Farm leaders from 31 wheat-pro- ducing states were called here by H. R. Tolley, administrator of govern- ment benefit programs, to discuss the 1938 program. A survey of world wheat produc- tion and trade by government eco- nomists was pessimistic about the ‘United States regaining its wheat ex- port markets. They said the world wheat acre- age now is as large as ever and that trade barriers of importing nations and a reluctance of the public here to accept foreign imports in exchange for agricultural exports dimmed the prospects of large exports by the United States. Recent high world prices and the scramble among importing nations for wheat were attributed to a series of short crops in Canada and the short 1935 cro pin Argentina. Prices in the United States have been above world levels for four years but the economists said a “return of Normal weather conditions, with the Present United States acreage in wheat,” would push prices here down “to their normal relationship below Liverpool quotations.” Government leaders told the farm spokesmen that 73,600,000 acres was seeded for harvest in the United States this year, an all-time peak ex- cept for the 1919 crop. They estimated that “with average yields, only 55,000,000 acres were need- ed for domestic requirements” to pro- uce between 625,000,000 and 650,000,- 000 bushels. Conditions in North Dakota this year are very favorable to successful use of chemicals in weed contro! oper- ations. Dry atmosphere last year re- tarded the action of the chemicals so that killing of the weed tops was slow. ‘This year wilting of plants has been noted: 15 minutes after the chemical ‘was applied. _—_—————— Jayson Shirts wear longer — Bergeson’s. q Though yesterday y likely ri ae is in the clenched-fist salute of the loyalist st_ cause, to- day the men, women and children ane remained in capitulated Bilbao quickly extend their hands in the Fascist salute to greet General Franco's victorious rebel troops as they entered the city.

Discussing the question of commun- ity property, Magill said eight states permitted a husband and wife each to report one-half of a family income for tax purposes although all the in- come may have been earned by only one of them, This division placed their incomes in lower brackets and thus reduced their taxes, he said. ‘The so-called community property states are California, Texas, Louis- jana, Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho and Nevada. Magill said if husbands afd wives in these states alone had been required to pay in- come taxes on their total income in 1936 the government would have re- ceived an additional $34,000,000. Nourmahal Not Incorporated When the committee started its session, Magill said he had ascertain- ed that the yacht Nourmahal, owned by Vincent Astor, had not been in- corporated and its expenses had not been deducted from Astor’s tax re- turns. President, Roosevelt has taken sev- eral fishing trips on the yacht. Rep. Crowther (Rep.-N. Y.) Had asked Magill for information about it. Magill’s testimony came after Charles T. Russell, deputy commis- sioner of internal revenue, had re- commended tightening of the pension trust provisions in the revenue laws. . Arthur H. Kent, assistant general counsel of the treasury, discussed taxation of non-resident aliens. Treasury officials had lists of indivi- dual names but because no question of illegality was involved, the lists were not inserted in the official rec- ord.
