two-thirds of the pear pro
duction is expected in western
states. The Washington crop is
much larger than last year but Ore
gon may fall slightly below the rec
ord of the last two years. Apple
prospects are estimated at 72 per
cent of normal against 57 a year
ago, 78 two years ago, and 68 the
ten-year June 1 average. Prospects
are poorest in Missouri, Arkansas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas where late frost caused ex
tensive damage. The European
fruit season is reported somewhat
backward, while economic condi
tions are improved; thus it appears
that export apple markets may be
better than expected earlier in the
year. A large peach crop totaling
64,000,000 bushels is in prospect of
which California is estimated to
produce a bumper crop of 25,000,
000 bushels, Washington more than

Farmers Warned of
Fake Hog Scheme
Roger Morse, county agent ' of
Baker county and formerly holding
the same position in this county,
has given out word that the Cen
tral U. S. Swine company has been
found operating in Baker county.
In view of the fact that they may
attempt to sell farmers of Morrow
county pn their scheme at any time,
C. W. Smith, county agent, has
authorized exposure of their meth
ods and contract which have been
uncovered from their dealings else
where. This company, with head offices
at Spokane, Wash., has been oper
ating since 1923, having a force of
high powered salesmen on the job
throughout several states of the
middle west and northwest, as well
as parts of Canada. Approaching
the farmer with a contract they
desire to sell him a pure bred Ches
ter White gilt far above the mar
ket price, agreeing in return to
buy back all female progeny "up to
a certain standard" also above the
market price, making a glowing
money-making oportunity for the
farmer.
Investigation of the contract has
shown it to be legal regarding en
forcement of the farmer keeping
his part, but has proved it not bind
ing on the said company in buying
back the progeny. In many in
stances farmers have never receiv
ed the gilts paid for, and records of
dealings of the company show the
farmer in most Instances holding
the sack. If any farmer of Morrow
