BOOST VALUE OF DOLLAR
 AND FIND. CROP MARKETS,
 URGED FOR FARM RELIEF
No Gut of Agricultural Products, Federal Agent
 Says, Blaming Consumption

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Make Uncle Sam's dollar worth one hundred good old-time American cents, create a market for farm products and the law of supply and demand, long askew will again become workable and agri- culture will find firm foundation.
 That program forms the best solu. tion of the agrarian ills of the coun- try if the consensus of farmers views counts for anything.
 Farmers throughout the United States are talking of bursting sur. pluses and products. The excess in foodstuffs held, however, is due to the fact that there is no market demand, officials at the United States Depart ment of Agriculture asserted today.
 There is no real over-production. The trouble is that there is under consumption, they say. Claim is made by them that there is not enough food in the world today to provide for normal consumption.
 In the fifty years following the Civil war, according to best statistics avail able, the United States farmer in creased cotton production five times, wheat production four times and corn three times. This increase happened while the population of the country only increased two and three-fourths times.
 "No wonder" says Dr. F. D. Ball, director of scientific work of the Ag- ricultural Department, that when the secretary of agriculture states that the United States produced twenty five per cent of the wheat, sixty per cent of the cotton and seventy-five DOT cent of the corn of the world, with only one-sixth of its population, the nation should feel it was on firm foundation and it's future prosperity assured.
 "The peak of agricultural produc- ton per capital of population was passed in 1898. Agricultural produc- tion almost kept pace with population increase for some little time after that date, but in the last decade it has steadily and ever more rapidly falion.
 Probably this can be more con- cretely shown by the definite state
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-27

fment that the cotton production has fallen in a decade from 14,000,00O bales to less than 12,O0O,000 balos Corn production reached its peak a decade ago and has remained practi cally stationary ever since. The 1920 average was 104,00O.000 bushels, the same as 1t was in 1910. Wheat pro duction no doubt would be even worse if it had not been for the fact of the great war drive and the remarkable advance in the selling price of this cash crop.
 "The combination, however, only forced it up temporarily, and it has dropped back almost to pre-war aver ago.
 Dr. Ball declares that the larger area of fertile land in the country has been taken up and that the increase in farm area in the future will be very slow. Production costs will be higher, he predicts.
 Statisticians in the Department of Agriculture have estimated that the population of the United States will be more than 22O,OO0,O00 at the close of the present century. They have placed the probable time in which the United States will begin to import staple foods at from fifteen to thirty years. America today. they declare, is a food-importing nation, measured in dollars.

"The Forbidden Thing" playing at the Empress tonight IS perhaps the most humanly interesting and absorb. ing photoplay of the season It is an Allan Dwan picture, and the fine hand of the director is seen through. out it's several reel of entertainment. Lighting effects are excellent, while the technical details, the atmosphere, types and all that enters into the pie ture are virtually perfect from every standpoint.
 James KirkWood heads a notable cast which includes Helen Jerome Eddy, Marcia Manon, King Baggott, Gertrude Claire, Jack Doseleigh, Ar thur Thalasso, Newton Hall and others. The interpretative work, all ways guided by the master hand of Allan Dwan, is always sincere and convincing.
 The schemes of the story are laid in the Cape Cod fishing district, and all the human joys and sorrows of a happy or unhappy people run with astounding interest from the first reel to the last. The work of MT. Kirk wood, Miss Eddy, Miss Manon and Mir. Baggott is especially effective. The central theme of the story re- wolves around the eternal contest of the physical woman against the spir- itual woman for the possession of mans soul.
 It is remarkable production and one that will boost the stock of Allan Dwan as one of the real screen docu- ments of the year. Tomorrow, You'll Be Surprised"

PROPOSE FREE
BAND CONCERT
Would be Given by Concert
Band if Musicians Union
Will Grant Permission

