HEAT farmers of the nation, In order to receive federal cash benefits under the domestic allotment plan, must agree to reduce their 1034 wheat acreage by 10 per cent. This was the announcement made by Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace, after the news of the inter. national wheat agree- ment reached In the Londen conference was received, The sécretary estimated that this reduction will mean a cut of about 9.0600X) acres in wheat plantings and of more than 124,000,000 bushels in the 1934 wheat crop, provided all the farmers sign up. This they were being strongly urged to do In appeals that were broadcast throughout the wheat belt. Under the allotment plan, the ma- chinery of which is now completed, the government will pay the farmer 28 cents per bushel on 54 per cent of his crop, or that portion destined for con- sumption In this country. In return the farmer must agree to cut his 1634 wheat plantings by 15 per cent, Some £120,000,000 in compensating payments is expected to be paid this year, if all wheat farmers sign con- tracts promising to reduce their next year's planting by the stipulated amount. Funds for the payments are expected to be raised by a 30-cents-a- bushel processing tax on the flour mill. ers.

President William Green of the American Federation of Labor was quick to take advantage of vision of the code which, he held, per- mits the workers to organize. He wired the general organizer, William Collins, in Detroit to appeal to auto employees to “unite with labor.” simistic observers see in all this the seeds of future conflicts, Henry Ford was still silent on intentions concerning the code.

EA and conversation were all that Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, obtained when he visited President Roosevelt at Hyde Park. He was accom panied by George I. Harrison, governor of the New York federal reserve bank, and he hoped to talk about stabilization of the currency. But there were various other guests present, and still more dropped in during the afternoon and Mr. Roosevelt had no desire to talk about stabilization or any allied matters. So it was just a pleasant social affair, and Mr. Norman left early. The eminent Londoner, however, did have a number of conferences with financial men, including Secretary of the Treasury Woodin, and monetary problems were discussed, but the re sults, If any, were not made public.

The extent to which pur. chases are scheduled to be made will mean a reduction of from 12 to 16 per cent In the marketings that are likely to take place otherwise in the 1033. 1034 marketing seasan, according to the calculation. The experts who fig. ured out what the reduction will mean also are authority for the ealeulation that the action will result In an in. crease In prices of hogs during the forthcoming season ranging from 25 to 35 per cent. That is the claim, any- way! ; So it is seen that the Department of Agriculture expects to accomplish an increase In hog prices by $1 or $1.50 over the present base price of about $4.50 per hundred. The first portion of the benefits to come from the plan is In the form of the premium which we have discussed, and the second is in the form of higher prices for the remainder of the hog crop, Mr. John Q. Consumer is the one upon whom success of the enterprise depends, Mr. Wallace is going to lay another processing tax on hogs that go into domestic consumption. No such tax will be laid on hogs killed for export ghipment. The amount of the tax has not been definitely fixed, but Mr. Wallace holds that one-half cent sufficient funds. It must be noted, much more per pound of edible ham for ham and eggs, or in the pork chops that grace the table, Mr. Wallace says with be repeated. eration at once to a definite program of a permanent character that will effect a more substantial reduction in the future, a sort of a birth-control idea. At the same time and inter- linked with the hog program, he pro- poses to work out some arrangement that will reduce the acreage of corn. It is quite obvious to anyone that if there was an artificial Increase in hog prices there would be an expansion of hog production in another year. So Mr, Wallace is going to try to defeat that through birth control of hogs and by causing an increase in the price of corn, ® . * Without passing on the merits of the scheme which Mr, Wallace and his advisers have worked out for ther than to say he Is being eritd- cized vigorously in a good many quar. ters, It must be remembered there has been a folent America’s position with respect to its surplus hog products, In years, there been almost decrease e¢ export of pork and its products Decrease in Exports change in recent has th} annually a in cause the European countries, hither. our great been ing up their hog pr ently rl market, have step- au ion congist- ( gince the World war.

In addition to this I had done up my hair in such a way that added several years to my ap- pearance and this was helped out by the long skirt on the dress and the high heels.

All of the fine stories I had made up went out of my mind in a flash, He asked me to stand in one corner of the room and then to walk to and fro across the floor which I did, With a puzzled look he said: “Hm, I thought you were much younger, Miss Daniels.” All my hopes went out the window.
