Wallace Estimates Wheat Ben- efits at $102,000,000; Corn- Hog, $165,000,000 ‘Washington, Feb. 7—()\—Govern- Ment economists said Thursday this country’s farmers are assured of gov- ernment checks for $422,230,000 this year. They estimated the sum may pass half a billion dollars. Under the AAA program which started May 12, 1933, more than 10 million checks for $629,514.037 had been Passed out by this largest of the new government alphabetical agencies as this month started. Secretary Wallace estimated 1935 benefit payments for reductions on five of the basic commodities as fol- lows: ‘Wheat _ $102,000,000; Corn-Hog $165,000,000; Cotton $94,230,000; Sugar $47,000,000; Peanuts $4,000,000. ‘The corn-hog total may vary ac- cording to the number of signers. An Official estimate on tobacco benefit payments also is delayed for this rea- son. However, reduction in acreage; removal for this year indicates the benefit will be below the 1934 total of $16,962,277 and a conservative rough estimate is said to be $10,000,000. Operation of the AAA has greatly swelled the personnel of the depart- ment of Agriculture. Before Secretary ‘Wallace took office March, 1932, there were 27,777 employes. Now the de- partment lists 39,710, an increase of 12,000. Ultimate petroleum resources of this country exceed 658,000,000,000 barrels, according to estimates. This figure would insure more than 700 years’ supply at the present and an- ticipated rates of consumption. A rock island in the heart of a @lacter near Valdez, Alaska, is being worked for gold quartz ore by two Alaska mine operators. ‘Testimony that the ni ietment “was coerced, forced by politi- vy depai cal pressure” to award cruiser contracts to major shipbuliders at high profits was given by Laurence R. Wilder, chairman of the board of Gulf Industries of Pensacola, Fla., a shipbuilding company, to the sen- munitions committee. (Associated Press Photo) Ice Dams to Divert Spring Floods Over Bottomlands A project unique to North Da- kota, involving construction of two artificial ice gorges in the Mouse River this month to divert spring flood waters over thous- ands of acres of meadowlands and guarantee livestock feed supplies, was announced Thursday. Harris Robinson, FERA state engineer, said the project has been approved by the federal emergency relief administration, and one ice dam will be built three miles southwest of Towner in McHenry county, with the second dam seven miles southwest of Towner.

Editor, Tribune: The phrase “Farming the Farmer” is certainly not given the proper OH, MOTHER-!M SO HAPPY! NO MORE. SCRUBBING FOR ME! SS COME I'LL SHOW YOU. 1M, USING RINSO NOW; IT SOAKS CLOTHES SO WHITE YOU WONT BELIEVE YOUR EYES WHITER, WITHOUT “YH SCRUBBING OR BOILING. Planned by FERA “We anticipate this project will point the way to the feasibility of constructing similar dams in many other places in the state in years to come as @ water cone servation measure.” Robinson said. He estimated that a rise of six to eight feet in the Mouse River will be sufficient to divert the Tunoff waters through diversion ditches already dug from the bottom lands. More than 10,000 acres of low land will be flooded Robinson said that engineers point out that where natural ice gorges have spread spring flood waters over bottom lands of the rivers that excellent feed crops have almost inevitably followed. Helmer Smette, McHenry county work director for the FERA will be in charge of the project. meaning when it is applied to the ai Bis- any of us to squirm and say some- thing when anything interferes with or jeopardizes the arrangements which we have found to be advan- tageous to us in making our living. The Tribune has been in the pow tion so long it has apparently be- come blinded to the fact that it is guilty of this offense which it at- tempts to fasten upon others. ‘Who is farming the farmer? The grain trade with its closing out suc- tion of farmers’ crops; the banking profession with its monopoly on the |]issue of money and collecting inter- -lest therefore; the government itself with all its activities to help and en- courage the farmer to produce with- out at the same time making ar- rangements so that it is profitable for him to do £0; the A.A.A. with its scarcity principle of raising prices; the Greater North Dakota associa~ —|tion with its idiotic propaganda that all North Dakota needs is rain (most of the state had plenty of rain in 1932—also the lowest income in its history); most of the newspapers of jthe state because they interpret as normal and proper the present economic position of the farmer, which is that they buy all of their supplies in such a way that the prices they pay are fixed to return {a profit to others and they sell all they produce in a closing out auc- tion with no consideration of either Profit or cost of production. This is jWhat constitutes farming the farmer. William Langer has had the sup- port of intelligent farmers because he has publicly and forcefully cham- pioned reforms to put them in a better economic position. The polie ticlans and others who are opposing Langer are so concerned with their own private interests that they don't seem to even know what it is all conditions which I tioned but have openly opposed changing them. There are politicians have just men- {on both sides. It shows good sense for the farmers to support the group that is in favor of a more equitable adjustment of their economic affairs.

