But one equally interesting item b


 not shown by the above statistics that the acreage sown to wheat in 1929 eclipsed the acreage of the four previous years by comfortable margin. The acreage in 1929 was 6i, 900, 000-and this after a year in which wheat on December 1 was be- low the dollar level! In 1928 tho acreage was 5S,000,000.
 It is therefore of small moment to say that the total of wheat to be planted this spring will be affected by the price obtained. At least. not if he is guided by the same philoso- phy as last year.
 There is also little to be gained in criticising the cost to the people as a whole in stabilizing the wheat prices-as far as possible-with their money. As long as it is consid- tlCu JuSt tO SldblliEC lhu h ltlt the protective tariff-sometimes ap- piled much higher than is necessary then it is equally important to ex- tend aid to agriculture. At least President Hoover thought so when he accepted the Republican nomin- ation. At that time he made the following statement, which since then has not been recanted:
 Projection has been made that this program (of farm relief) '. may require that several hundred million dollars of capital be advanc- ed by the federal government with out obligation upon the individual farmer. With that objection l have little patience. A nation which is spending ninety billions a year can well afford a few hundred million that will give to one third of its population their full share of the nations prosperity"

WAGE INCREASE

Administration Antagonists to
Federal Raises Stand BY
Guns; Senate to Junk Rider

The bitter row over the "rider"
sponsored by Representative Wood
(R.) Of Indiana, eliminating from
the general supply bills all salary
increases for Federal clerks in
1882, again continues in both
wings Of the Capitol today.
The Government workers al
ready have won the powerful
Senate Appropriations Committee
to their support and it is taken
for granted that the Wood amend
ment will be rudely tossed into
the scrap heap when it reaches
general debate in the Senate
either today or tomorrow.
Wood Backers Obdurate
In the House the Administra-
ton leaders who '4put over" the
Wood rider in the Treasury-Post-
office bill are standing doggedly
by their guns, despite the short
shrift given their scheme by the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, are expected to repeat their
victory Of last week when the
Interior Department bill reaches
q vote today.
Representative LaGuardia (R)
of New York is not so sure, how
ever, that the Wood amendment
will survive the test of a yea-and-
nay vote in the House a second
time. He is inclined to believe
that many members will change
their stand today and vote against
it, especially as many protests
have reached them from Federal
workers in their own constituent
cies.
Service Bill Threatened
The H o uss Appropriations
Committee will be challenged to-
day by Representative La
Guardia to insert the Wood
''rider" in the Army and Navy
supply bills, thus eliminating all
service increases Of salary during
the coming fiscal year.
It was pointed out. today that
If the House Appropriations Com
mittee does not recede from its
present policy, all Of the meas
ures intended to equalize Army
and Navy pay, which are
urgently needed by the services,
will be jeopardized, and even the
