The students of the White Bluffs
High School reverted to the days of
real sport last Friday and had Val
entine box. The box, decorated with
hearts in such way as to give it the
appearance of having the measles, was
placed in one end of the gymnasium to
receive the sundry offerings of those
pupils who are affected with that COM
mon disease of the heart,-lovesick-
ness. Of course, other pupils put their
Offering in, too, but Of what import

were distributed by Dudley Will

Washington Ticker
BY CLINTON COFFIN,

Though the Federal Farm Board has
at no stage Of It's brief existence had q
path Of roses to tread, competent OBJ
servers now say that it is moving to
solve what may prove to be the most
difficult problem in the way of organ
izing agricultural marketing in the in
terests of the producer. BY conferences
begun this week with cooperative lead
ers and organizers from various parts
of the country, Chairman Legge and
his commissioners are beginning to es-
innate whether the actual number OF
farmers associated in cooperative mar
keting enterprises all over the country
can be greatly increased.
marked increase in farmer cooper
alive membership, most people inter-
eSted in the field say, is probably nec-
eSsary to enable the board to make any
permanent progress toward stabiliza-
ton Of the prices of the important farm
commodities. 1t is the theory OF the
law that the board will use its $780,
100000 of Federal appropriations as d.
rect loans to national sterilization cor
porations, which will be, in effect, the
agents of the cooperative. enterprises
now existing. But sooner or later, and as
much sooner as possible, the activity
and membership of the local co-opera-
tives back in the country must be radi-
cally enlarged or there will be hazard
Of failure. In drafting the law Con-
gress and the administration saw the
point and inserted provision that part
Of the Federal funds could actually be
spent to bring about such organiza-
ton, and, thought the board has not
released any cash for the purpose, such
an eventuality may result from the con-
ferences.
"It is probable, in view of the tenn
per Of the American farmer that the
board will have to demonstrate the
ability of its present policies to have
some effect on agricultural marketing
situations before cooperative member
ship can be increased sharply" re-
marked Chester H. Gray, Washington
representative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. Among actual
farmers there seems to be a disposition
to await results before joining I'm with
existing organizations. 1t is probable
that in two main commodities where
marketing is now centralized, IN grain
and cotton, the boards creation az
national corporations and direct adj
vance OF money will have much effect
These corporations will probably nrovc

markets, and after that has been seen

power. Methods followed by the auto

output more closely to demand, IL is be-
lieved, can be developed for radio pro-
duction with considerable ease in view
OF the modern practical knowledge as

The trite old axiom that tastes differ
Is singularly well illustrated by the
customs records as to international
preferences among American tobacco
types. Last month out of the total
shipments of 64,528,000 pounds of
bright, fiu-cured Southern tobacco,
Great Britain took more than half.
English possessions over the globe took
another large fraction, while the ball
ance went to China.
But smokers OF the European CONT
nent generally wanted heavier smok-
ing compound, and countries like Ger
many, The Netherlands, Belgium and
switzerland consumed nearly all of the
dark-flred product of Kentucky and
Tennessee. The French taste in tobacco
proved to be even more specialized, and
during the month that country took
practically the complete export of
Maryland and Ohio domestic. French
possessions intAfrica, Algeria and Tunis
likewise notably declare a preference for
the darker American tobaccos from
Kentucky and Tennessee.