If the musicians union will grant
permission, the people of Perth
4-mboy will be given at least one
~ore band concert. This situation
results from the statement made to-
day by Sam D'Angelo, manager of
the Perth Amboy Concert Band.
that his band will give a free con-
cert providing the union will grant
permission.
The concert given in Bayview
Park last night used up the remain
ing funds and unless the union
grants permission for a free concert
the weekly entertainments will be
concluded for the season. The con-
cert last night was the eighth held
in this city.
Rain for a time threatened the
postponement of the concert last
night and delayed the start of the
program. The Perth Amboy Concert
Band furnished the music for this
event and made its usual hit. The
crowd last night was not as large
as at recent concerts, but this was
entirely due to the threatening
weather.
Just before o'clock a light rain
fell for a period of several minutes
and the appearance of the sky in
terfered with the coming Of resi-
dents from other sections of the city
to the Water street tract.
Shortly after the start of the pro-
gram the attendance continued to
steadily improve. but not anywhere
near the number which has featured
recent concerts. Only once from the
beginning of the program to the end
did the rain fall and this was COR a
short period.
Many of the numbers on last
nights program were repeated by
r.qUest and these numbers were well
received again last night. Carl de
Marco again made decided hit
with xylophone solos. one number
OF which was repeated by request.
This was the fourth concert to be
given in this city by this organiza :
tion. The Concert band gave the
first concert in City Hall Park, one

ARREST MAN IN
MURDER
George Girando, Wanted in
Double Murder at Highland
Park, Caught in Canada

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug 81
George Girando. a twenty-eight year
old Italian, who has been sought
by the county authorities since July
in connection with double murder
at Highland Park early last month,
has been arrested at Welland. Can
ada, according to advices received
this afternoon by County L.etective
Ferd A. David.
Girando was arrested at Welland
for vagrancy, the notice states. and
he was identified as the man wanted
for murder in Middlesex by means
of his finger prints, which were
taken by the Welland police and
then found to correspond 20 those
sent out in a circular broaGcasted
by the county authorities soon after
Girando fed the state. The picture
on the circular was an old one. said
to have been taken six years ago
when Girando was in prison. and
Identification was impossible by that
means. Comparison of the prints,
however, makes the Canadian po-
lice sure they have David's man.
Detective David leaves tonight
for Welland to see what can be
done to hold the prisoner until
measures are taken to extradite him
to the United States.
Girando was arrested under the
name of Joe Foglio. He has used a
long string of aliases IN his career.
Girando served a term in state
prison following a shooting case in
Perth Amboy. The present charge
has been hanging fire ever since the
crime was committed. The Italian
is suspected OF being the prime NOV
er in the double murder at High
lard Park and the case has been
running along unsettled awaiting tho
possibility of his capture.
The Highland Park murders were
committed on the night OF July g..
following an Italian celebration held
at the home of John Mauro. in Ber-
nard street. Mauro and Joseph
Vocci. of the same address. were
both found mortally wounded some
time after the party had broken up.
They died within a few moments
and the authorities were unable to
pick up the trail of the murderer r.
Suspicion fell upon Girando. how
ever. and'the circular requesting his
apprehension was sent out.
With the arrest of the suspect. the
county authorities are confident
that they will be able to clear up
the murders and David will make all
| possible speed in having his man
returned to Middlesex county for
examination and probably trial for
the crime.

Silzer seems to be the man, as far
as Middlesex Democrats are con-
cerned.
Once the big four" are out of
the way, resting their throats and
hands, visitors at todays outing win
have an opportunity to gaze upon
the exhibit offered as the county

as the man to be surrogate. At
present he Is filling the unexpired
term oe the late Daniel w. Clayton
and seems to be the logical man to
succeed himself for a fun term.
One pauses for breath when one
arrives at the freeholder field of
starters, Many. doubtless. will be
left at the post, but as things stand
now there are at least six men sid
LING up to the wire on the Democrat
side. Just which pair will be ac-
corded the inside track is hard 10
say but today should make the dop-

1t is costing the government about
$4,000 a year for storage charges
1t is the desire of Washington 20
eliminate the storage charges on
seized autos. AT first the Raritan
arsenal was considered by Major
Coleman a desirable place for the
machines. but space is not available
because the government is removing
materials stored at Morgan and
Gillespie to the arsenal
The opinion was expressed by
Major Coleman after comforting
with Major Phipps that space for
the autos could be found at Morga n
and seized liquors at Trenton and
Atlantic City could be transferred to
Middlesex county. Port Newark also
was considered, but it was decided
that liquor thefts might be frequent
at the former army base.
