Planning for the Mississippi Valley No more striking reversal of gov- ernment policy has ever been ob- served in this country than that which deals with the use of the na- tional land resources. The United States achieved a reputation through- | out the world as a “land of oppor-/ tunity” through the opening of the Mississippi drainage basin for settle- ment. Through the Louisiana pur- chase at the beginning of the 19th | century, the government acquired a) vast unsettled domain, and proceeded | to make the acquisition of farms as simple as possible. Toward the end! of the century, farm homesteads were | virtually given away by the federal government. Settlers were encouraged to till the; virgin soil for all it was worth. Rail- | roads were built into all sections to| carry away’the products of the farms) and to carry to the farmers the prod-| ucts of industry that would make farming yield more for each day of} labor than it ever had yielded before anywhere in the world. The forests and streams and mineral resources were exploited along with the soil until, according to Morris L. Cooke, chairman of the Mississippi Valfey| committee, a danger point has been reached. In an article in the New York) Times, Sept. 9, Mr. Cooke writes that “the now almost incalculable wealth of this tremendous erea, covering 1,235,000 square miles and inhabited yy 49,000,000 people, can not be saved xcept by careful, continuous and co- ordinated planning.” He asserts that| “without planning we face a disaster as certain as tomorrow's sunrise. With planning we can raise the) whole level of life in the Mississippi Valley and make it yield not only an increased supply of material goods] but those immaterial satisfactions without which human existence is meaningless.” The planning Mr. Cocke has in| mind is that of reforestation and flood control, in particular, with wa- ter power resources conserved and harnessed. In the last century, and until recently, private exploitation of | all these resources was encouraged.| Now the government proposes to put on a severe check—repair the soil damages done by erosion and destruc- tion of the forests and otherwise reg- ulate human activities.so as to per- mit the general re-enrichment of t! region, : Third Party Troubles Differences of opinion exist among those who would sponsor a third po- litical party in North Dakota, accord- ing to the most reliable informatio on the subject. ‘There are those who would attempt to blossom out with a full slate of candidates for state and national of- fices in an. attempt to make a big splurge. Others, more cautious, would | merely make the gesture by nominat- ing one or more candidates for con- gress, the law requiring that any| party have congressional candidates in order to give it legal standing and insure it a place on the primary elec- tion ballot in this state. Prospects of any well-known po- litical name appearing on the third party ticket, whether large or small, have gone glimmering. Overtures hhave been made to some present state Officers, out of the picture as a result of their primary defeat, but these have been rejected. Most noteworthy of those sought for this third ticket is 8. A. Olsness, insurance commis- sioner for many years and the only man who has held office continu- ously from the inception of the Non- Partisan League until now. Olsness has said “no,” has turned @ deaf ear to pleadings that he re- consider. Whatever the proposed 150 2.08 farms: have been sold for cash and demand for good land seems to for ‘cannot be taken away and hence is | still the most fundamental invest- | ment. | More probably, however, the desire ‘to acquire land is caused by current farm prices. Wheat well above the ; dollar mark, hogs at around seven 5.00/ cents, and cattle at eight and nine |cents present the brightest prospect | agriculture has had in the last decade. jit is small wonder that those in po- 2.00 | sition to do so are attempting to take; | advantage of it. Bank Credit Begins to Move For the week ending Sept. 5, mem- | ber banks of the federal reserve sys- jtem in Q1 leading cities had $114,000,- |000 more in outstanding loans, other than those on securities, than in the | Preceding week. These banks had | $216,000,000 less in reserves with their | federal reserve banks. The loans on securities, which decreased $36,000,000 during the week, are supposed to be | primarily for speculation, and the tother loans to be prémarily for busi- ness purposes, although pot neces- | sarily for manufacturing. | This great one-week increase in loans other than those on securities is all the more significant because increases, although mich smaller, had been Shown in each of the pre- ceding six weeks. On Sept. 5 the re- | porting banks had outstanding $230,- | 000,000 more in such loans than on {July 18, and only $121,000,000 less than a year ago. These loans had begun to decline in amount last No- vember, and the decline had contin- ued rather steadily until the latter part of July, 1934, The recent expansion in bank loans is viewed with hope by econo- mists who believe that business re- covery is impossible without a marked increase in loans by banks to business men. Such an increase in bank credit might be a result of business recov- ery, or one of its causes, or both cause and effect. Also, many believe | that bank credit expansion is the only significant form of inflation. The uninterrupted increase in bank leans except these on securities is not to be considered as conclusive. For) ene thing, an in¢rease is normal at} this time of year to prepare for pro- duction of Christmes goods, and to! finance agriculturg] transactions. The | Labor Day week in particular ustially | sees an increase in outstanding bank loans, partly because of the holiday,| partly to make up end-of-the-month | payrolls. But so large an increase as | that reported over the week ending last Sept. 5 is much more than sea-/| sonal. Even with these qualifications, the| steady increase in bank credit record- | ed in recent weeks cannot be regarded except as a good sign.

