W. Pugsley. In reply to an inquiry by the President of the Omaha Grain Exchange, Mr. Pugsley sent the following telegram: “There is absolutely no truth in the statement that the Depart ment of Agriculture is secretly in vestigating either the Omaha or other grain exchanges for violat ing Federal laws by fixing the prices of wheat and other grains or for employing unfair docking methods. Furthermore, the Washington news agency that re leased dispatch referred to, de clines to furnish department with name of source which it describes as authoritative.” In accordance with the pro visions of the Grain Futures Act, reports are furnished the depart ment by grain exchanges and their members. However, Omaha is not a future trading market and, therefore, not subject to the Grain Futures Act. The Grain Futures Administration has rep resentatives on the most import ant markets where future trading is done and these representatives are studying the facts, but no secret investigations whatever are being made on any grain markets by the - Department of Agriculture. Agricultnrai Situation Shews little Change “Farm sentiment is mixed, with the South and East in better frame of mind than the Cora Belt,” says the United States De partment 'of Agriculture in the monthly review of the agri cultural situation just issued. Such agricultural depression as exists is still largely due to the disparity of prices of farm products and the prices of things which farmers buy, it is pointed out. It is not an easy season. The weather has been harassing and labor is scarce, the review states. The wheat belt is the sore spot. The present corn-hog relationship brings little advantage to farmers as a group since corn is not sold to the urban community but to other farmers. High priced corn in itself mainly adds to the cost of producing animal products. Prices paid to producers de creased about 1.4 per cent, during July, the department announces. On August 1, the index of prices was about 15.5 per cent, higher than a year ago, 25.6 per cent. higher than two years ago, but 19 per cent, lower than the average of the past ten years on August 1.

Every mile of the journey is a vision of scenic delight. From Trenton, N. J., the Pennsylvania Railroad follows the winding course of the Delaware River, whose bosom is dotted with verdant isles and shores fringed with majestic mountains, lofty cliffs and densely wooded slopes. The Delaware Water Gap is a colossal gorge hollowed out of the rock by the waters of the Delaware River, with Mounts Tammany and Minsie, towering as portals 1600 feet on either side. Here hotels and boarding houses provide abundant facilities for comfortable vacations for all classes. " Beyond with Stroudsburg as the gateway lie the Pocono Mountains, some 300 square miles of slopes and plateaus rising to altitudes of nearly 2000 feet, with splendid hotels, pure water, dry piney, invigorating air and with such delightful spots as Mt. Pocono, Buck^Hill. Tobyhanna, Cresco, Dingman’s Ferry, Bushkill. Buck Hill Falls, Pocono Summit and a myriad of others of equal merit, to conjure up pleasant memories and contribute to an indescribable atmosphere of relaxation and pleasure. A vacation in the mountains of the Pocono Region or at the Delaware Water Gap for the late summer or early autumn1, amid forest, stream or lake, will prove restful, invigorating, , delightful.
