Farm Board Is Working
For Reduced Acreage
From the Flint Daily Journal.

From the Flint Daily Journal.
The Federal Farm Board is actively
engaged in an educational campaign to
show farmers the necessity of reducing
crop paintings. The recommendation
Is for cut of 10 per cent in the acre.
The great difficulty which the Farm
Board has had to contend with in its
efforts to stabilize wheat is the supplies,
which have been greater than any pos
sible demand could exhaust. The wheat
acreage harvested last year in the
United States was the largest Of recent
years and 3,000,00 acres above that Of
1928. Such an abundant supply, 1t can be
seen in q moment, would work havoc
despite any attempts to organize the
market to deal with extra crops.
1t is now time for farmers to be
planting their Spring wheat. If they
through co-operatives to cut their acre
age, we may see better results of the
Farm Boards work In later months,
but the farmer is difhcult man to
show that by raising more wheat than
possibly can be consumed he is merely
lowering the price. Instead, when he
sees the price going lower he plants
more, in order that a larger crop will
even up for the lower price per bushel
Almost CWo-LnlroS OF our wheat acre
age goes to Winter wheat, which was
planted last Autumn. But the Spring
wheat, now being planted, does not
show a very appreciate drop, accord
ing to the Department Of Agriculture's
recent survey Although this report is
based on returns from $4,000 farmers,
1t cannot be taken as an exact forecast
of the acreage that will be planted.
Weather conditions, prices, labor supply
and other factors invariably make q
difference between what the farmer
plans on March and what he actually
plants when his Spring blowing is nm
ished. Consequently, If there Is any
plea which can reach the farmers Of
putting too much of their land into
wheat, now is the time they should be
reached. 1t is still time to help the
situation.

Morrow and Frelinghuysen
Focus Interest i'm Jersey

The Hartford Courant quotes the New
Jersey poll against prohibition, with the
comment that Mr.. Frelinghuysen's
changed convictions at very nicely into
the apparent politics of the situation"
That paper adds, however, that "Mr.
Morrow's candidacy on any basis will
be appealing to those who would like to
see New Jersey represented in the Sem
ate by man of his outstanding qualid-
cations"
Stating that the former Senator "un-
questionably has damaged his standing
in Hudson by his recent combination
with the machine in Trenton" the Jer-
sey City Journal thinks sit is not likely
that the Morrow forces will allow any
campaign time to be wasted" and con-
cludes: Morrow will doubtless meet
the issues Of this campaign squarely.
In that fashion he has made his record
both as a public servant and as a pri-
vate business man."
Viewing Mr.. Frelinghuysen's change
as frankly political move to improve
his chances Of nomination and of elec-
ton If nominated" says the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin, Ibis present atti-
tude indicates he believes wetness. even
to the extent of supporting repeal. to
be politically wise in New Jersey today,
view which neither current poll nor
IkkO1Vluudl UDoCIfublOk1 C1tdl1CA1HCc. x1ub
there are other considerations in the
choice Of United States Senator that
ought to have quite as much appeal to
the citizen as the stand taken on pro-
hibition, particularly when 1t Is only
the present landing Of a flip-dop."
"A sudden and somewhat weird re-
versal Of opinion" is the view expressed
by the Birmingham News in considering
the attitude of Mr.. Frelinghuysen, while
that paper adds as to the New Jersey
campaign: "Of the records of the two
men for efficient public service Mr.. Nor
rows is easily the more arresting. His
work in Mexico and at London reveals
the man. That work alone overshadows
the long record of severely modified
craftsmanship made by his rich and
respectable opponent. Though formerly
in the Senate, Mr.. Frelinghuysen Is
practically unknown to the country.
Though not yet elected to the Senate,
Mr.. Morrow is admittedly one of the
country's universally recognized men Of
real distinction"
The Spokane Spokesman-Review
holds that the former Senator's theory
of national control of liquor cant en-
dure analysis It finds objections to
its conclusion that under this theory
"Uncle Sam will have to monopolize the
traffic in every detail-take over and
run the brewerieS, the distilleries and
the wineries, manufacture the stuff and
sell the stuff"

In looking over an anthology of mod
ern verse, what struck us mostly was
the necessity the average reader has OF
revising his own ideas of poetry.
Here were representative efforts OF
choice group of young poets, ranging
all the way from the poem which is
typical poetry of the older school TO the
''modernistic" bit which many readers
will be inclined to think nothing but a
hodge-podge.
After all, what does this average
reader think of when he thinks OF
poetry?
If he is past the age of 80 years, no
doubt he will think of Tennyson, OF
Homer, of Longfellow, of Browning;
maybe of Walt Whitman.
He has, in other words, a definite
picture in his mind Of something which
fits a general style trend, as diffuse and
different as the resulting word products
may be, as far different as Whitman
and Tennyson are.
Now. this average reader of whom we
speak is very likely not TO be so broad
minded; perhaps he will insist that
Tennyson is the perfect poet, and that
verse is either good or bad as 1t ap-
proaches or recedeS from the Victorian
model.
Though some may doubt it, there are
hundreds of readers in this country
who honestly believe that Longfellow is
the ideal poet. To them his Psalm OF
Life" is perfection.
Those who take the opposite view
point declare that merely pretty" verse
is no poetry at all. They want the
muscle and sinews of life. Somehow
the hard and the angular appeals to
them
This is the mental counterpart of the
physical revulsion which the typical
preachers son of fact and fable feels for
the higher things of life. He is not
bad because of innate sin, but largely
because he has lived too long in the
atmosphere of the good. Sanctity has
weighed upon his soul until he finds
nothing to do but to "cut loose"
The vitality of poetry perhaps has
never been better demonstrated than
during the past decade, in an era when
the machine is taking an alarming
domination over the lives and affairs OF
men.
In a recent number of the Magazine
of Wall Street there was an interesting
article by Theodore NJ. Knappen, en-
titled THE Machine Turns on It's Mas
Ter, ana the question was asked, rs
industry in danger of becoming a VIC
tim of its own mechanical efficiency?"
1t seems to many a man nowadays
who in effect stands somewhat outside
this conflict, being engaged in profes-
sional work, that not only industry but
the body, mind and soul of man him.
self is in danger of becoming the victim
of mechanical efficiency.
The repose of the soul demands peace
and quiet, and the machine is noisy
The spirit of man asks for freedom from
worry, and the machine has not been
made by man which will not now and
then demand an expert attention which
the maker, not the owner, alone can
give it.

Poetry, divine aid to the human spirit

times slightly appalling creations of an
other side of the complexity called man
Poetry today has many more sides

Children Should Be
Taught Obedience
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue of Saturday, May 3.
appears, under the column This and
That" by Charles z. Tracewell, one OF
the best articles that have read on
the subject of obedience to law. l wish
that the entire article might be broad
cast over a nationwide hook-up. His
suggestion in regard to the teaching of
the history and meaning of laws to our
school children is most valuable, and l
wish some campaign could be started
that would bring that idea to pass.
Mr.. Tracewen Is to be congratulated
for writing such sane suggestion Tor
bringing about respect for and obedi-
ence to laws.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Garden.
Here in the garden comes a perfume
sweet
As wind-swept blooming hutters to my
feet.
The hyacinths the same bright color

That marked them year by year, since
long ago.
The flowers are like affections which
appear
With new reminders that are ever dear,
And every year the thought returns to
me
OF friends who were, and are, and yet
shall be.
