Flood, who is with the publicity di- vision of the AAA, is here from Washington to check up on certain of its activities. He listed payments made or soon to be paid as follows: Wheat checks already paid, $10,- 000.000. Wheat checks to be paid soon on ‘the Jast installment for this year and the first installment for next year, $14,000,000. Corn-hog payments due soon, $2,- Payments in the pig and sow pur- ad campaign last spring, $1,015,- Payments for cattle under the drouth-purchasing program, §7,900,- 000 on Sept. 25 and now over $8,000,- 000. Reviewing the operation of these various activities, Flood said premi- ‘ums were paid in the hog and cattle buying drives for animals which the farmers would have been unable to feed. In addition to paying more than could have been obtained on the open market, he said, the farmer benefited since he received some of the money. Had it been sold on the open market creditors would have gotten it all. Flays Eastern Critics Warning his hearers that if these benefits and the system under which they are paid is to continue the farming areas must stand fast, Flood said intelligent eastern businessmen have no understanding of the AAA Program and no appreciation of what it means to business and industry. ‘Their consideration of the agricul- tural problem is largely limited to mouthing such catch phrases as “starving the country into prosper- ity” and “taxing business to pay the farmer,” he said. Commenting on the charges that wheat benefit payments are being paid now in an effort to influence the coming elections, Flood asserted that the money should have been Paid several months ago and not all of the checks will go out before the election. Lack of facilities under the heavy burden of work have caused the delay, he said. The importance of the benefit pay- ments is illustrated, he said, by the fact that the $14,000,000 in wheat benefits to be received soon is more than North Dakota's entire tax bill, including those of school districts and local subdivisions. He asked the clubmen to consider to what depths business would have fallen had it not been for the AAA payments. Even the man who got a good crop is better off, he said, for agreeing to cut his acreage since the benefit Payment has meant a bigger return than would have been obtained from ‘the acreage abandoned. Farmers Receive All The benefit payment has been par- ticularly valuable, he said, since the farmer has received nearly all of the 30-cent processing tax, the only de- duction being ® cent or two for ad- ministration. In. North Dakota's big wheat counties, he said, the cost will | be about a cent a bushel and this money is paid to local residents. When wheat raises 50 cents on the | market, he asserted the farmer} doesn't get the entire benefit since marketing costs usuaily rise with it. Pointing out that $1.09 if the Parly | Price for wheat, Flcod said North | Dakota, if the benefit payment is added to the receipts for the 23,- 000,000 bushel crop raised this year, 4s receiving $1.05 a ‘bushel. However, it did not all go-to. farmezs who had a crop but much of it went to farmers who otherwise ‘would have received nothing. Contrasting the present situation with that of past years, he said, the Present short erop, pius the benefit payment, is worth more dollars than the 1932 crop which wes five times An answer was given to those who think it terrible for agriculture to cut its production. It wes that industry had cut production first, From 1929 to 1933, he said, index figures had fallen from 135 to 35 on’ automobile production, 130 to 31 for iron and steel, 102 to 39 for coal and 115 to 53 for textile protiucts. Th2 general Production drop for’ ‘manufactured Products, he said, was from 119 to 63, Acreage Cut Came Late Agriculture, he asserted, did not begin to cut production until 1934, after terrific surpluses had been ac- cumulated, and then the reduction was only from 109 to 104. Due to the AAA, he said, agricul- tural income rose this year to a level higher than the average for the last five years and this despite the great- est drouth in history. Lashing out at those who would brand adjustment of production as a Democratic political maneuver, Flood said it was advocat- by the farm board in 1930 and 1931 but that many farmers, feeling their neighbors were going to reduce, increased their acreage so as to get a Uttle the best of-it. The present sys- tem, he said, insures the reduction by making it profitable, & Picturing the reasons for agricul- ture's plight, Flood pointed to 40,009,- 000 acres put to the plow during the war and not since taken. out of cul- market for 15,000,000 reduction in the number and mules and the loss of It hit the wheat , because we teed to ushels ho .|C.

Mainbocher’s New Idea Goiiapse Not issue in Mail Fraud Charges Chicago, Oct. 16—(7)—All hands agreed Tuesday, in a conference out- side Federal Judge James H. Wilker- son’s court room, that the depression will be the defense of Samuel Insull, Sr., to the mail fraud charges against him. But Insull, his son and his defense attorney split over whether President: Hoover's name will be brought into it and particularly over whether In- sull will be pictured as a martyr to the Hoover re-employment drive. Insull, Sr., had been quoted as say- ing that he would tell of the big con- ference of industrialists held by the Hoover administration in 1930 and of spending large sums later to carry out this tdea. “I don't recollect saying that,” said the utilities executive. “Sure you did!” declared his son, Samuel, Jr. “You said it might be part of the defense.” Insull, Sr., still couldn’t remember. “All right,” said the younger Insull, Stalking away, “then I’m a liar!” Floyd E. Thompson, attorney for the two of them, stepped amidst the re- Porters. “Now put it like this,” he said soothingly. “No one’s going to hang anything on Hoover. But of course, Mr. Insuli—I assume—was influenced by the appeals to spend money which were made by President Hoover and the secretary of the treasury. “And even before that,” he added, “by President Coolidge. These may all come in just to show the trend of the times. I hadn't given any thought to the re-employment conference, but i may be @ tiny, inconsequential part of the defense.” There, except for comment from one of the prosecutors, the issue halt- ed.

R. Shumway, @ member of the national wheat ad- visory board, he said here Tuesday. A surplus of 35,090,000 bushels ex- isted in Oregon last year, he said, and it had been expected to export it with the help of a government sub- sidy but the longshoremen’s strike tied up ships and only 27,000,000 bush- els was disposed of. With this year’s crop, he said, an exportable surplus of at least 20,000,- 000 bushels exists and must be dis- Posed of if it is not to disrupt other wheat markets. ‘When the price on the West coast gets 15 cents below that at C! he said, it becomes profitable to ship wheat through the Panama Canal to eastern ports and this results in a Price reduction for other wheat. The government will not continue the subsidy for foreign shipment when feedstuffs are being imported but has agreed to give Oregon pro- ducers a bonus of 10 cents a bushel to help send the wheat into the drouth area for use as feed. Shumway estimates the cost in Ore- gon at 65 cents a bushel. If the gov- ernment gets a special rate for ship- ment, as he believes it can do, it can be brought into North Dakota to sell for about 91 Cents a bushel. This would include cost of cracking, freight, bid and handling charges at both ends.
