unerring skill in plotting the first
aircraft over the North Pole was pro
posed in bill yesterday by Represent
ative Mcleod. Republican. Michigan.
The measure would authorize "due

Congressional Record calling the AT
tention Of his colleagues to this un-
precedented achievement. Representa-
tive -McLeod said:
THE feat of Lieut.. Comdr. Richard
E. Byrd. which electrified the world,
is another and perhaps one of the
most conclusive bits of evidence that
the day of aviation has arrived. That
which has for more than a century
been tried in vain by the use Of sail
ing and steam-driven vessels yester-
day was accomplished in a three
motored airplane in Is hours and 30
minutes. Men who had previously
suffered agonizing hardships during
tedious dog-team expeditions into the
polar regions yesterday established an
Unprecedented deed in comparative
comfort, making observations from
the air which were impossible previ-
ously to make, covering more territory
than could be covered in eight months
of mushing through the treacherous
ice.
This deed which had been regarded
by many as at most fool-hard0
undertaking il not sheer impossF
biity, has been done by an American
naval officer who is now only SO years
old. This fact suggests that the ex-
plorers, like the methods which they
use. are OF the new generation, and
it is warning to those of passing
age that their methods are being let
behind. because they can no longer
compete successfully with the new.

Americas economic structure cannot
be sound while so vital a factor of
it as American agriculture is un-
healthy, the big industrial interests
of the nation have investigated the
situation of the farmer and have
confirmed the fact that he IS in a
very bad way.
The farmer, they find, is not even
half as we'll off as the average
American. His buying power has
been growing steadily weaker for
the past twenty-five years. For every
dollar of national income received
by the worker in other occupations,
the farmer receives about 40 cents.
These findings are based on q

ganization supported by manufac-
turing, mining, transportation and
public utility interests. The survey
concludes that what the farmer is
suffering from is a Serious econom-

production in proportion to the pop
uiation increase.

cial failures remained virtually the
same.
Figures almost as startling are
shown when it is added that the
amount of invested farm capital
dropped from SAL, 900. 100000 in 1920
to $32, 900, 100000 in 1925.
Yield Decreased
The per capita acreage of i'm
proved farm lands has decreased 16
per cent since 1873 and the crop acre
age has decreased Z per cent since
1900.
Even the yield per acre on prtn-
cipal crops has decreased 4 per cent
in the last twenty-five years. For
the same period, farm production in
proportion to urban population Is
down 20 per cent.
What is needed, the conference
board concludes, is "a more scien-
tific coordination Of all business and
industrial activities"-including the
business of farming. The agricul-
tural problem, it reiterates, is every
body's problem.
