RAIN BADLY NEEDED Tennessee River Is Lowest In Over 20
 Years

People of the Twin Cities and Nor gan county are hopeful for rainy season to lay the dust and to facilitate blowing among the farmers, also an in- crease in the flow of the Tennessee river. At Guntersville the N. c. & St., L. railroad has discontinued its trains owing to the lack of cooperation from the river craft. Mails in that section are now routed by way of Chattanooga. At Fort Payne the water supply is so low that streams are not getting their water supply there are usual. Mrs. A. H. Irons, local weather ob- server, stated Wednesday that the Ten nessee river here was the lowest it has been for than 20, years, The water gauge showed only three-tenth of an inch above the zero mark. The city water supply here is still ample.

 ANOTHER KIND OF GLARE
 How tired our eyes become after a day on the water, or when the sun shines brightly on the snow covered ground. Do you remember the mischievous boy in the class room who caught a beam of sun light in a mirror and reflected it into your eyes? It made you start. These things are particularly an- moving because our eyebrows give us no protection from this indirect or reflected light which comes in from below the level of the eyes,.
 This kind of glare must also be guarded against if we are reading or writing on glossy paper. The Eight should come over the shoulder, or be directed to the page at such an angle that a beam of light from the lighted filament of 8 lamp bulb cannot be reflected up into our eyes. Lamps placed in front of a mirror and shaded by shields should not be placed in such position that the mirror will reflect the image of the lighted filament of the lamp bulb back into our eyes and cause this kind of glare.

7 [ GLARE
 The trouble in the room was too . much glare-too much dazzle. Any very bright light which shines directly into the eyes produces glare and eyestrain. This becomes more and more unpleasant as the light stands out with greater con- trast te the darkness of the back ground.
 Lights for use in the home have improved quite rapidly during the last two or three generations and as soon as 8 better light was in- vented, we just put the new one in place of the older one First the candle was replaced by the oil lamp, snd this in turn by the gas light. When the modern electric light bulbs or incandescent lamps were invented and used in homes instead of gas, they gave more light and were much brighter than anything we had before.
 A bright light burning outdoors in the day might not even be noticed, and it would not cause glare because there would not be enough difference between the brightness of the light and the brightness of the daylight. How ever, at night this same light would

Have you ever gone into a room at night, and felt that there we too much light in the room? Per haps it was because you came in out of the dark, and your eye were dazzled by the light. If thia feeling of dazzle persisted, there was surely something wrong with the lights.

An export corporation. established by the
federal government, could handle the American
wheat for export, but the American wheat
farmer would continue at disadvantage,
would still be compelled to sell at world prices
unless an adequate tariff is provided for his
protection in the same manner as adequate
tariff is provided for the protection of the
American manufacturer.
To Establish Independent Prices.
Give the American wheat farmer an ade
quate tariff, give him lower export freight rates
and cut the wheat acreage, and his wheat will
sell on domestic basis, at domestic price.
Then the American wheat farmer can ab~
sOrb the higher wages for farm labor, can pay
fair domestic freight rates, can farm profit
ably on his higher priced lands, can pay
the high prices now required for everything he
buys. Then we will see our splendid Amer
lean prosperity spread out over our west
ern farms. Then we will have achieved that
greatest need of the nation. happy, prosper
Gus, contented family in every farm home.
Not Matter of Credit.
Cooperative organizations among the farm
ers are valuable, but they cannot bring full
relief. Adequate credit facilities are essen
tial, but more than credit is needed Credit
is of small value when wheat is selling be-
low To- cost of production. Credit disappears
in bankruptcy when there is no profit on the
farm.
Let us look at some of the facts.
The total world wheat crop in 1928, ex-
Guiding Russia, is estimated at 3,4oo. 600. 600
bushels. This exceeds the 1922 production by
300.0000 600 bushels and is greater by soc, ,0O0,-
600 bushels than the pre-war production

.low price for his wheat IN the K
face of continued high prices for every l.
thing he buys. F.
Unfortunately a great deal OF TINS La
writing and talking has been wide OF the
mark much of it based upon the fond Lee
hope that the general level of prices will @@7
somehow come down to the level OF farm
prices. FS'
In the Judgment of The Omaha Bee l.,
the expectation of fall of general price r
levels is worse than fond hope, 1T Is go

continuance of the present increased lS
standard Of living. ~ II
Time for Farm Inventory. =
The farmer must stop planting and
marketing blindly. He must build his &C
tivities upon the same foundation as the u
manufacturer.
High prices for manufactured prod
ucts. high wages for industrial workers
are good for the farmer-if he will but
organize to put his product on the same ~
high level.
The manufacturer operates behind
the security of an adequate tariff, and
properly So Industrial labor operates
behind the security of a restricted immi-
grafton law, and properly so.
The plain duty of the farmer, especially the
wheat farmer, is to go and do likewise
What Must Be Done.
This. then, is the program urged by 'fiie
Omaha Bee:
1. An adequate tariff.
2. RsASjussne.t e< freight rates FER the purpose
Of giving . levsr rate fer export wheat.
g. Reduction By 20 to IS per cent Of the wkea,
acreage.
4. Serious eeasAeratisn to be given te the
susssss;es Of Secretary Wallace Of the Depart
mont Of Agriculture looking t. the svSanEaties,

export wheat.
The effect of these steps will be to put
wheat on domestic basis. The sale prices in
the American markets will then be on the same
foundation as the sale of manufactured goods
those products which the farmer buys.
Menace Of Surplus.
The heavy hand which now rests on the
American farmer is the wheat surplus. Not
only the surplus raised in our own country but
the surplus raised in Canada, the surplus in
Argentina, in Australia, in all the countries of
the world, including Russia, which is rapidly
reaching an export basis.
Lower export rates are essential but these
will not cure the difficulty nor raise the heavy
hand of the surplus unless there is an adequate
tariff to keep the surplus raised in other coun-
tries from pouring over our borders.
Tariff to Protect Home Market.
Reduced acreage is essential but we can
cut our wheat crop in half and still we will
face the surplus of the world, unless there is
an adequate tariff to keep it out

Canada's Crop Is Problem
Canada produced during the prewar
years 1909-13 an average of 1877 100000
bushels of wheat a year. During 1929
Canada had increased its production to
100000, 900 bushels. This production
will be still further increased The Do
minion government is following a con-
sistent policy of attracting immigrants to
her western wheat growing provinces.
At the time of the extension of the
Canadian railroads into western Canada

cash subsidies and land grants and in re-
turn demanded and secured the present

Canada has only about 5000 900 in
hsbitants, yet her farms produce wheat
crop greater than half the American pro-
duction. We have = population to feed

Canadian wheat, therefore, must be
