STONE T0 FOLLOW POLICIES OF LEGGE New Chairman of Farm Board Says He Will Make Few Changes in Activities. Jlmu C. Stone, new chairman of the Farm Board, contemplates making no change In the policies of his predeces- sor, Alexander Legge, he stated yester- day. Chairman Stone said this applied particularly to the present operations of the grain and cotton stabilization corporatitns. He reviewed the board's activities, defended its program and characterized assistance in economic organization of agriculture as its major task and icy—more important than stabiliza- operations, which he termed purely emergency. Objections of Board. Asserting the co-operative method of organization was the most effective and best adapted to the needs of farm- ers, the chafrman said the board looked to the accomplishment of two prime objectives: “l—Development of a marketing syStem operating in the interest of the producer—the elimination of wastes and unnecessary costs, the improvement of grading, packing and processing of the product, elimination of the evils of competitive selling and establishment of an organized system of selling sup- ported by complete market d eco- nomic information which will enable co-operatives to deal with the buyers on a basis of equality. “3—Through co-operative organiza- tion also the board expects to see brought about consistent progress to- ‘ward the goal of the adjustment of pro- duction to potential demand.” Reviews Activities. Reviewing the 20 months,of board activity, swne sald its efforts had been directed mainly toward Nation-wide development of the co-operative move- ment with a view of uni , 80 far as practicable, sales activities of organiza- uonl handling the same commodity. Financial assistance, he said, has been given 101 assoclations, many of which were national or regional marketing agencies composed of hundreds of local co-operative units. The loans totaled slightly mcre than $250,000,000. The board also has undertaken 120 m’"‘ in studying marketing and cial problems for these associations. Says Program Sound. Seven national sales agencies with many co-operative associations as units have been organized with the board’s assistance. “We think,” Stone said, “this pro gram is fundamentally sound, we believe the farmers are beginning to realize that 1t is up to them to develop it. ® * ¢ The Farm Board can help and will help, but thl ‘work will have to be done by the farmers themselves. “One sees and hears a lot these d.-yl sbout how much the Farm Board going to lose of the $500,000,000 revulv- ing fund. Yes, some money may be lost, but any llnl!] in comj with the benefits llflculture. and, for that matter, the country as a whole.” OLD JEFF, NOTED CLOCK, IS HAVING FACES LIFTED Has Told Four Kindstof Time to Three Generations of Green- wich Villagers.

A jury uitted Miss .Hmerson of the charge of murder of Mrs. Henri Marchgnd, wife of the ar- tist for whom she had been a model :’lg with whom she had admitted in- acy. The Indians protested the remarks of District Attorney Guy B. Moore in his summation at the trial in which he said his office records showed that “the young women on the Indian res- ervations are mixing continually with the young boys, the young white han who live in the towns surrounding these Teservations.” “Immoral they are, gentlenen,” said. “And this woman, 33 years old, claims she was seduced by Henri Marchand.” Dr. Clifford Shongo, Indian physi- clan; representatives from the Tona- wanda and Allegany Reservations and from the Brant Reservation in Can- ada, defended the character o( Indian ‘women, as did two clergymen who con- . | duct churches on Indian reservations.
