farm BOARD PLANS
| STIR OPPOSITION
Operations in Wheat Market
Are Declared Deterrent
to Foreign Sales.
BY J. C. ROYLE.

Bitter opposition to the program of
the Federal Farm Board is developing
in the Midwest. Farmers there con-
tend that there is no important surplus
Of agricultural products, except In
wheat, and add that If the board had
not artificially held up the price Of
wheat at level width prevented the
buying of the American crop in for
eign markets there would not now be
an extraordinary surplus.
The main policy of the Farm Board
is devoted to the reduction of acreage
on all agricultural products and smaller
crops. The Corn Belt Farm Dailies, an
acknowledged authority in the corn,
live stock and agricultural field, de-
clareS the impression of an important
agricultural surplus is exaggerated.
Favorable Spring.
The Dailies says that agriculture was
In good shape last Summer. Prices were
at level that insured prosperity for
good farmers. They blame the board
Tor creating an unfortunate psychology
ical attitude, asserting that the only
surplus production was in sheep, dairy
products and poultry. The Farm Board
declares that acreage and production
must be decreased. but both contending
parties prophesy better farm prices.
1t has been a generally favorable
Spring. Farmers are, on the whole, far
along with their planting. Corn plant
ing will be early, and this indicates a
neavy crop. benefiting both the corn
growers and the live stock feeder,
Live stock is the bright spot in the
situation. Despite the heavy increase
in sheep, we'll conditioned beef is SELL
ing at profitable prices Hogs. while
lower than year ago, are still return
ing profits to breeders and feeders.
hogs can be produced at to 8 cents
a pound now and are averaging over
10 cents at market.
Growers admit that their safety lies
In diversity Of production Where COWS.
SoWS and ewes are included In the farm
products there seldom is a time when
some live stock cannot be sold at
pront. This has cut down the neces-
sly OF securing farm loans and has
stapillzed the business of all merchants

Farm Board Confident.
With those factors in mind, the op-
| position to the Farm Board program
Is not hard to understand. At FIRST the
farmers said Lets see how it works :"
Now there is serious doubt in some
sections whether it will work.
The Farm Board, on the other hand
declares it can and will put its program
through to successful conclusion If
cooperation is accorded it. On the
other hand the very leaders of the es-
taDlished co-operatives in many cases
Will not extend that cooperation.
However, as long as steers are bring
ing m $3.50 to $27O head, and as long
as four head will buy a good auto and
one head will put electricity into the
farm home, the situation is far from
being dark.

STATE BANKS CARRY
TOO FEW U. S. BONDS
New York Economist Would Add
More Government and Other
Senior Securities.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

: NEW YORK. April 11.-As contrasted
to bond holdings of national banks as
group, the State banks in the United
States are in somewhat more liquid
condition than necessary, said DR.. Paul
m. Atkins, economist of Ames, Emerich
& Co., in the firms Current Bank Brief.
He points out that State banks as a
group hold too few United States Gov
eminent securities, as well as being
:woefully weak in their holdings of rail-
road and other public service and for
eign bonds" Their portfolios of other
securities are greatly in excess of their
legendary reserve needs, it is said.
From June 80, 1928, to June 20, 1929,
total holdings of securities by State
banks decreased almost 100000 GOO.
Funds so released were largely employed
n the call money market, this shift
tending to increase the liquidity OF
these banks.
With the world trend toward lower
interest rates and rapid withdrawal OF
funds from the call money market,
Broad general revision in bond port
folios of State banks as well as national
banks can be expected, he added.

New Coifures.

Hair-dressing styles follow the styles
in clothes, therefore with the more
feminine type Of dress, and with such
things as bosoms and hips acknowl-
edged instead Of suppressed, more
feminine styles in hair dressing were
only to be expected. Fortunately for
our comfort, not even the biggest of
the dressmaking establishments in Paris
could force women into long skirts for
any time but evenings. Therefore the
new hair dressers who start the fashions
In this line have not had to think Of
impossible ways Of making short hair
look long.
For you can have short hair with the
most formal sort Of evening dress. Not
too short-that's quite out of date,
pretty as it was. Let your hair grow q
little-not too much. And for the time

tion-have 1t waved.
You can keep it short in back. But
at the sides it should be long enough
to cover the ears, to be fluffy, to wave,
perhaps even to be drawn back with a

