To the far flung nature of this farm ing enterprise can be partly blamed a drop of about five cents in wheat prices the last two weeks. Traders viewing reports from many countries, place the 1938 world crop at about one billion bushels in excess of normal world con sumption. The U. S. alone may have an export surplus of 375,000,- 000 bushels. The winter wheat harvest in North America is near ing completion, and much progress has been made in Europe. The southern hemisphere will not har vest this year’s crop until late fall, and harvesting will continue in Argentina all winter. HEADLINES IN NEW YORK Paint sales hold at good levels; July running ahead of June . . . . Inventories of tire manufacturers reduced sharply .. . First half motor company earnings: Chrysler $1.31 a share against $6.31 in 1937 period, General Motors 66 cents a share against $2.47 a share in 1937 period . . . Auto makers, facing car shortage, speed 1939 model preparations . . . Record crop of lambs (32.221,000 head) predicted this year . . . U. S. exports ex ceed imports by $631,074,000 in first half, largest margin since 1921. MARCH OF PROGRESS Despite depression, high taxes and similar phenomena that give business men gray hair, scientists continue to turn out new products in America’s 1,600 industrial re search laboratories. It is reported that the B. F. Goodrich Co. has de veloped a new synthetic rubber like material, koroseal, which can be used for wall coverings, umbrel las and raincoats, and in many in dustrial applications. Since Amer ican climate is not adapted to growing real rubber, which there fore must be imported from far away Africa, the East Indies and South America, the search for a good synthetic rubber has been a “must” for years. A battery-less telephone designed for use in lum ber camps, coal mines and aboard ships has been announced by West ern Electric Co. Conversations can be conducted for distances up to 200 miles, and the only outside source of power is vibration of the speaker’s voice which generates the energy necessary to transmit the sound. Eastman Kodak Co. has added a chapter to progress in the photographic world with a new 2 1-4 by 3 1-4 inch amateur cam era which automatically adjusts itself to light conditions. AUGUST SALES Stores from Maine to California will launch August sales this week. With temperatures near the 90’s, women shoppers are taking advan tage of low summer prices to buy winter furs. Clothing, furniture and housewares are also being of fered at clearance prices. To the housewife, buying in the slack sea son means saving money. To the merchant, it means clearing his shelves and getting ready for the perennial autumn pick-up. Coun try-wide reports from retailers in dicate that a good volume of busi ness is going to be done this month. THINGS TO WATCH FOR A table lamp which provides in -1 direct light in a rectangular pat tern to conform to desk or table area ... A liquid measuring de vice that puts the cork back in the bottle after delivering an exact ounce of liquid; it fits any bottle and pours 16 measured drinks a minute ... A fireplace that heats without smoking, gives a cheery glow for as long as 12 hours and can be used to heat several rooms at once; coal is held in a basket grate and is ignited by a special kindler . . . Transparent cigarette paper, made of tobacco cellulose, stronger than ordinary paper and making less ash. HAVE SOME SOY BEANS It is predicted that soy beans will eventually become a popular article of food, though years may be required to break down the pre judice against them. Soy beans taste somewhat like young butter beans and are rich in nutritive val ues. When dry they take long, slow cooking, which is an item against them, though pressure cooking would help there. Tomatoes had a hard time becoming favorites for the table, and it may be that gov ernment experts are right in claim ing that we shall become fond of soy beans, too. WHO IS THIS?

Although patented mainly for its advantages in inter-office communication in a single building, it is said to be adapted for distance use also. It may do away with that remark so irritating at times: “Guess who this is”. $.3,984,000,000 DEFICIT Washington. President Roose velt’s announcement of the revised budget, showing a deficit of $3,- 984,000,000, met with a mixed re ception. Foes of the government s lending-spending policies pointed out that the 1939 budget showed a record increase in peace-time ex penditures, plus a sharp drop in revenues. Friends defended the budget as an investment in more employment and better business, from which John Q. Public would more than get his money s worth. The budget announcement had a quieting effect, but failed to put a damper on the general feeling of optimism. I have a poor opinion of a man who talks to men what women should not hear. —Richardson.
