Tom Keady's AllMarines are met

Once the Coast Guard was as

polish acquired since 1929.
That the GuardSmen. who are
confronted at Griffith Stadium in
a benefit game for the unem-
ployed Saturday, are anything
but a set-up is conceded by the
Marines.
On paper, Coach Ready
points out, the Coast Guards
have matched the record Of
his Leathernecks. His Objec-

Tackling and tight defensive
play, more than anything else,
are being stressed by the Ma.
rineS nowadays. The potent
Coast Guard backfield, it is said,
compares favorably with any ever
entering the cup classic and will
be closely watched by the Devil
Dogs.
Since establishing the annual
service classic, curing Coolidge'S
administration, the Marines have

Non Export Basis Wrong
IF it be granted that as a ma
ton our exports must be limited
roughly to the total of our imports,
l do not see why agriculture should
be on q ~nOn-expOrt basis, and indus
try. which has the means of definite
ly. limiting production to domestic
needs, be given q monopoly Of the

/. yet this Is the clear implication
of Mr.. Legge's suggestion il it is to
be carried out, not only for wheat,
but for agricultural products gener-
ally. We would be q nation pro.
ducing only enough food products to
feed our own people. and industry
would monopolize the privilege Of
producing the exportable surplus re-
quired to balance the international
ledger"
Such a policy would make the

under conditions that will permit
both agriculture and industry to sell
in foreign markets, the governor
said.

SHAFER AGREES WITH
LEGGE'S STATEMENTS

Other than to state that he agreed
with Chairman Alexander Legge of
the federal farm board. that 1t Is adj
visable to reduce American wheat
acreage with respect to future crops.
Governor George F. Shafer today
made no comment on the letter adj
dressed to him by Legge yesterday.
He had not received the letter to-
DAY and will have nothing definite to
say regarding it until he has had an
opportunity to study it. His only in
formation this morning regarding
Legge's letter had been received from
press reports. He indicated. however,
that he may have additional sugges-
lions to offer to the farm board after
he has studied Legge's communica-
ton.
: At the. same time. the governor
made it clear that his inquiry to the
farm board on the wheat situation
was not intended as a criticism and
that he Is interested in giving the
board all the cooperation within his
power.
His interest and his inquiry. he said,
were based on the fact that the wheat
market situation is Of more import
ance to the people Of North Dakota
than those Of any other state. A re-
cent survey by the department Of ag-
riculture, he pointed out. showed that
more than 40, 900 900 bushels Of unsold
wheat still are held On North Dakota
farms. an amount far greater than
that held on farms In other major
wheat growing states.

tendency seems for the congestion to
become worse rather than better.
Must Adjust Production
I'VE have asked the growers to CO.
operate with the board to the extent
OF reduction In acreage. this for the
reason that we cannot see how we
can permanently hope to compete In
the export markets on that commod.
ity. with the exception. Of course, of q
comparatively small quantity Of high
protein wheat which will always be
In demand for mixing purposes, with
other wheat producing are.- where
investment In land, taxes, and labor
are much below those prevailing In
this country. It seems to Us that the
solution Of this problem Is to adjust
cur production to domestic demand
plus some Of these premium wheat
just mentioned.
There is no possible solution Of
this problem unless we get the COOPER
aticn o. the growers themselves. No
other industry in the world blindly
produces without any attention to po-
tential market possibilities. In en-
deavoring to obtain equality for agri-
culture. 1t is perhaps essential that
agriculture heed some of the basic
principles Of other industries. Wheat
seems to be in the worst situation Of
any OF our major crops. SO far as the
export market is concerned. but for
tunately there is only q small amount
OF 1t exported on an average.
Asks 10 Per Cent Cut
"Your growers will ask how they
are going to get along with q less
production, but If they can get more
money, and we believe they can, by
raising 4 bushels where they are now
raising 5, why should they destroy
the market by raising the extra
bushel? A 20 pc. cent reduction
would make the tariff fully effective,
but the 10 per cent we r now sug-
costing would In our Judgment put
the trade on q fairly healthy basis.
THE present operations of the
sterilization corporation will un-
doubleday result in their having up
ward Of 100, 1000, 900 bushels of wheat
on hand at the close of this present
season. and II farmers are going
ahead trying to produce an additional
surplus on the basis that some way
will be found to take care Of it on q
fair price level another year. they are
going to be mistaken.
If they will cooperate the stabil-
ization corporation will be justified
in paying storage charges and carry
ing this wheat for a time in the hope
that a crop shortage somewhere In
the world will give them an oppor-
tunity to unload 1t but II on the other
hand. the farmers attitude is to let
George do it all, the natural pro-
cedure would seem to be to dispose
Of this wheat the best they could and
write of the loss but doing this would
probably adversely affect the price of
the 1880 crop. May we have your
cooperation and support in trying to
correct this situation?"
