FEDERAL FARM
CHIEFS DEFEND
WHEAT BUYING
Stone. and Legge Speakers
at Insurance and Loan
Convention.

Defense of the federal farm board
and its subsidiary corporation, the
grain marketing corporation, was
the theme of addresses by James
c. Stone, president of the board,
and Alexander Legge, former pres
ident, at a meeting of insurance and
trust company farm loan repre-
sentatives from four states Wednes-
day night at the Claypool.
The conference was called by
Frank c. Evans of Evans-Devore
Company, financial correspondents
for the Mutual Benefit Life Insur-
ance Company, Newark, N. j., who
presided over the meeting.
Stone defended the fact that the
board had purchased millions of
bushels of wheat to keep up its
price and now mas the wheat
stored away in elevators.
Before we started buying wheat
we knew there were between thirty
and forty million bushels used as
security for mortgages. by banks
which might be dumped on the
market at any time, he asserted. If
we had not bought wheat when we
did, and the price had gone down
2 cents a bushel, it might have
ruined the entire financial structure
of the country"
Legge defended the farm boards
proposal for curtailed production.
For the past six years, American
farmers have been producing larger
and larger corps of wheat" he said.
There have been innumerable at
tacks against the farm board for it's
suggestions that acreage be reduced,
but in industry if a. manufacturer
has warehouse full Of finished
product and knows there will be a
demand for only certain quantity,
he does not Immediately man
ufacture enough to fill another
warehouse" Legge declared.
At the afternoon session at the
Columbia Club. Arthur M. Hyde,
secretry of agriculture, pointed out
that the farmer has become efficient
in production, but has not mastered
the other functions of industry,
planning and merchandising.
Pointing out that there has been
gradual transition from the self
contained farm, which produced
most of its needs to the present
day farming methods, Hyde said:
when mother started to buy bread,
farming entered the field of in
dustry."

Revenues Left Out

BY so doing he knocked out the
principal point upon which Green
field had based a motion to dismiss.
This was that Stout was no longer
in the picture, since the properties
had been sold.
Another dismissal point was that
the commission has no power to
order abandonment, which was
argued briefly by the attorneys.
George Barnard, insult attorney,
cited a supreme court decision up
holding common jurisdiction and
pointed out that the commission
always had accepted jurisdiction in
such matters.
1t was disclosed that the substi-
futon of the Indiana Railroad for
the T. H., E. & E. leaves out Of con-
sideration all revenues which &C
crued to the latter from the Terre
Haute Traction and Light Com
pany, a good revenue maker.

DICKERING WITH
STATE is Barred
IN insult DEAL
Greenfield Line Proposal
Revealed at HeariEss on
Abandonment
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY

How public service commissioners
have co-operated with the insult
interests in the Greenfield traction
abandonment case was revealed to-
day by Commissioner Jere West,
who is presiding at the hearing on
the amended petition for abandon
ment.
The petition is being opposed Wig
orously by the Greenfield city adj
ministration, but until today Green
field officials were not aware fully
OF what was going on, it was dis
closed.
For West revealed for the first
time that the commission ordered
Elmer Stout, T. H., I. g. E. receiver,
to file the amended petition, based
on information relayed to the COM
mission by Robert M. Feustel, TT.
Wayne, insult Indiana chieftain.
Petition Is Secret
The information was in the form
of a letter addressed to the COM
mission and written by Feustel on
June H. In it he set out that
subsidiary Of the Midland United
Company, insult owned, would bid
on the T. H. 1. g. E. Richmond
route and, if successful, would seek
to abandon the line from Indian
apolis to Dunreith
Another thing the Greenfield at
torneys claim they learned about
for the first time today was the in
PRODUCTION of a petition by the IN
sui people transferring the action
from Stout to the Indiana railroad,
insult purchaser of the line.
West and the David Watson, one
Of the insult attorneys, insisted,
however, that the matter had been
discussed with William Hough, at
torney for Greenfield.
Whether it was or not, West i'm
mediately ruled that the Indiana
railroad petition would be substi-
tuted for that of the T. H. I. g. E.
receiver.

more unsettled the oil group, with
Gulf easing fractionally to new
low ground, and members of the
Standard group following suit.
In the speciality group the only
price change of note was a 4-point
drop in Great Atlantic and Pa
cific Stores to 217, but when
studied closely such fluctuations
carry little significance. Yester-
day it recorded a gain of points
on a single 30-share transaction,
and today it gave it up on 20

Ice. Examiners Recommend
Dismissal Of Suit by Ohio
and Pennsylvania Miners

Pennsylvania and Ohio bitumin-
Gus coal producers today appar-
emily lost their fight to secure a
larger differential on shipments
on lake cargo coal.
Examiners Of the commission
recommended the commission to
hold that freight rates on such
coal from mining districts in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Ken
tuCky and Tennessee to Lake
Erie. ports for transshipment by
vessels, are not unduly prejGdi-
ctal or preferential.
Dismissal Recommended
They also recommended h t
the complaints brought by the
Ohio lake cargo coal rate CON-
mittee and others be dismissed
The lake cargo rate structure
has been before the commission
periodically for many years in
various proceedings. The eXamin-
erS said:
"The market for bituminOuS
coal is keenly competitive. This
condition has recently become
more acute because of the an
roads on the coal market by
gas and hydrO-electric power.
The lake cargo business is
of great Importance to both
the complainants and their
southern competitors. 1t moves
for the most part during the
period from April l to Decem.
ber l, thus furnishing a sum-
mer market and permitting the
continued operation of the
mines during the slack season."
Operators Own Docks
They pointed out that the Lake
Superior and Lake Michigan
docks. from which lake cargo
coal is sold in the Northwest. are
to considerable extent. owned
or controlled by the mine opera
tors and that more docks are
controlled by Northern than by
Southern operators.
The latter, however, handle
much greater volume of coal as
compared with their total ton
mage.

FARMERS HOPE
To GUT CROP
COSTS
Employ Less Labor, Report
Shows, But Plan to Make
Production About Normal

Farmers are going ahead with
a normal program of production,
despite a number of difficulties
that confront them, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics said today
in its monthly survey.
The various changes in crop
acreages from last year repre-
sent a readjustment in line with
price conditions and with greater
feed requirements rather than
any let-down in the general pro-
gram.
Employ Less Labor
Unusual efforts by farmers to
produce a low-cost crop this year
are reported from many States.
There has been less than the
usual seasonal improvement in
the demand for farm labor in
many sections.
Not the least significant feature
Of the situation is the evidence
of further decline in land values
last year. Many observers now
believe that values are tending to
stabilize. the department said.
Values at Low Point
Reports show considerable
activity among those buying and
selling farms, as there is a grow
ing belief that values have reached
a low point where good invest
ments may be made.
Most of the sales, however, are
by corporations and others who
acquired ownership as a result of
distressed conditions,

Wheat was lower in early trad

pool was 3s to l2c lower.
Corn opened unchanged to 12c