Let your hair grow a good inch be-
low your ears, even two inches. You

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

, October 3, 1S19-The contest over the
question of having public market days"
on Sundays has reached the point
| where those who favor Sunday markets
are planning tonight to hold market
day tomorrow at the eastern end OF the
Navy Yard Bridge. Whether the project
will be successful is doubtful at this
time, especially since the location is SO
far from the center of the City OF
Washington.
The subject has been agitated for a
number of years. James H. Blake, when
he was mayor OF the City of Washing
ton, several years ago, suggested by way
of compromise that Sunday markets be
permitted within the city from october
/ to April /. He explained that during
the Winter months the weather would
probably be cold enough to permit the
farmers of Maryland and Virginia and
the outlying sections of the District Of
Columbia to keep their produce from
Saturday night until the following Mon
day without the use OF Ice. y
Mayor Blake called attention 10 the
fact that Sunday markets were per-
mitted at two other places in the Dis
and Accumulation
the sale Of meats.
Although q bill to accomplish this
compromise was passed by the Common
Council Of Washington City, 1t was re-
jected by the board of aldermen. It
was this action that started the move
ment among many dealers to go beyond
the jurisdiction of the city council,
where they may enjoy the freedom of
going to market on Sundays.
The controversy over the Sunday
market question has been going on in
Georgetown and Alexandria, as well as
in Washington City, for a number of
years. In the year 1896 the authorities
of Georgetown even decreed that shops
must be closed on Sundays and there
should be no buying nor selling of goods
dealt In by shopkeepers and hucksters.
In 1914 1t was ordered by the city
fathers of Georgetown that there should
be no work on Sunday. Children and
slaves were specifically prohibited from
"profaning" the Sabbath by going hunt
ing or fishing on Sunday.
The effort to defy the decree of the
city council of Washington by holding
Sunday market tomorrow at the far
end Of the Navy Yard Bridge has
aroused considerable interest. Most
persons predict that it will fail.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Talking is one of the baby's most
difficult accomplishments. For its de-
velopment he needs a pattern of clear
speech upon which to model his bab-
bling sounds. To make use Of this
model he must have good hearing.
Babies are talked to by their mothers
in a language that seems to the mother
particularly suited for baby's under
standing. How can baby learn adult
words unless he hears them used con-
Stantly and has his own abortive efforts
corrected? If baby is just allowed to
babble words in his own manner and
the parents make enormous efforts to
translate these words for him, he has
no real incentive to make any further
efforts toward intelligibility.
"Oh, we know what she is sayingl"
the mother says proudly when daughter
bursts into a stream Of commanding
and unintelligibile syllables. This may
be a state pleasing to the mother, but
1t is static one for baby.
The child Of / year who can hear
we'll is talked to in an adult manner
and. if mentally up to normal, should
have four or five words in his vocabu-
lar which he uses with purpose and
meaning. From then on the develop
ment Of the vocabulary is rapid. The
child Of is quite capable OF talking
In two or three word sentences and
using an incredible number of different
words.
Mrs. E. T. W. wonders If she has
cause for worry when her 3-year-old
boy uses only half a dozen words,
though he has dozens in his own Ian
guage. She says: "He Is exceptionally
bright in other ways and quick to un-
derstand, but he won't say anything.
He has always been alone with me,
and I was much alone before he was
born. Would that have anything to do
with 1t? Need worTy?"
Worry is useless unless 1t stimulates
one to do something about altering the
situation. I think that you should at
least make some real efforts to discover
the cause of the slow talking. At 8
years the child should talk.
Possibly you are allowing him to get
all the attention and service he needs
through the use of this makeshift Ian
guage. Do not be so ready to under
stand 1t, and always suggest the right
words for what the child Is trying to
say. Read to him daily and talk to
him conversationally, instead Of being
silent a. 10 probably your custom, ex-
cept when you want TO give an order
or q suggestion. Your own silence be-
fore he was born has nothing to do with
this-otherwise no child Of q deaf mute
would talk, and we know that Is far
from true-but your habitual silence
after he was born Is probably q very
important factor.

BOSTON, April 26.-Although gen.
eral business has improved somewhat
over recent months, it has failed by a
considerable margin to reach level
comparable to that of last year, &C.
cording to this weeks United Business
Service Report.
In fact, after being corrected for sea-
eonal trends, business in March de-
clined from that of February and a
further slight decrease is in prospect
for April. Factory operations have ex-
banded somewhat in April and building
has speeded up, with contracts thus
far running only slightly under those
of a year ago. But as a general thing
1t cannot be said that the usual sea-
Sonal expansion has been enjoyed.
Automobile output has increased
steadily since last December, but is
still approximately 80 per cent under
1929. Further gains in industrial oper-
atoms are likely to prove Of only mod
crate duration, and the level will prob
ably not approach that Of last year
until Fall.
