Federal Reserve Board Gov
ernor Says Producers,

Should Pull Together.

Washington, Dec. 3,-Co-opera-
! ton between producers, bankers
and the public is necessary in the
| present situation which the farm
ers face as a result of falling pric-
| es, the joint senate and house az
riculture committee was told today

compared the situation to that OBJ
| tanning when crops failed and said
he was quite sure that the mer-
! chants and the banks would stand
by the farmers if the latter showed
a disposition to do the right
| thing"
Secretary Houston of the treas
ury department previously had
| stated that he saw no specific solu-
| ton to the present problem, al

| the subject more thought in the
! past few months than they had Civ

Governor Harding told the COM
mittee he was more apprehensive
a year ago over conditions than. he
was today. 49~'
"A year ago we were living in a

and conditions were just as abnor-

are now in some respects as low

No Denial of Credits.
Governor Harding asserted that
there had been no denial of cred
its to agricultural interests and that
the farmers were concerned now
about their ability to sell their
products and pay for credits ex-
tended to them for the planting of
their crops.
Mr.. Harding reiterated his sug-
gestion that the farmers sell part
of their products for which there
is a market, even If at a lower
price than they would like to re-
ceive and use the proceeds to re-
duce their Indebtedness. This
would ease the whole situation, he
said.
The federal reserve board chair
man said he expected to see sta
bilization in business after the hol-
idays with either an advance in
prices for those articles which
have fallen suddenly, or drop in
the price of articles which have
remained high.

MOHLER FAVORS
UNIFORMITY IN
F. CROP REPORTING
Secretary of Kansas Board
of Agriculture Wants Fig-
ureS Based on Actual
Acreage, Not Estimates.
tBy The Associated Press)

Chicago, Dec. Adoption of
uniform method of crop reporting
based on an actual acreage census,
rather than estimates as Is now the
case IN many states. was urged by
j. c. Mohler, secretary of the Kan
sas board of agriculture, addressing
the National Association of State
Commissioners and Secretaries of
Agriculture here today. Kansas
Eas a nation-w wide reputation for
Its crop reports, aC riding to a.ri-
cultural experts.
Crop reporting is the balance
wheel OF business" said Secretary
Mohler. This accounts for the
perennial anxiety shown from yea"
TO year as to conditions and pros
poets. The Importance of and
universal interest in the agricul-
tural outlook is we'll indicated by
the generous space regularly de-
voted to crop news in the press
everywhere.
Acreage Is Correct Basis.
Chief among the principles un-
\. derlying crop reporting are accu-
lraCy, thoroughness, timeliness and
quickness of dissemination. A
fundamental requirement is cor
rect basis, and that basis is acre
age. If the acreage in crops is not
accurately determined, the whole
Buperstructure of crop reporting
rests on a false foundation. While
our governments crop reporting
service rates deservedly high in
public esteem, it is weak at vital
point and that point is found in its
acreage figures. The governments
reports on acreagcs are estimates,
and estimates are the hosts of
doubts and uncertainty. One in ten
years, to be sure, the L. S. census
affords a belated check
From the official records of the
u. S. department of agriculture
itself many examples may be
cited as to the INDEPENDENTLY of
acreage estimates. In Kansas,
where an annual acreage census
has been taken for nearly fifty
years, through a house to house
canvass by assessors, the acreage
estimates of the government are
found to be at wide variance with
the state returns, for many crops
In many years.
reference is made to these
discrepancies as revealed by the

| to emphasize that the vital thing
! in crop reporting is an annual
acreage census. 1t is the one thing
the government needs ia make its
crop reporting well-nigh letter per-
feet, An annual acreage census is
something the government does not
take, but a number of the states
do and others are preparing for it,
The results of these states censuses
should be made available to the
government as quickly as possible
each year under an equitable CO.
operative plan. This would mean
greater accuracy and increased eff
ficiency, but if properly extended
one state report would take the
place of two as at present in some
states, this avoiding conflict, con-
fusion and duplication, as well as
saving a considerable expense. The
public demands the best service
that can be rendered, and present
methods may be greatly improved

writing of little piece of poetry by
herself and as result she has some
money to spend for Christmas pres

Spread over with Dinner Bell.

one,
1.-TWO Slices the other did yell.
Let us go back for another slice
If two is better than one.
So back they did go,
And told their mother they'd
just begun.
The poem was not written with the
idea that it was prize winner or
because the company had contest
running, because there was nothing
of the kind going on, but the little
girl merely sent it in as childish
act. Mr.. j. p. Thomy, vice-president
of the Glidden company, had heart
in him and it did not take him long
to write a letter back telling the
little lady that he liked her ways and
appreciated her act, enclosing with
his letter a check of his company for
the sum of $500.