The Drouth and Farm Income (New York Herald+Tribune) The average person who has been reading since lest May and June of the march of the drouth over enorm- ous areag of the Mid-West and North- west and who no doubt has, ih con- Sequence, been entertaining serious misgivings as to its possible effec# on the fall recovery of business must have been pleasantly shocked and a little puzzled by the recent announcement of the Department of Agriculture that farm income in 1934, far from being below last year's would probably show an increase of approximately $1,000,- 000,000. ~ In its current monthly letter the National City Ban‘ dges much to ex- plain for the layman the reasons for the apparent contradiction in the farm picture. In the first place, it points out, the average of prices on the farm on August 15 was 20.8 per cent above a year ago. What is more significant and what comparatively few people realize, however, is that despite the political importance of the Western grain belt, in which the drouth did its most serious damage, economically it is generally consider- ably overrated. It will probably sur- prise those who are’ only casually in- formed on the sources of farm incomes to know that only about one-third of the total farm income of 1933 was derived from, the territory worst af- fected by the drouth—that js, the tier of states from the Dakotas and Mon- tana down to the Mexican border be- tween the Mississippi and the Rock- jes. Another third is derived from| the partially affected east-central states, and the femaining third from all the others, which were largely un- affected. “The agricultural importance of the Eastern industrial states,” we are reminded by the economist of the City Bank, “is frequently not realized. It may be news to some that farmers in the North Atlantic and New Eng- land states received as much for their milk, eggs and chickens in 1933 as all the wheat growers in the country re- ceived for their wheat. In the same year the dairy cattlemen of New York State alone received more for their milk than the hog ‘raisers of Iowa received for their hogs. Throughout, the depression fruits and vegetables, have put more cash into farmers’ {Pockets than all the grains combined or ali cotton and cottonseed combin- ed, and the fruit and vegetable crops this year are generaily good except in the heart of the drouth country. Six- ty per cent of the income from this Source comes from territory almost totally unaffected by the drouth.” To many persons, reading these fig- Signed letters pertgining to personal self-addressed envelope is enclosed. Address Dr. William Brady, AT THREE THE CHILD SHOULD; BE QUITE DRY i In Germany, according to Feer, bed-wetting*occurs chiefiy in psycho pathic children; that is, it is a func- tional neurosis. Nelken, another Ger- | man physician, regards involuntary. evacuation of the bladder during | sleep as due to “nervous irritability.” | Both meaning much the same thing. | Prolonged indifference; wrong men- tal attitude of parents or others: coddling; peor discipline; abnormal | excitement of the child especially late in the day or in the evening; per- mitting the child to have such stimu- habit as natural in the family be- cause some forbear had it; nagging the child about it, especially in the presence of others; these are some) of the factors which go to make the child “neurotic” or “psychopathit:” Dr. Ralph Hamil. in this country, found that the child with the right encouragement could refrain from) wetting the bed after a reasonable earnest endeavor. Just as you or I can awake at an unusually early hour | in the morning if we earnestly wish| to do so to keep an appointment. Many physicians regard bed-wet- ting as a fatigue neurosis. Or in popular parlance it is a nerve weak- ness, and so a system of training of the automatic nerve-muscle mechan- ism that controls the bladder is help- ful.

We are worried. We have always used raw milk... (Mrs. W.) Answer—We prefer it to the par-| boiled stuff at our house too—but we! use only raw milk from tuberculin | tested herd. If undulant fever pre-| vails in the community, it may be carried in milk. Of course par-boil- every hour in the first week, and after that every two hours, and the success of this plan depends on the faithfulness with which the schedule is adhered to in all cirqumstances. After a regular habit is established, then the child should be required to control the desire for five or 10 min- utes, now and then. The administration of mild nerve sedatives, such as the bromides, has been tried in some cases, but with Uittle benefit. More effective in strengthening the automatic neuro- muscular mechanism is the prolonged administration of calcium chloride or calcium lactate. Mix a rounded tea- spoonful of powdered acacia (gum arabic) with one ounce of calcium chloride or calcium lactate and dis- solve this in a pint of water. The dose for a child ¢hree to eight years of age is a teaspoonful, with any sweetened fruit juice or fruit juice beverage. This should be given be- fore meals twice @ day over a period of six or elght weeks. If the bed- wetting stops after a few weeks the calcium should be continued for a few weeks longer anyway. Some readers may notice that this is/the same remedy I’ often suggest for, hay fever, asthma, migraine and what have you. But please don’t be sarcastic about it. ‘I'm just a kind hearted old geezer trying to do the begt I can for everybody, and if my medicine doesn't cure anything, at least I'm pretty darn confident it will do no harm.
