(BOGE SAYS SEVERE CROP CUT NOW ONLY: HOPE FOR AGRARIAN Points to Case of Walnut Grow- ers, Who Control 90 Per Cent of Their Crop New York, Feb. 23.—(#)—The farm- ers’ only salvation, in the opinion of Alexander Legge, whose pending re- tirement from the chairmanship of the Farm Board has been announced, is “drastic restriction of production.” “The government,” Legge will say in the issue of “The Country Home” to be published Tuesday, “has backed the farm board with a fund of half a billion dollars, and the question is, ‘What has the Farm Board done with that money, and what does it hope to do for the farmer?’ “For 62 months without interrup- tion the visible suply of wheat in this country has been greater than it was in the same month of the preceding year. In July 1926, the surplus was around 100,000,000 bushels. That was too much. But since then it has grown steadily until in July, 1930, it was 274,000,000 bushels. Wheat Market Hopeless “The world market for American wheat is pretty hopeless. American farmers, to sell their wheat abroad now, would have to accept 20 cents Jess than they are getting at home. The only thing that is keeping for- eign wheat from coming into. this country now is our tariff of 42 cents. “Our farmers must lower their costs of production on wheat and corn like the men with the steel fac- tories atid the automobile factories. But they also must adjust their pro- duction to the potential demand. The farmer has never done that..... “It seems to be hard for the farm- er to realize he can make more by raising less, Of course, if the price is the same he will make more money when he raises 1,000 bushels than when he raises 800 bushels. But if he raises 1,000 bushels instead of 800 when 900 :s all he can sell the price won't be the same. “Look at the potato crop. The market can normally consume 400,- 000,000 bushels. If the farmers raise 10 per cent less than that, they get a high price and make money. If they raise 10 per cent more they have to accept a ruinous price.

The plants seemed to do as well in the cellar as in the open summer garden, some of the stalks reaching a height of two feet. SENATE SUPPORTS Recommending Passage of .

The strategy board, with almost all of its 16 members present, at closed sessions was reported to have agreed upon the necessity of the dry forces before 1932, with a co-ordi- nation to eliminate overlapping effort, but some leaders were said authorita- tively to object to a too close-knit or- ‘remains the most discussed possibility AY, FEBRUARY 28, 1931 IRASKOB WET PLANS | WILL BE CONTESTED | BY DEMOCRAT DRYS; Ritchie and Lewis | Roosevelt, Foremést Presidential Possibilities | Washington, Feb. 23.—(4)--What- | ever intentions Chairman Raskob may or may not have in regard to ining up the Democratic nationai; committee on the wet side of the pro- hibition fence, dry members of the group are set for an aggressive try at squelching any such plan. The committee will meet here March 5, at the chairman's call. Fu- ture policies he announced, wil! form a topic for discussion. Rumors have been current a resolution is being framed to push this steering group of the party off the prohibition fenee. Some of the dry Democrats on capitol hill have been roused to & fever heat of activity. Sunday Sen- ator Morrison of North Carolina, baby member of the senate but no new- comer to national politics, asserted his group had sufficient votes to de- feat any wet-resolution. Other Dem- ocratic leaders in congress are try- ing to head off the issue by having the rumored resolution sheived. Senator George, Georgia, has joined this group, asserting the committee has no right to form party policies, a function he holds belongs to the na- tional convention. This view has been communicated to the chairman. Incidentally the active drys count upon the support of Senator Robin- son of Arkansas. While prohibition engrossed most of the agitated Democrats, one, Rep- resentative Hull of Tennessee, came forward Sunday with an expression of concern that an undercover effort |was impending to give the party com- mittee a high tariff program. The impending meeting has brought out a crop of presidential candidates. Most of those being boomed are far from dry. Governor Roosevelt of New York here, but the names of Governor Ritchie of Maryland, and Senator- elect James Hamilton Lewis of Illi- nots, are among those being advanced by friends.

She died here Sunday after a brief illness. i LONGER WORKDAY BILL IS EXPECTED: House Scoffs at Resolution Seeking Longer Hours for Public Employes A house concurrent resolution peti- tioning heads of state and county of- fices to require eight hours work daily | from their employes was assailed on the fleor of the house Saturday. W. E. Dyer of Slope county Non- partisan, attacked the resolution as a foolish move. “Department heads are elected to office as presumably capable officials and to pass such a resolution by the legislature seems | unnecessary to me,” Dyer said. | L. L. Twichell, Cass, Independen’, leader, said he agreed with Dyer, but if the legislature is so insistent to rule on this question, it should pass 8 law to that effect. Gordon Cox of Burleigh declared this method of attempting to require state employes to work eight hours was “absurd and nonsensicai.” Members of the appropriations committee, which introduced the res- olution, defended their stand and said if the house would approve such a bill they would be glad to introduce it, provided they were given permis- sion by the delayed bills committee. The resolution was re-referred to the committee, with the understand- ing that a bill requiring all state and county employes to work eight hours a day, except Saturday, would be forthcoming. i Prince Coffee Shop | Will Open Tuesday Mrs. R.

The measure will be placed on the calendar for final action this week. A-long list of amendments, many of them technical, was offered by the cenneles and approved by. the sen- ate. Senator Walter Bond, Ward county, explained to the senate the measure was drawn at the recommendation of the voluntary code commission ap- pointed by Gov. George F. Shafer two years ago. The banking committee had studied the bill closely for the last 10 days. Pointing out that there were 211 state banks, with 2,000 to 2,500 stock- holders in the state, Bond declared pretty well balanced with demand, and prices have resisted the decline. ‘There has been overproduction of sheep and prices have collapsed. “Varions plans have been offered to handle the export of the so-called exportable surplus of wheat. Well, my suggestion is to abolish it. What’s the use of raising an exportable sur- plus when there is no place to export it profitably? ‘The farmers must bring about a condition where American farmers will no longer raise wheat for export “How are we going to do that?

Senator Bond gave notice he will seek to amend the bill when it comes ;to the floor to change the provision pertaining to the assessments on bank stock that can be made against share- holders and the amount and the number of times the assessments can be made by the directors. “The bill provides,” Senator Bond said, “that where a stockholder is un- able to pay his assessment, his shares may be sold and how the proceeds, if any, may be applied. If no sale is made the corporation can proceed by law to collect through the courts, and even though subsequently the stock- to the double assessment as provi by the present and this new law.” “I wish to give notice that when this bill comes up for third reading, I will offer an amendment to provide that the assessment shall not exceed 100 per cent the first year and not to exceed 25 per cent each succeeding ear.” Under the bill, the percentage any bank may loan is cut from 15 to 10 per cent. Among amendments attached in committee is one providing that any loan made prior to the taking effect of the act, which was not excessive when made, and any renewal of such loan for the same or @ lesser amount, shall not be deemed contrary to the provisions of the act.
