. round. Lis. . 1 ,p2 J FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT f Washington. Black rust In the '; Northwest, particularly. In the Da. kotas and Minnesota, and to las 1 er extent due to leu rain la Mon. , jtana, ia going to upset a lot of '' !AAA calculations on wheat ' this ' Sear. For example, all government figures so far are very misleading, '-.. that. th MtlmnrA- hlinhftlK. -ftf (wheat, but take no acocunt of the , fact that due to the peculiar type 01 ravaging diuck rusi eawn, ui uhm nnmber of bushels of wheat ' will produce less flour. 1 ' '.'' Conservative estimates In Mlnne- apolls and St Paul for example, are that from 40 to 50 per cent of the wheat crop expected , in the whole Northwest will be nnmlllable. tThat is, It would not, In the normal . course of events, be ground Into floor. This Is complicated further ; by the processing taxes. The processing tax is based on the bushel of wheat that goes into the floor mill. Now a busbel of .wheat which has been affected by black rust will produce only a frac tion of the flour that a normal bush el , of wheat would. In ordinary times, this would be carefully cal culated, and would be reflected In a much lower price paid for that "wheat by the miller. But the fact that the processing tax is based on the bushel of wheat, not on the barrel of flour, upsets normal cal culations. cnl Black rust strikes the wheat on side always on the southern .wide. If the weather Is dry, it does m - j, .u. , i t nor spread arouuu uic kciuci. n the weather is damp it does. It makes . a ring all around, and as most of the nourishment comes up near the circumference of the ker nel. Instead of through the center, the food of the kernel Is choked off. This means that In a bushel of rust Infested wheat, there is an unusu ally large percentage of bran, and an unusually small percentage which can be ground Into white flour. Canada Also Hit The duty on wheat from Canada la 42 cents a bushel. Canada also suffered from black rust this year, but Canada has a tremendous carry overconsiderably more than 100; 000,000 bushels, which la not affect , ed by black rust Moreover, the gov ernment of Canada has decided to liquidate this wheat, which It has been holding in much the same way 'that the United States government held cotton, and as the Brazilian government held coffee. This bold-over Canadian wheat 'experts say, can easily pay the 42 cents duty, and the processing tax, and still be a bargain for Minne apolis millers In contrast with about one-half of the northwestern wheat This Is due to the complication of the processing tax plus the fact that half or more of the northwest ern wheat assays such a small pro portion of flour. Predictions by experts are that at least 50,000,000 bushels of this hold-over Canadian wheat will be bought by United States millers, and probably nearer 100,000,000 bushels. The rnst-lnfested wheat thus driven out will have to be sold as ' cattle feed. But there en ters another complication. There .Is already In the Northwest a great plenty of cattle feed. All rorage crops were good this year, due to the very moisture which hurt the wheat Forage crops, due to their bulk as compared with their -value, cannot be hauled economically for long distances. Which means that if they are to be consumed at all, they must be consumed In the north western states. From all of which experts pre dict that there will be tremendous " buying of young pigs for fattening, and young cattle. In the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Montana, this year, and. that while the production of beef may not affect prices before 1937, the price of pork will be forced down by next summer, no matter what the AAA may do. . Atlantic-Gulf Canal Aside entirely from the question of whether the construction of the Atlantic-Gulf canal across northern Florida will ruin the fresh water - supply of that portion of the state south of the proposed dltcb down to Lake Okechobee, the' proposition Is really on alt fours with the - much talked about Passamoquaddy, It has .been considered for many - yeara. Always It has been reject ed, after study oy engineers. Al - ways the reason has been the same, - . - JI is. entirely practical na eu..eu- f glneerlng project Indeed it , pre ' sent few real difficulties from that 1 - angle. If this contamination of Flor- ' . to one side. But Is It economically v sound? . The answer has alwars t been rXoPS-fW "'"-' , t Careful study, eves this time, pro , , Uuced a report to President. Roose- - veltthat If the total volume of 'business which might be expected should materialise still the orono- sltlos) would not pay Interest on