By Associated Press. Aug. ancient side real.swasbuckler Mars, now believed by some celestial observers to be declining into a mere astral roue, today took the lead ovr radio, moonshine, baseball and politics, as a topic of conversation among laymen on the Pacific Coast. This was due to the assertions of astronomers that our nearest planetary neighbor had arrived at a point nearer to the earth than he has been for more than 100 years, or a mere 34,000,000 miles away. This Is 14,000,000 miles nearer than his usual distance.

All Set While the man in the street was speculating on the possibility of this brother speck in the cosmos being inhabited and astrologers' were computing the effect of its proximity on the disposition and fortunes of men, trained observers on Mount Hamilton, near San Jose, and at Mount near Los Angeles, have their telescopes, cameras, and spectroscopes trained on the passerby to record any idlosyncracy he may display. Elsewhere the radio, with its greedy Antennae, is groping tn ether for anything audible the sphere might by some chance cast off. While'the more credulous and romantic are hopeful of some sign that may serve to link the earth a little closer to the solar brotherhood, the skeptical scientists in the mountain observatories expect no such thing to happen. The most they hope for, they sa'rt today, was a little knowledge with respect to the atmospheric and climatic conditions on Mars. Work to Take Months.

Washington Bureau, The Telegraph, WASHINGTON, D. Aug. What are the prospects for wheat and corn prices, now at the highest point since 1921, continuing upward? Not so good as regards wheat and exceptionally bright for corn, according to experts of the federal Department of Agriculture.

These authorities of crop statistics declare It as their opinion that the price of wheat has not reached its peak and that from now until January 1, 1925, a decline may be It is pointed out that the heaviest receipts of grain at the primary markets always come in September and October, and in the face of the general grain situation it ia regard ed as inconceivable that re- "celpts 1 should uot-couse the market to sag. A price slightly above last year's dollar average at the primary market Is what the Department of Agriculture experts now regard fairly certain. They s'ay that reports of crop damage in Canada have exaggerated the actual situation and that condition for the past few Indicate a higher yield than earlier reports suggested. It is not anticipated that there will be an increased European demand for American wheat and that Canada not call upon this country for! latch that operates the lock, and more than 150,000,000 bushels. This reported the robbery to the Venice alone will assure higher prices than quoted a year ago, but the experts figure that the top will not be as elevated as speculative prices quoted might seem to Indicate.

There is, it is pointed out, a corn factor that will also Influence wheat prices.

The greatest flood the history of the Spoon River Valley is tearing its way through Fulton county today, wrecking nearly every wagon and railroad bridge In its path, destroying farm buildings, drowning livestock and completely devastating thousands of acres 'of crops.

Hundreds of farmers forewarned of the wall of water sweeping down the valley are fleeing to the hills with tfielr household effects, many of them In row boats.

If tho un favorable weather continues, and It is the opinion of department officials that it Is likely to, since the season Is now far advanced, corn prices will go higher and will necessarily tend to hold wheat up also. If, however, tho weather for the next month should be dry and warm, the corn will come through, prices will fall and wheat certainly will go down also, in the opinion of crop statisticians. It is noted in this survey that northwestern farmers stand to gain least of all from the grain situation. The prices which have prevailed up to now have not been for them, since their harvest is only beginning. If the decline In wheat prices which began last week continues, say federal officials, they will be in practically the same situation as last year, when they received about 90 cents a bushel at the beginning of the crop movement.

If the corn crop falls to mature, the northwestern states will be hardest hit, for their spring plant- Ing season was late and frosts are bound to come early In that region.
