For many years we have witnessed

larly disastrous prices for cotton A
few have been successful in moderate
degree. but usually they have not
brought the desired results namely. q

and consequent rise in the price Of
cotton"
Are we to continue to witness such
attempts?" he continued, when 1t is
proved time and again that when the
reduction is left to the voluntary action
of the individual farmers that they, in
turn, leave 1t to the neighbors. who
are as likely to expand their acreage
as they are curtan 1t?
IT, for one, have reached the con-
clusion that the only way we are likely
to attain the goal for which we have
been striving-the control of acreage,
and therefore, to a certain extent. the

MONTAGU NORMAN
SAILS FOR CANADA
Bank of England Governor
Says Trip Is for "ReSt"

LONDON, August 15.-Montagu Nor
man, Great Britain's man Of mystery
and governor of the Bank of England
today dropped pressing work on the
problem of solving Great Britain's
economic difficulties and boarded the
steamer Duchess of York at Southamp-
ton for Canada.
A formal statement issued later by
the Bank Of England said its governor
was acting on medical advice and would
have to have period Of complete quiet
and freedom from work to enable him
to resume his full duties at the bank.
Mr.. Norman. on leaving the docks
at Southampton, said he hoped Ito get
bit Of rest"
II feel the need of it." he said, ''for
I have had a very hard time lately and
| have not been SO well as should like
to be-"
Although there have been reports
he had been Ill, the bank heads de-
parture caused considerable surprise
in view Of the critical British economic
situation and the important discussions
between financiers and cabinet mem
bers which are impending.
THE governor Of the Bank of Eng
land has been indisposed," the state
ment issued by the band said, "as a re-
suit Of the exceptional strain to which
he has been subjected during recent
months"
Acting on medical advice, he has
abandoned all work for the present and
has gone abroad for rest and change
He has been assured that a period of
complete quiet and entire freedom
from work should be sufficient to enable
him to renew his full normal duties at
the bank"

the latter Is under way, and it Is pro-
posed to break ground for the st.
Elizabeth job this week.
Two Other Projects.
The concern has q nurses home at
Gallinger about 80 per cent complete,
and an addition at Stuart Junior High
at about the same stage Of completion,
but both Of these contracts were under
taken prior to the passage OF the new
wage law.
Hunt would not say exactly what
scale his concern Is paying any of the
building tradesmen, but declared 1t was
"just about the wage that the District
Government pays at its repair shop for
the same classes of work. He explains
this by saying that in some cases the
scale runs above the District rate and
in others below.
He understands, he said, that the
Government pays its own tradesmen-
such, for instance, as men who do work
around here for the War Department
on a par with District employees.
He admits that his workers get less
than the unions scale. Says he thinks
the Government would do well to stay
out of this"
A prevailing scale" clause is written
into the st. Elizabeth's job contract.
W. B. Acker, chief clerk Of the Depart
ment Of the Interior, which has super
vision over this work, says that the de-
partnent does not attempt to say what
the prevailing scale" should be. There
the attitude is that this question is be-
tween employer and employe and,
should dispute occur, is up TO the Labor
Department.
The Interior Department is embark
ing on $4,000 900 building program at
St Elizabetn's, but only the tuberculosis

4,OOO. 900 To Ralsin Growers.


The Farm Board announced August
that 1t was extending financial assist
ance to Sun-Maid Raisin Growers of
California and the California Raisin
Pool in handling the 1891 raisin crop.
The assistance to those two organizs-
tons will amount to approximately
81 900. 600. At that time, the fact
no mention was made OF Fruit Indus
tries, Ltd, gave rise to reports the
board had turned It down and would
not advance further funds an account
OF the protests of dryS.
The Department of Agriculture some
weeks ago made a preliminary estimate
that the California grape crop would
be 500 600 tons or 100000 tons below
the crop Of last year. II remains TO
be seen whether the results of the
pending survey will approximate this
estimate.
Increased attention has lately been
called to the success Of Fruit Industries,
Ltd, in getting Federal assistance, not
alone BY the attacks of drys on fruit
juice manufacturers but bv the recent
raid OF prohibition officials in New York
on the shop of a concern selling So
called wine brick

prove that grape concentrate concerns
