THE EVENING DECLARES JARDINE “RABBIT TRACKS™ Kincheloe Says Secretary “Winds In and Out; Leaves Position Unknown.” By the Associated Press. Secretary Jardine was accused of “rabbit tracking” on farm legislation at hearings today before the House agriculture committee by Representa- tive Kincheloe, Democrat, Kentucky. Rabbit tracking, he explained, was “weaving in and out and leaving doubt as to his exact position.” William Hirth, chairman of an agri- cultural conference 'committee ap- pointed at Des Moines, was testify- ing at the time on a bill designed to handle the surplus crop problem through collection of an equalization fee on agricultural products and the setting up of a Federal board to deal with the subject. Uncertain of Stand. Asked how Secretary Jardine viewed the proposal, Hirth declared he could not say, although a few days ago he appeared to be against it. This led to Mr. Kincheloe's remarks, after which Hirth declared the Sacre- tary “did say there was such a thing as an agricultural problem and he hoped it would be solved.” Mr. Hirth declared that the Repub- lican party would be held responsi- ble for its campaign pledge to aid the farmers. Whoever takes lightly the action of the Des Moines conference, he said, “does so at his peril.” While he declared primarily re- sponsibility rested with the majority party, he added that the Democraf too, had a share in this responsibility, since they also had come out for farm relief. Warns Against Inaction. He read a portion of the Democratic platform committing the party to some sort of an export corporation to take care of surplus crops. “Misinterpret the Des Moines con- ference at your peril, I say to both political parties,” he continued. Reading the Republican platform section dealing with the agricultural question, he said: “It is possible the men at Cleve- }a.nd did not take this seriously— maybe it was what is known as po- litical apple sauce—but T want to tell vou there were hundreds of thou- sands of farmers who did take it se- riously, and they are asking the ma- Jority party to fulfill its pledges.” SPECIAL DIVIDEND OF $33.50.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March 11 (®).—Argentina’s corn crop de- teriorated seriously during February, and late sown grain has been serlous- ly damaged, it was stated in the re- port issued last night by the statisti- cal division of the ministry of agri- culture.

BOSTON, March 11 (Special).— Raw wool markets were quieter to- day and without important change in price levels. Fleece wools. which have been heavy for some time, are being withdrawn from offering by dealers.
