Mr.. White is convinced that there
was need for the legislation and
can see no reason now for changing
IT. The law. he says, confers auth

will work out the problems i'm
posed by 1t. He made it clear that
Congress is not so much concerned
by the regulations made by the De-

question as to whether the law it

provide for the conservation of the
fisheries supply, which he is con-
fident requires Immediate and ade-
quate regulation.
At Cordoya, Mr.. White expressed
absolute confidence in the ability,
integrity and courage of Henry
O'Malley, United States Commission

the fisheries problems in the Terri

should be complete cooperation by
ali concerned.
Mr.. White also declared that he
was not in sympathy with those
who oppose the use of fish traps and

proper regulation, both appliances
may be utilized to good advantage.
Mr.. White is hurrying East, as
he must leave August 19 for

WARNING IS ISSUED
ON CROP EXPANSION
Department of Agriculture
Fears Poor Prices From
Increased Acreage.

A tendency toward general expan-
sion of farm crop acreaEes this year
was noted in an intention to plant
report by the Department of Aeri-
culture, which issued with 1t q vir-
tual warning that too great produc-
tion would result in lower prices.
1T seems doubtful" the statement
says. If the general expansion OF
production contemplated by the farm
ers would be to their Sest interests.
Increased returns for the crops of
1924 were largely due to reduced sup
plies, either in this country. or abroad.
rather than TO any increase in de-
mand. The outlook indicates that any
marked expansion in most lines would
tend to lower prices and result in less
satisfactory returns to farmers
IF reported Intentions are carried
out the acreage in Spring wheat Will
be increased II per cent, or nearly
2,56o 600 acres.
III farmers generally carry out
their intentions as reported March 1
corn acreage will be increased by 2a
per cent above that grown for harve ST
last year. This would make the corn
acreage in 1925 per cent above the
1923 acreage and more than per
cent larger than 1922"
Farmers intend to plant per cen,
less area to potatoes, the report
stated, and 3.3 per cent less to max
seed, SIS per cent more oats, 23 per
cent more barley. 2a5 per cent more
sweet potatoes, 10.7 per cent more
grain sorghums, 80 per cent more
tobacco. As per cent more peanuts
and IL per cent more rice. The tame
hay acreage planned appeared to b
the same as last year.

COVER WIDE RANGE
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 20.-A series Of
gasoline price reductions, the frst to
be announced this year, took place
yesterday in certain sections OF the
East and South. The cuts followed
the announcement that, gasoline
stocks in February had increased a.
234, 334 barrels and several successive
gains in weekly crude oil production.
Beginning late last year, 4 number
OF advances had lifted gasoline 7cents
gallon.
The Standard Oil Co. OF New Jersey
initiated the downward price revi-
sion, ordering a reduction Of 1 cent q
gallon throughout its territory,
which brought the tank wagon quota
tion in New Jersey to Is cents a gal
lon and in other States to 10 cents
gallon. This cut was met by the
Gulf Oil Corporation, and other COM
panies are expected to follow.