Local Dealers to Be Patronized In Purchase of Materials, Says Official Repairs and improvements are Planned on a wide-spread scale cov ing farms in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and © North Dakota held {ff 7 by the Federal Land Bank years, the state- ment says, the now embarked upon 8 program for 1935 which will Tepresent a sub- stantial increase G. Gordhamer over expenditures of the previous two years. A repair department is being organized and a definite policy has been decided upon that will keep the land bank in step with the adminis- tration’s desire to increase employ- ment and legitimate buying. To Patronize Local Dealers Local dealers will be patronized as far as possible in the purchase of ‘such materials as lumber, cement, brick, paper, paint and other items. Outlining the project and some of the benefits that are expected to flow from it, Geo. 8. Gordhamer, execu- tive vice-president and treasurer of the bank, said: “The Federal Land bank believes in the betterment of farming in every way open to it, and believes in back- ing up that theory with practical works. We want the farms, which we are forced through circumstances to acquire from time to time, to go again into the hands of farmers, and when they do so, we want them to be sat- isfactory to the buyers, farms that the was spent for this purpose. We want. our farms to be attractive and home- like to tenants as well as buyers. The repair of buildings, such as putting on new roofs or porches, painting up, removing unsightly and useless struc- tures, and even erecting new addi- tions or new buildings in some cases, helps to improve the appearance and desirability of the neighborhood. Reduction of Farm Surplus Aim of Act To avoid possible trouble with con- stitutionality, the senate committee on agriculture and labor has pre- pared several amendments to a sen- ‘ate proposal for creation of a co- operative agricultural association. ‘The bill will come to the floor of the senate Thursday with recommen- dations for passage as amended. Provisions of senate bill 52 as amended would “create the North Dakota commissioners of the feder- ated agricultural association” provid- ing for cooperation with other sur- Plus producing states. The measure would create in the department of agriculture and labor @ board—three members to be ap- pointed by the commissioner of ag- riculture and Jabor—to present the Plan to other states to form a group of federated states for the mutual benefit and protection of the pro- ducers’ of agricultural commodities having a community of interest. the senate and house committees on agriculture and labor, the amendment reads. Under the original proposal, intro- duced by Senators Herman Thorson of Adams, E. E. Green of Stutsman, and G. F. Drew of Ramsey, the board would be appointed directly by the senate and house agricultural com- mittees. High Court Holds Acting Gov- ernor Had Right to Remove ‘at Any Time’ North Dakota's tax commissioner’ is subject to removal “at any time” by the governor, the state supreme court held Wednesday, in deciding the ouster action against J. J. Weeks, in- stituted by Former Governor Ole H. The court also held the “acting' governor has the same power to re- move the tax commissioner as that conferred by the governor.” The court affirmed the decision of the Burleigh county district court, which heard the action originally. Olson started his action against ‘Weeks shortly after he assumed of- fice as governor. Olson had appoint- ed Lyman Baker as tax commission- er and ordered Weeks to surrender the office. Weeks refused to vacate. A mandamus action was started in the name of Baker, and Weeks began @ certiorari action testing the powers of Olson to act in removal. ‘Both were submitted to the court to- Fred Jansonius held Olson. With the incumbency of Former Governor Thomas H. Moodie, Baker resigned to make way for the ap- Pointment of I. J. Moe of Valley City, who has filed his oath of office, but It was expected the Moe appointment would not be presented. Although the court upheld Olson's .ouster action against Weeks, it left status of the office still in doubt, in view of Moodie’s removal, and fail- ure of senate approval. In the mean- time, Weeks continued to hold office.
