WASHINGTON. Mo-. I4.-Secre-
tary William u. Jardine again denies
that he's going 70 resigE-r.ght away.
He v y ne intends to stay on the
job through the next session Of con-
gress anyway, and It sounds probable.
Putative father. Us he is, or the com
promise farm relief plan with which
the administration hopes TO satisfy
the corn belt this coming winter, IL
would Ne a mean trick IN him TO quit
now virtually repudiating the poor
thing Just at a time when 10 most
needs the countenance. Of his recog-
milton and his name.
What with the attempt 70 replace
so vital an organ as its equalization
fee by the doubtful substitution OF a
revolving fund, it's a sickly infant
at best. Darn few vicissisudes would
settle its hash for good.
However, II Secretary Jardine had
known, two and a.hslf years ago,
some Of the things he must know to-
day. we're at liberty "a wonder II
ever he'd have been minister Of agri-
culture at all.
Only a few DAYS after he was
sworn In. I had a talk with him.
Rr'er Jardine has a vein Of poetry
running through him. He said he
was aware the farmers were up
against IL. Yet. he pointed out, they
have their compensations- They live
close to nature. The greenery all
around EN- Is their greener5. The
new-mown smells are their smells
The m~eadowlark overhead is their
lark. When il SHOWS, in winter, its
their snow.
This kind OF stuff. the newly-ap-
pointed secretary remarker, has a
value that can't be reckoned In cash,
and he intimated that ne had an idea
il might be possible TO make the
farmers see it, and include IL in their
inventories.
I distinctly recall that ! questioned
this in my " mind.
Even II the farmers did as the Sec
rotary recommended, ! couldn't see
how they were going 70 apply It on
their mortgages.
Senators from some Of the western
states, like Nye and Frazier, Norris,
Brookhart and Shipstesd. have since
told me that they couldn't solve this
problem either, and now they say
they're convinced the reason was that
nobody could solve tit was n puzzle
with no answer at all:

Prosperity in the Valley

Rio Grande Valley has been listed among those sec

In q way, for an agricuIturist who

No critic denies that he has tried

When he was appointed, two
courses were open 70 him, in order

He certainly hasn't filled prescrip-

And yet, though there's been n per-

Doubtless sighed Vance "You

at 'ength. your theories are clear
