These, it was assured, would be promptly re- placed by purchase of an equal quan- tity’ of wheat. Furthermore, the board promised the sales program would be so man- aged as not to depress price move- ments. Immediate sales “even of those lim- ited amounts” were not contemplat- ed, the board said, at the present {range of prices. At the same time, however, the farmer was warned that ultimate! Profitable wheat production rests with him. Citing an increase in the sur- jplus, the board urged as the “only final solution of the wheat growers’ difficulty .... a sharp reduction in the forthcoming wheat plantings.” Say Reduction Needed “Without such reduction there is ttle hope of any long-term continu- ed profitable wheat production in the United States in competition with |mew wheat countries abroad,” the board asserted. “With such action there would be an immediate reflec- tion in increased prices of this year’s crop.” A defense of the federal agency's activity was contained in the state- ment, which said in part: “The situation today would have | been clear and prices at much higher levels had the recommendation of & year ago been more generally fol- lowed.” Nevertheless, it added, “the pur- | chase of wheat from the 1929 and the 1930 crops has successfully, protected American agriculture from the world- wide panic in agricultural prices, and gave it an opportunity to readjust it- self without the enormous losses and bankruptcy which would have result- ed from the precipitant fall in prices which took place elsewhere.

Of the 315 enactments which re- ceived gubernatorial approval, a ma- jority became operative today, since July 1 is the effective date unless the legislature specified otherwisé. Many laws, however, deal with technical matters or provide appro- priations and are regarded as having little effect on the daily life of citiz- ens. Others deal with vital problems to which the citizen must give im- mediate thought. Possibly the first to feel the effect of the new legislation was the person who purchased gasoline. The leg- islature increased the tax from three cents to four cents a gallon and oil filling stations must account to the state auditor for an extra penny on) each gallon of gas sold. Hail Insurance Change An important change is made in the hail insurance law, an act of the legislature eliminating the compul- sory feature of state hail insurance and the listing of all land by asses- sors. Farmers who desire the insur- {ance must make application for it and are not compelled now to with- draw their land from the listing as under the old law. Cigarette smokers and dealers be- come subject to a more stringent) law which makes the buyer of un- stamped cigarettes guilty of a mis- demeanor. Packages must be stainp- led with the three-cent tax and the purchaser is called on to see that the dealer discharges his obligation to isecurely affix a stamp. Speed Limit Insreased Motorists may step on the gas for & speed of 50 miles an hour on the open highway under an amendment to the speed laws. They must ob- serve, however, the provisions which call for @ lesser speed in many in-| stances, such as 20 miles an hour! {when passing a school during recess | jor while children are leaving school.! ‘The limits set by the old law are re-| tained except on the open highway.!

Potato dealers are affected by an! act providing for uniform and com- \pulsory labeling of all potatoes shipped from the state. This law) permits state and federal inspection jof potatoes and other produce. Al- | though it does not make the grading of potatoes compulsory, it provides for labeling as to whether the stock) jhas been graded, and if so this must | be specified.
