 Taxes now become due July 1 and the full amount must be paid within one month. On August l, de- linquency tax of nine per cent goes on the amount unpaid, increasing to a maximum of 12 per cent.

PRESIDENT KEEPING
OUT OF WHEAT ROW
Farm Board to Handle Situa-
ton Caused by Slump
in Price.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover is leaving the situa-
ton created by the slump in wheat
prices to the Federal Farm Board.
He intends to take no action, 1t Is
announced at the White House, beyond
comforting with Chairman Legge and
other members Of the board as occasion
demands.
The President was represented as
feeling the board was created by Con-
rreSs and its members given the task
of dealing with agricultural crises, and
that action should be left to them.
Hope Bread Price Drops.
The board was hopeful today that
the demand of Samuel r. McKelvie,
member representing wheat, for lower
prices would have a beneficial effect
upon the wheat market.
A cut in the retail price of bread,
McKelvie asserted, would serve to stlmu-
late consumption, with the latter factor
reflected in an increased price for wheat.
Today was the first anniversary OF the
boards initial meeting. Out OF its au-
thorized S500,000,000 revolving fund, 1t
invested during the year S195 100000 IN

Some 100000 bushels of wheat
were put back into the market last
week, with the announcement an iden-
tical quantity of the 1880 crop was be-
ing purchased to Offset the release OF
this grain.
Throughout the year the board has
been the target of much adverse criti-
cism from members of Congress and
others, with its dealings in the grain

orous attack. 1t has been stanchly de-
Tended by friends of the administration.
