Let’s Be Realistic More interesting even than the candidate, to the farmers of this and other states, will be the action of the Republican national convention on the question of the farm problem. Until a few years ago many leaderss of the party refused to acknowledge that there was such an issue. The election of 1932, with its revolt in the west, was convincing enough for even the thickest head. Proposed solutions will range from that of Herbert Hoover for a direct subsidy to farmers, made at Topeka, Kan., during the winter, to the suggestion of an eastern leader that the con- vention admit that there is such a thing as the farm problem without proposing to do anything specific about it. The real danger, however, lies in the possibility that the convention will attempt to weasel its way out of the farm issue dilemma by putting in a plank which reads well but means nothing. If it does it is not to be expected that such a stand will contribute to the winning of the election. The farmer has had enough of the substitution of pretty stones for bread. Most likely of the weaseling methods will be a declaration in favor of reopening the agricultural export market and a pointing to this as the best procedure for helping the American farmer. The party will hurt itself if it resorts to any such subter- fuge because the farmers will not be deceived by it.

Big Corporations Still to Get Big Payments. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, June 10.—The question of what's likely to happen to the sharecropper and the tenant farmer under the new farm program has been given plenty of thought and consideration. The conclusions are not very definite, because there are factors operating for and against that class of farmer. Generally speaking, the outlook for many sharecroppers is just some more hard luck. Sut authorities still dis- agree as to whether there was any considerable displacement or change in the status of non-landowning farmers under the old AAA programs, although they concede that many such farmers were deprived of any "| share in benefit payments. As is frequently the case, the gov- ernment has no facilities for comput- ing the amount of human damage. More cotton will be raised in the south under the soil conservation program than under the AAA and the compulsory Bankhead cotton act. That presumably will mean more employment in the cotton fields than recent production levels have re- quired. * * * More Cash for Croppers AAA regulations also call for allot- ing of 25 per cent of soil conserva- tion payments to share-croppers, in- stead of 15 per cent, as under the old schedules. The share specified for the tenant who furnishes his own animals and tools is 37'2 per cent. But many croppers will be cheated of their money. as many were in the crop re- duction programs. (It was estimated by officials that they received an average of 11 or 12 per cent of bene- fit_payments, instead of 15 per cent). Boosting of the croppers’ share to 25 per cent is also likely to cause some planters to eliminate sharecropping agreements and transform the crop- pers into day laborers. The volume of benefit payments will be smaller in most crops under the new program, and that again presumably will provide an induce- ment to landlords to turn sharecrop- Pers into laborers.

Cannon, in his “Bodily Changes in Pain, Hunger, he and Rage” (Appletons) tells how emotion with repression or suj the natural or primitive impulse to action, produces glycosuria, that is, causes sugar to be excreted in the urine. This has been experimentally observed many times in animals. Four out of five students, all normally without suger in the urine, had glycosuria after a hard examination; only one of the nine showed’ any sugar in the urine after an easier examination. Cannon and Fiske found sugar in the urine of twelve of the twenty-five members of the Harvard ‘university football squad immediately after the final and most exciting game of the season. Five of the squad who had sugar in the urine were substitutes who had not played in the game. One excited spectator— the only one examined—had sugar in the urine after the game. I dare say that had the five substitutes run each other some races or walked a mile or two or carried on some brisk setting-up exercises or done some vigorous dancing during the progress of the game, they would have remained sugar- free. Great grief or prolonged anxiety or worry are regarded as factors of diabetes. Diabetes is a disease of people who live rather by their wits than by the use of their muscles. Patients under treatment for diabetes always get along better if they can and do get a reasonable amount of exercise every day. ‘Two miles of oxygen on the hoof, once, twice or three times 8 day, is as fine medicine for the patient with diabetes as it is for the patient with incipient cardiovascular disease or high blood pressure—provided his phy- sician finds no complication which contraindicates exertion. Emotion or excitement of any kind without its natural reaction, motion, is always injurious and should be considered a chief factor of premature senility or physical breakdown in middle life. Attending the ball game or the races or a show or playing bridge or poker or reading is excellent recreation or diversion for any man or woman who dues honest physical labor or plays hard at anything for a living. It is bad medicine. for the tired businessman; and equally bad for the business or pro- fessional woman. One who lives by his wits, pn his nerve as the saying is, needs actual physical work or play, actual muscular exercise by way of diver- sion and recreation and restoration. He or she must get in and play the game, not sit and watch others do it. This is the way to conserve youth. All through the hard day at the office or store there are moments when, if you have the mind to do so, you can at least take advantage of a kind of vicarious action—go into your dance, or do a few brisk calisthenic exercises, or roll yourself a string of somersaults, or do some shadow boxing or run up and down a few flights of stairs—anything to absorb some of the surplus erergy released by emotion and so ease the strain on your adrenal glands and your arteries and things. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pasteurized Milk Would you advise whether we should buy pasteurized milk at 12 cents a quart or certified milk at 16 cents a quart, both having the same butterfat content. We have two children, three and six years of age, both healthy. ... (Mrs, G. E. K.) Answer—The pasteurized milk is healthful enough and 25 per cent more economical. Sometimes one can get fresh raw milk from a neighbor quite cheaply; bring this to a boil for a minute and it is as safe and healthful as any other milk. Sometimes skim milk may be had at a nominal price; skim. milk has the same nutritive value as buttermilk, that is, just half the nutritive value of fresh whole sweet milk. It is silly and extravagant to discard skim milk as unsuitable for human consumption. Bad Breath I find the use of the 1% chloramine solution, as you suggested, fine for bad breath (mouthwash three or four times a day), but one using chlor- amine solution should be warned not to leave metal instruments in it, for it will discolor them . . . (R. M.G.) Answer—Thank you. Chloramine tablets may be had at druggists. One dissolved in a glass of water makes a solution for mouthwash, (Copyright, 1936, John F.

