Smith vs. Lowden While Al Smith was talking to the Liberty League Satur- @ay night and inferentially criticising the Roosevelt adminis- tration’s efforts to help the farmer, Frank Lowden, one of the elder statesmen of the Republican party, was announcing a farm plan of his own. The Lowden proposal is very much like that which is being Considered by congressional committees and which it is feared will be unconstitutional. Yet the former Illinois governor con- tends it can meet any test imposed upon it in court, The significant thing here is not the fact that Smith failed fo touch definitely on the farm situation. He was speaking to end for an organization of manufacturers which has no direct concern with the farmer. An eastern city man, he has no more natural interest in agriculture than a jackrabbit has in ice fream soda. Lowden, on the other hand, is a farmer. He has never been regarded as a radical and his words carry as much weight among Republicans as Al Smith’s do among Democrats, On this basis, it is easy to get the idea that the farm issue fs liable to be a sectional one with the east and its spokesmen taking the rather short-sighted view that what they want is Jow prices for food and no action by the government to solve the farm dilemma. On the other hand, almost everyone in the west, regardless of party affiliation, understands full well that something will have to be done and is trying to do it. The only exceptions to this rule are those who, for reasons of their own, take a syco- phantic attitude toward the financial big-wigs such as those on the roster of the Liberty League. Mr, Smith may or may not speak for the “sidewalks of - New York” but it is certain that he gave cold comfort to the egricultural sections of the nation. Our Growing Cities Jamestown, with the traditional enthusiasm of Associations of Commerce in estimating populations, estimates that some- thing more than 9,000 souls now live within that city’s boun- daries. This may be so—the purpose of this editorial is not to start an inter-city argument—but if it is so it proves anew the way in which the larger cities of the state are growing at the ex- pense of the smaller communities, for there is little likelihood that the total population of Stutsman county has increased in like proportion. We have seen the same process here in Burleigh county as good roads have spread and transportation has become easy. Whe village of Baldwin, once a thriving community, now is only B ghost of its former self. The same thing is true of other small centers in this county and elsewhere throughout the state. No fone is to blame for this trend. It is just a thing that is, It may or may not be a good thing for the country, but there seems nothing that can be done about it. Meanwhile, there is little fear in Bismarck that Jamestown will be able to capture the capital’s distinction of being the fast- pst-growing city in North Dakota. ; Prophecy and Realization Flour, we were told not so long ago, would drop sharply in ‘price, wheat would go up and the demand would enlarge if only | Behind othe Scenes Survey Gives AAA Good Idea of How to Work Out Acreage and Produc- tion Program ... How Changes Would Affect Different Areas... Wheat and Corn Crops Slated to Be Reduced ... More Hay Is One Objective. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington C ) Washington, Jan. 27.—The report of the “regional adjustment” survey of last year, in which agricultural ex- periment stations of 48 states collab- orated with scientists and officials of AAA and other department of agri- culture bureaus, is the “bible” of of- ficials now seeking to work out details of the domestic allotment-soll con- servation program with which they hope to replace the agricultural ad- justment act, knocked out by the U. 8. supreme court. 6 Purpose of that survey was rec- ommend systems and schedules of farming and ranching for various areas which would check soll deple- tion or erosion and at the same time stimulate farm practices which would lower production costs. Estimates were made of the effect of such program on production and the probable change in terms of acreage. On the basis of results, AAA seeks to judge the most desirable goals for total acrage and total volume of pro- duction of specific commodities, and, according to H. R. Tolley—prominent now in administration farm councils —must work out the best possible compromise ag between: 1, The need of farmers for ade- quate prices and income. 2. National consumption needs. 3. Condition of soils and various farm management problems in each region. * ke * ‘100 Areas Catalogued About 700 type -of- farming areas were catalogued. General recommen- dations for the big key areas are, in part, the following—and bear in mind that it’s proposed to pay famers for their share in making the changes: Corn Belt—Reduction in corn and oats; increase in soybeans, hay, and pasture; decrease in number of hogs; substantial increase in dairy cows and milk production; moderate increases in beef cattle and sheep. Resulting increase in hay and milk production would be especially marked in lake states region. South—Decrease of cotton acreage below normal level; increase in total crop land, pasture, and all southern feed crops except corn. . Considerable increase for all kinds of livestock production—chiefly to improve living Standards. Great Plains and Pacific Northwest Wheat Regions—Decrease in pre-AAA wheat acreage; removal of low-yield wheat land from production. In- creases of feed production in hard winter wheat, spring wheat, and Pa- cific Northwest areas. Range Region—Chiefly a slight de- crease in number of cattle from the low level prevailing in either 1930 or 1935, with increase of hay production to provide more winter feed. In a ten-year period it is believed that sta- bilization of cattle and sheep popu- lation in this area at or near present low levels would result in improve- ment of ranges, with a consequent in- crease in yield of meat and wool rela- tive to number of head. For irrigated areas, continued cultivation of about the present number of acres is recom- mended, Northeast — Probably desirable to stabilize agricultural production at about present level, More milk could be produced, but an increase isn’t rec- ommended in view of the market situation. xe * Acreage Changes Proposed Estimates as to acceptable goals of production have yet to be worked out, taking into account other factors, such as price and demand. But the posed, iva of production and soil conserva- lon, Crop land: 355,000,000 acres, against a normal 360,000,000.

