A1 FARM RELIEF ROW FAILSTO AR UL, Out of Experiment Some Ef- fective Remedy May Be Evolved, Is Hope. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Although the farm relief program is the subject of bitter controversy, the Federal Farm Board is not out of har- mony with the administration, - but there is and always has been a definite understanding that the board was to undertake any and all experiments needed to bring about stabilization. Many of the comments from the West are to the effect that the Federal Farm Board made a grave mistake in actually entering the wheat market as a purchaser, especially now that it has Bad no effect on market prices. There is little disposition to argue about this phase of the problem eycept that the Farm Board is not now! re- suming purchases, but is urging a Tim- itation of planting. The board, through its spokesman, is indicating that the domestic surplus is likely to disappear rather quickly as a result of the long drought and low Jevel of prices and the use of wheat as feed for cattle. Looked on as Experiment. Broadly speaking, the whole farm program is looked upon by the adminis- tration as an experiment in stabiliza- tion. With the pressure for the Me- Nary-Haugen bill and the export de- benture plan, the board found itself compelled to try out the theory that the Government itself could stabilize the level of prices. Waile $250,000,000 have been used in the lending operations practically all of this is secured and is expected to come back to the United States Treasury. The loss involved may not exceed $30,- 000,000 or $40,000,000 in which case the Government will consider that the ex- perience it has gained in trying to put a $12,000,000,000 industry into better condition was worth while as a piece of research. The primary purpose of the farm Jegislation is viewed by t.e administra- tion as having been a major effort to bring about better marketing methods and better marketing organizations among the farmers. It is the firm be- lief of the officials here that this will be accomplished and that a formula will be developed out of the experiments conducted by the Federal Farm Board. Reduction Issue Active. Plans for reduction of acreage are #till being discussed and the latest is that. of Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, who thinks that an_international con- ference might be called to bring about ‘world-wide co-operation in the reduc- tion of acreage. Chairman Legge of the Farm Board doesn’t think that the United States is well enough organized among its farmers to carry out any constructive policy. Mr. Thomas be- leves that crop reduction should not be dependent upon voluntary co-operation any more, but that the only effective way to limit production is to write it into the law. There is doubt, of course, as to the constitutionality of such s . Legge has pointed out also that 4t there should be an international con- ference there would be many other sug- gestions proposed by other countries, | age principally the advocacy of plans for the purchase by the American Govern- ment of the crops of other countries |t and that the American farmer would be led into false hopes, which would serve to delay action on the part of the Amer- féan grower in limiting production.

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, August 2—A Canadian economist has joined the critics of the United States Federal Farm Board. Prof. W. W. Swanson of the Univer- sity of Saskatchewan, chairman of the provincial commission on immigration and settlement. attributes present low wheat_prices to “the operations of the United States Farm Board” and consid- ers that “demoralizing market effects will prevail as long as the Farm Board continues its artificial market manipu- 1ation.” “Throughout the world,” said Prof. Swanson, “the wheat crop does not reach the proportions of a year ago and even the United States will have no considerable surplus above the normal. The real factor depressing the market at present is the surplus created by past policies of the Farm Board. Figures issued by the Department of Agricuiture at Washington, which are exceedingly bearish, have evidently been published with &’ purpos: . The purpose, he declared, was to sup- port Alexander Legge, chairman of the board, and his associates in their effort to curtail wheat acreage. PLANE TRAVEL HEAVY MIAMLI.

TAMPA, Fla, August 2—Bids for the burial of the city's pauper dead were received by the Cemetery Committee to- day as follows: White corpees, $35 each. Negro corpses, 1 cent each. White undertakers banded together on the 835 rate, but the 1 cent bid for negroes was submitted by the leading negro undertaker. He got the job. “I'll bury every Negro pauper who dies in Tampa,” he said, “for the sum of 1 cent each from the city. And I'll make $500 a year doing it.” He explained that most colored fu- nerals were arranged by burying so- cleties, which usually paid all expenses, and, if assured the pauper funeral busi- | ness, he'd be willing to look elsewhere for his fees.
