Inc Weather News to be Speeded by New Robot Two Upper-Air Exploration Stations to Be Set Up This Fall, Dr. W. E. Gregg- Announces. I5y FRED O. BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 31 clI') Cold waves hound for the United States from the North Pole next w in- j ter will be reported several days ahead of their arrival under plans anmnmced by the weather bureau of a new system of upper-air explor- ation. Two upper-air exploration stations will be established, one at Burbank, Cal., and the other at Fairbanks, i Alaska, in September, Dr. W. R. Gregg, chief of the bureau, an-,tne nounced. j Radio - meteorographs r o b o t ; weather observers that broadcast! their findings from far above the earth to observers on the ground ! will be released daily with balloons at these two stations. The Fairbanks station will enable meteorologists to forecast several days earlier than heretofore the ap- j proach of a cold wave. The Burbank station will provide upper-air weath er news for forecasters all over the country. Great Obstacle Overcome "The radio-meteorograph promises to remove one of the greatest handi-J caps to weather forecasting the world over- the dearth of up-to-the- j minute information on the conditions: in the upper air on which to base forecasts." Dr Gregg said. The radio-meteorograph consists of miniature wireless set, which ; broadcasts the ""three elements responses made by sensitive to atmos pheric changes. Attached to each ele ment one responsive to pressure) changes, one to temperature changes and one to humodity changes is a tiny hand which moves as the ele ment moves. A fourth small hand, kept in mo tion by a special clockwork, passes over the three other hands, making contact as it goes. At each contact a signal is broadcast. A receiving set at a ground station picks it up. Time Intervals Translated Trained observers translate Die time intervals between the contacts caused by changing atmospheric con ditions and the regular contacts of the moving arm with fixed points in- to pressure, humidity and temper attire readings. j The radio-meteorograph observa-1 tions from Burbank and Fairbanks. ; all of their tools to a state examin going out by radio and teletype, will! ation before they could practice their reach forecast centers and airports ; trade in the state.

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 3 (UP) Governor William Langer, today or dered the state owned mill to buy all North Dakota wheat necessary to "defeat the ends of the grain gam blers" and to pay prices higher than the leading market. The governor threatened to buy all in the state, paying cash, until buy ers will pay what the grain is worth. The North Dakota wheat crop Is estimated at near 100.000 bushels. The Langer administration move is backed by the state bank at Bismarck which has more than 530,000.000 available. The state industrial commission will employ the state owned mill and elevator at Grand Forks. Added store space will be secured in Min neapolis and Duluth. "Grain gam-' biers have been robbing the North Dakota farmers for years, like vul tures flying over a corpse," the gover nor said. He charged that the grain dealers do not give the farmers and honest bushel. Many demanded as much as two bushels of the unusually light North Dakota wheat to make one sixty pound bushel. He referred to sharp breaks in prices in light wheat prices on the Minneapolis market. Governor Langer ordered the mill to buy only North Dakota wheat and from farmers. Purchase of carload lots to start at once. WILL BROADCAST ADDRESS WASHINGTON. Aug. 3 (UP) President Roosevelt announced a na t i o n a I broadcasting engagement which ma' give him an opportunity shortly after adjournment of congress to stnnd in the shadow of the Wash ington monument and defend Jiis in terpretation of the constitution and renew hiz demand for judicial reform ation.

S. constitutional sesqui-centennial com mission and the Good Neighbor League. Participation of the Good Neighbor League is noted as signi ficant as it has been frequently men tioned in discussion of possible poli tical realignment possibly caused from the supreme court fight. Well informed persons predicted that Mr. Roosevelt would stress for a 1938 showdown on proposals to ex pand the supreme court. It was be lieved that the president would sup port a constitutional amendment al tho not suited to his plans.

Nunemaker. the Laurel farm er, wrote that the stalk would have grown higher if it had not been for the grasshoppers. Cochran said, "If we had competed, we could have at least tied for first. I wish we had more of this corn." Nunemaker said the speciman took first place in a contest at Laurel.

A FOR SALE BY Murray Largest Corn Crop in Years is Anticipated From the Dakotas to Ohio Prospects Are for the Eiggest Corn Crop Since 1932. By T. W. KIENLEN (Copyright 1937 by United Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 2 (UP) Farmers from South Dakotas to Ohio prepared today to reap their biggest corn crop since 19I12. They hope to sell it, de spite low prices, for more money than they have got from corn in five years. Reports from nine major corn pro ducing states indicated their crops this year will be two to eight times greater than in 193C. The govern ment estimate on July 1 was around 2,572,000,000 bushels, nearly twice the national yield of 1,524,317,000 bushels in 1936. Continuous favorable weather throughout July, which usually finds the crop prospects more or less dam aged, brightened this year's bumper crop outlook so much that prices on the Chics go board of trade fell 25 to almost 50 cents a bushel lower than in 1936. Septerrber corn futures today were around SO cents a bushel; in 1936 they were $1.12. December corn to day was quoted at around C8 cents a bushel, 45 cents lower than last year and May vas in a similar position. The loss per bushel in the present market price of the new crop will be more than made up by increased pro duction and corn producers will have more money than at any time in the last five years. Illinois, which led these nine states in 1936 production, will lose its lead ership to Iowa, one-time queen of the corn-belt, if present estimates are maintained when the crop is cribbed. July 1 estimates by states and their 19 36 yields were: State 1937 Estimate 1936 Yield Iowa 452,476.000 212.240.000 Illinois 363,864,000 Nebraska 196,S30,000 Indiana 172.494,000 Minnesota -158,004,000 Ohio 140,616.000 Missouri 126,610.000 S. Dakota 50,480,000 N. Dakota 17,264,000 217,751,000 26,859,000 115.413,000 SS, 331. 000 121,605,000 40,032.000 8,446,000 2,530,000 Leslie M. Carl, federal statistician, said, the Iowa crop "continued to show improvement through July. The plants have a rich green color and there is not the yellowish tinge of drought jears." In Illinois conditions "were fair to excellent," according to numer ous observers. The Farmers' Co-operative Co., Worthingtcn, Minn., reported Minne sota conditions "never have looked better," and the Cargill company of Minnesota, reported "corn made re markable progress during July and now has reached its peak." It added, however, that a week or two of ad verse conditions "may cause consid erable damage." In North Dakota, Statistician Ben Kienholz reported an indicated in crease of 15,000,000 bushels. The weather bureau reported corn "making progress." in South Dakota with conditions "good to excellent, particularly in the southeast." Indiana prospects were "for the best crop in years" with the crop now well above normal height. G. L Enfield, Purdue university agron omist, said the prospect for a full crop is "above average at present." Ohio's crop suffered in some condi tions from excessive water, which delayed planting or hindered growth.