ELECTROPLATING THE NASAL MEMBRANE Any one who suffers from hyperesthetic or vasomotor rhinitis, hay fever or nasal allergy (peculiar sensitivity to one or another foreign substance, which excites. profuse watering, running at nose, sneezing, stuffiness) knows how futile or how feeble ordinary local remedies are.

As a result of this act, the state joins the federal and county govern- ments in financing & permanent pen- sion plan for the needy aged to the state. Although this legislation will help to reduce some of the burden now being borne as direct relief, it is not an emergency act. The payment of old age pensions now becomes one of the permanent funotions of gov- ernment. If for any reason the size~ eble cantribution asamp coe government is making pro- gram should be withdrawn sometime in the future, it is more than likely that the cost would be shifted to the state. Pensions once granted are sel- dom reduced. ‘The bill which was finally approved by the state legislature probably. will not satisfy the extremists on either side of the pension question. Those who favor liberal pensions will criti- cize it for its niggardliness, and those on! the opposite side will doubt that its provisions have been made as strct as they should be. But as a compromise measure, it will have to ‘be admitted by most, it represents a careful beginning for the pension ex- periment in Minnesota. Under the pension law, which now goes to Governor Olson for his con- sideration, maximum benefits of $30 & month will be paid to needy persons distributed between the federal, state and county governments. The federal government pays 50 per cent, the state 33 1-3 and the county 16 2-3 per cent. One important fact with regard to the pension act passed by the legis- lature should be clearly understood. It is not a plan for distributing bene- fits to individuals indiscriminately re- gardless of need. Only those who can establish that they have little or no other means of support will benefit from the plan. In this respect it is not to be confused with the federai program of old age benefits which is {to be launched next year. Whether the provisions of Minne- sota’s old age pension plan, as they now stand, will remain unchanged may be open to question. But there is little reason to believe that once undertaken, a program of this kind will be abondoned completely. In view of that fact, the enactments of the current session of the legislature may appear to be meager, but they are by no means unimportant. —_——_ So They Say i Our country has been following step by step the road along which millions of people in foreign countries lost their liberties—Herbert Hoover. ee # If the Japanese navy is called upon. to fight the combined power of Amer- ica and Great Britain, I am confident we will win, even if the ratio is 10 to 1,—Vice Admiral Sankichi Takahashi. ee ‘We plead guilty of boondoggling: we've approved a project to prepare Cleveland Public Hall for the Repub- lican national convention—Harry L.

Memortes, in the young married set, are mot long for those who are not seen at parties, wherever the crowd gath- ers. It became generally accepted that Dana and Scott had stopped playing and invitations dwindled. Paula Long was the one who was most difficult to persuade that the young Stanleys were Mappy with- out so many invitations. Paula/n,.,: argued that social life was essen- tial “to get ahead.” Dana ‘and Scott compromised ‘by playing bridge once or twice a week. On rare occasions they accepted an invita- tion to a larger party because they were not sure Paula was entirely wrong when she insisted it was im- portant for Scott to be seen at smart functions. Secretly —and the thought brought a bitter thrill—Paula be- Meved Dana was a little jealous of by her. Paula came to the conclusion that Dana preferred staying at . home with Scott to exposing him to the attractions of other women —particularly herself. She assured herself that her only motive was @ desire to help Scott build himself up in the community and she re fused to face the truth—that she was. influenced by desperate lone iness and the urge to @nd some means of seeing the man she loved. + Dana, on the other hand, was glad when, as the days passed, she and Scott saw Paula less often. She didn't actively dislike Paula, who always seemed friendly, yet she couldn't bring herself to really like her. There was between them the intangible feeling of distaste of a person whose motives are frank and open for one who is sub- tle and secretive. Scott was busier than ever, though being busy wasn’t especial- ly remunerative. “It’s being busy with the right people that counts,” Dana decided sagely. She would mever have dared to voice euch a cynical thought to Scott. She had had one lesson. It was after the charity ball, when Scott had ex- plained that he had deserted her that evening to attend a “confer- ence.” the processing taxes were cut off.
