Raleigh, Jan. 16.— (A*) —The federal warehouse act, providing for the li censing and inspection of public ware houses by government officials pro tects farmers from losses due to un sound or fraudulent warehouse re ceipts, declares the United States de partment of agriculture, in a depart ment bulletin just received here. The law’ applies to warehouses for the storage of cotton, grain, wool, to bacco. farmers’ stock of peanuts, late crop potatoes, broom corn, dry edible beans, dried fruit, and cane aud maple! syrup. , ■ * “In almost every stale where agri cultural products are placed in pub lic storage,” the department says, “losses sometimes totalling millions have been reported. During the past season, losses sustained iir two states by farmers who placed their grain ip Storage in public warehouses were exceedingly heavy, being estimated at more than $200,000.” The department citdT as a typical instance of such a loss that of a farm er who stored ,his year’s crop w’ith a warehousopia’p.; He received a ware house receW'fJlYljjch h e so ld to a grain • dealer, /vyWp!*tfce dealer presented the arttUfalled for the delivery of the grain, the warehouse was emp ty. The dealer then fell back on the farmer from whom he bought the receipt. The warehouseman was, of course, prosecuted, but, points out the bulletin, that did not pay the farmer for his grain, “A review of the storage losses of the past ten years sows that in prac tically all cases the losses would never have occurred, if the warehousemen had been operating under the United States warehouse act.” Under the law’, the department says, when a warehouseman applies for license, tlie warehouse and the op erator are investigated, and the ware houseman is required to file a bond before a license is granted. After being licensed, the warsehduse and its accounts are inspected periodically t,o show whether the requirements of the act are being met, and especially to make certain that the products cov ered by receipts are actually in the warehouse. Tlie law, points out the bulletin, is not compulsory, and the depart ment is urging farmers to prevail up on tbeir local warehousemen to be come licensed.

Offerings were comparatively light, however, aud the decline was checked by. renewed covering around 19.75 for May and 18,23 or October, sufficient to cause rallies of 5 or 6 points from the low’est and give the market a steady undertone at the end of the first hour.

BROWN ONE SPOKESMAN He Tells the Committee \ Delay Will Mean Big Loss to Industry in North Carolina. Washington, Jan. 18.—The Senate agricultural committee was urged today by representatives of civic bodies of North Carolina to sanction immediate license of waterpower de velopment of the Tennessee River and its tributaries. Delegations appeared in opposition to the resolution offered by Chairman Norris, which would prohibit the Fed eral Power Commission from issuing permits to develop power projects on the Tennessee River and tributaries until Congress has adopted a Muscle Shoals policy. * - Marcus W. Brown, of Asheville, told the committee that postponement of development on the Tennessee Riv er would retard industrial develop ment in North Carolina and Tennes see. He declared that delay would do “infinitely more harm to the com munity than higher prices for power that might be charged by private in terests than if the government de veloped the project.” Senator Norris declared that he in troduced the resolution because he was opposed to turning over great nat ural resources to private interests for • their private gain and that he believ ed cheaper power could be obtained in the Southeast by development 7 of the Tennessee River than is now produced in Canada. Mr. Brown said he beli«ved pas sage of the resolution would deprive the communities of the immediate need of power instead of giving them cheap power. Mayor John H. Cathey, of Ashe ville, declared that Muscle Shoals waa like the poor, it will be with us ail the time. . Muscle. Shoals , will never be settled" al long as’lt is sh 'polities,"’ he declared. He declared the life of the eommun iities depended on power, and it was not so much the question .of cost as they most have it if industrial opera tions are to be continued. Within the last few years, he said, industries valued at $250,000,000, have been halted and they were directly depend ent on power. If the resolution is not passed, he said, the-necessary pow er will be available within two years.
