Prowlers entered the T. C. Power company elevator In the Northern Pacific yards early Saturday morning and stole a large quantity of sacked grain.

The theft was not discovered until the elevator opened for business Saturday morning. The burglars entered through a broken window and apparently carried the groin out at their leisure, loaded it Into a truck and drove away. Reports of the burglary were made to the police department and the sheriff's offjce yesterday morning but investigations failed to disclose any clue to the thieves. That they' knew their business was evidenced by the fact that they carefully obliterated the tire tracks left In the mud by the truck when It pulled up along the platform. These tracks were BO thoroughly stamped out that 50 feet from the elevator there were not the, slightest marks to Indicate in' which direction tlie trucks was driven, according to Deputy Art Parsons who investigated the case.

15--Six monthi old, the federal farm board hai authorized loans of governmen funds aggrgating $58,690,000 and put into actual operation three na tlonal commodity marketing organ Izatlons. These achievements stand in bold relief against a background of numerous activities dating from July 16, 1929, when President Hoover invested the eight members of the board with "responsibility, authority and resources such as have never before leen- conferred by our government in assistance to any industry." In brief the board has: Made commitments of $68,690,000 to farm co-operatives handling grain, cotton, fruits, livestock, wool and mohair, dairy products, rice, beans, honey and seeds. Perfected natioual marketing facilities for the producers of graiu, wool and mohair and cotton. Instituted similar programs for the producers of livestock and encouraged centralized marketing plans for poultry and eggs, dairy, products, potatoes, fruits and vegetables and tobacco. Directed a national campaign In reduce the cotton acreage 6,000,000 acres and prevent excessive planting tions handled approximately breeding in other commodities.

The American Cotton Co-operative association, with temporary headquarters af Dallas, offers a controlled market to 2,100,000 cotton growers whose crop approximates a value of $1,600,000,000 annually. Last year cotton cooperatives handled about $100,000,000 worth of cotton, or about 6 to 11 per cent of the total production. Si RDIL LEE FIRM ICES LOWER Washington, -Economists of the department of agriculture said today that the genera) level of farm prices "probnbb is now lower than on January 16 and somewhat lower than In February a year ago," despite the fact that advances In hog have offset IB part the- decline In grain, cotton and egg prices. The statement was made In a report of the bureau of agricultural economics on current conditions In agriculture.

Notwithstanding' the marked drop in wheat prices, the report says, some Improvement a a likely In the next few weeks. The visible supply of wheat in the United States has declined about 40,000,000 bushels from the peak in October but Is still larger than year ago by about 37,000,000 bushels. Shipments from the southern iiemlsphere a considerably less than a year ago, the economists said, and shipments from the United States are increasing slightly. "It seems likely that European demand for foreign wheat will increase and larger quantities will taken from the United States In the latter part of the season," the report said.