Ten years ago Italy and Germany had no tariffs on wheat and France had a tariff of 30 cents a bushel. NOW the tariffs are: France, $1.50 a bushel; Italy, $1.65 a bushel, and Germany, $2 a bushel. During the last three years these nations have absorbed only about six per cent of European wheat imports. THEY DON’T WANT OUTSIDE WHEAT. THEY WANT TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT IN THIS RESPECT. Each nation is trying to preserve its own home market for its own farmers just as we have been trying to help our farmers. UNLESS THESE TARIFF WALLS CAN BE LOWERED— AND WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEM—IT IS NON- SENSE FOR ANYONE TO OFFER EXPORTS TO THESE NATIONS AS A WAY OUT OF THE AGRICULTURAL DILEMMA. Add to the tariff handicap the fact that each of these nations is doing its utmost to increase farm production and the problem becomes intensified. Reclamation projects now under way in Germany alone will add 3,000,000 fertile acres to its farm land and of this area 600,000 acres will be ready for the produc- tion of food within the next two years. As a substantial factor in improving the American farm situation, therefore, the remedy of increasing exports is stopped before it can get started. Because men in groups usually show less intelligence than the same men when working as individuads, it is sincerely to be hoped that the Cleveland convention will assign a very few in- formed men to write its farm plank. If constructive applica- tion could be made of the principles laid down by Mr. Hoover in his Topeka speech the party would be doing itself more good than if it permits those who have just realized that there is a farm problem to have a hand in the job. The RFC Record The part which federal financing plays in the current American scene is indicated by the announcement of R. B. Cum- mins, state director of the National Emergency Council, that $11,920,834.32 of the $6,416,132,390 loaned by the Reconstruc- tion Finance corporation has come into North Dakota from Feb. 2, 1932, to Feb. 29, 1936. Of the North Dakota total, $6,896,636.42 went to banks and trust companies, (including receivers, liquidating agents and conservators) building and loan associations, insurance compan- ies, joint stock land banks and agricultural credit corporations. Of this total $6,364,563.05 has been repaid. Of $21,000 loaned to industrial and commercial business only $200 has been repaid. Of $401,009.90 loaned on the assets of closed banks and trust companies $47,791.79 has been repaid. Of $20,000 loaned on preferred bank stock and $2,390,500 in subscriptions to preferred stock of banks and trust compan- ies, $468,500 has been repaid. Of $1,594,000 in purchase of capital notes and debentures of banks and trust companies, $145,000 has been repaid. The sum total of these figures shows that 59 per cent of the loans made have been repaid and the others are alleged to be in good condition. In addition to its loans, the RFC made $597,688 available for relief and work relief in North Dakota, this money having once again creating the probability that planters will prefer to have them handled at necessary intervals by hired help. * *% 8 Want 15 Cents an Hour The economic position of agricul- tural laborers and the reason so many of them seek relief rolls when not working appears to be explained by the fact that those engaged in the current —cottoncroppers’ strike in three Arkansas counties are demand- ing a pay increase from a present 714 cents to 15 cents an hour. This strike, although believed to be foredoomed to failure, has ments in Washington and was even brought up at a cabinet meeting. inclined to shiver at the thought that her department might have to negotiate any strike settlement which would set a wage as low as 15 cents an hour, nevertheless suggested at the cabinet meeting that she would like to send a representative into the strike area. Vice President Garner objected. on the ground of political considerations. “Federal intervention” would dis- Please the planters, he said. ee Terrorism Charged Meanwhile, the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union and the National Committee on Rural Social Planning, which backed the strike along with other organizations, have charged terrorism and peonage. Asked by the department of jus- tice to lay the charges before the U. 8. district attorney at Little Rock, they pointed out that this official was himself a large plantation owner. Department of agriculture officials feel the widespread distress among sharecroppers could be alleviated if landlords and tenants were able to work out a. system whereby share- croppers would raise their own vege- tables, chickens, and other food, which few do. ee % Big Money to Big Firms Large agricultural corporations, some of which Senator Vandenberg showed to be receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in AAA benefit payments, will continue to collect proportionately if they participate in the soil conservation act program. A couple of sugar corporations which were paid more than a mil- lion dollars won't do so well, as sugar payments to all will be much lower. Secretary Wallace publicly asked congress to suggest any way in which the law could be administered with- out paying big farm corporations on the same acreage basis as ordinary farmers. But no one came through with an idea. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

Being a candidate, he is himself not a delegate. It is not likely the rules would be suspended to give him a chance to argue his platform ideas, but, on the other hand, there is a determined effort in the Landon camp to placate the senator from Idaho if possible. As the convention opened, the situ- ation may be summed up as follows: Governor Landon has the nomina- tion assured at this writing. This is because the preliminary work done in his behalf has been thorough and ef- fective in every respect. A “stop Landon” movement can only come out of a platform row. It cannot arise out of combinations or coalitions, for thus far the opposition to Landon is uncoordinated and heterogeneous. The urge to achieve a victory in No- vember supersedes all other consider- ations. Hence, a manager for @ can- didate in opposition to Landon hesi- ‘tates to do anything openly to break down the Landon prestige here. The only chance for cleavage is on principles. Here the stage is set for a platform fight, but the Landon man- agers appear shrewd enough to meet that kind of tactics. If anything, Mr. Borah is helping the Landon cause by his fight on eastern conservatism.