Its ' i cost and operating expenses. There - Is no hair jlne about this,. The ex-' . pens have no doubt about It What ever., ' j- ':, " ;' ... ''V.'''''' , I angle. .Three-fourths of the pres ent tonnage, moving from Gulf ports to North Atlantic American ports, and. across the Atlantic (tonnage for South Atlantic ports, of course would not use It) consists at pres ent Of OIL No one Is la a posi tion to state how long this tonnage will continue so to move. Oil fields now 'shipping by way of !the Gulf may continue shipping formany years.' On the other hand, , their production may slump any time. . Also it Is always possible that pipe lines may be found more econom ical for moving the product ' ' ' So that no one knows at what moment three-fourths of the exist-, lng tonnage that this canal might expect may be cut off. , (. Can't Foretell Tonnage . Against this the contention Is made In defense that no one can foretell what business may arise to "provide plenty of tonnage for the canaL It Is quite possible. Many railroads doing a large business today, and serving very real needs, were con structed to accommodate' traffic which, has long since disappeared would never have been built ft their builders, and the Investors who provided the construction costs, had suspected that the traffic -they were built to handle might evaporate. The Immediate pressure for the canal, of course. Is to provide some useful work for Idle men some thing that will not be mere boon doggling. On the theory that this work may be useful may even prove profitable for reasons not now realized the work Is Justified by Its defenders. And it Is a real Job. The canal will be 195 miles long. It Involves moving almost twice as much dirt as was Involved In dig ging the Panama canal slides and all. Though on account of the dif ference In terrain, climate, etc., the expense will not be anything like as great About Politic It Is an old saying in politics that the man "out In front" in the race for the Presidential nomina tion of a big party six months be fore the convention Is bound to be killed off. The theory Is that all the other candidates are shoot ing at him. Also that the publle Is highly changeable, and forgets easily. There are exceptions to all rules, as evidenced In this case by the pres ent Incumbent of the White House. Franklin D. Roosevelt was . well out In front for the Democratic nomination for 18 months prior to the 1932 Democratic convention. He sprang Into the lead when be was re-elected governor of .New York, by a tremendous majority, In November, 1930. His boom de- fled all traditions by staying there, despite all sorts of ups and downs, right through the whole period. To use a racing term, his boom was never beaded. There Was never a day from November, 1930, until his nomination In June, 1932, when fair betting odds would not have fa vored him against any other candi date. Or for that matter, , against any two other candidates. Politicians of both parties are wondering if an exception will come this time In the Republican party. At present the two leaders, so far out In front that It seems hardly worth while to figure who Is third. and who is fourth, are Senator Wil liam K. Borah and Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, v Almost any politician, '' familiar with national politics, will tell his friends confidentially that if either of the two Is nominated, it will ' be Knox. Aa to Borah That Is one of the reasons the recent poll of Republican local lead ers by Robert H. Lucas was so in teresting. Apparently these local leaders thought Borah would make a very strong candidate In their communities, .whether they person ally would prefer another type or not As to his age, Borah Is In marvel ous Condition, considering his sev enty years. Friends are fond of saying he has all the Mormon vir tues. By which they mean' he uses no tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol. He Is a sparing eater, and has kept op bis horseback riding, even In Wash Ington, vHe Insists on his, beauty sleep every night,-' cares - nothing about society, ' never ' subjects him self te any undue tralns. For ex ample, even when he was tremen dously Interested In filibusters, he never made the long, grueling, time killing speeches - for which -some other senators are famous. - -All his life hennas been a lone wolf In politics. ;. In the senate he has never been- a cog In the ma chine. .. He would never be "regu The strength of Colonel Knox, as shown In, various polls, is simply revolutionary from a political stand point One has to go back to Hor ace Oreely for a precedent, and even that Is not a good one. . - ....
