SEC. HYDE HITS
/. FARM CRITICS
HIGH Low Last

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 26.
Scoring those who offer imprac-
ticaI theories for the farmer and
impossible solutions" for his prob
lens, which only complicate the
formidable situation, Secretary Of
Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde de-
clared here today that every far
mer must be world-minded today
and consider crops in universal
terms, instead of national figures,
if "the farm problem" is to be
solved.
Those who maintain that it is
the duty of the farmer to express
himself in the largest possible
production" are all wrong, said
the Secretary, in an address be-
for the Indiana State Board of
Agriculture here.
The idea that the farmer who
makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before" and that
he has not only the right, but
the duty to produce as much OF
the crops as large acreage, Scien-
tific methods and his best efforts
will permit" is illogical and un.
workable, said Mr.. Hyde. And
when Government has done all it
can do, the final solution of the
problems still rests with the far
mer. and farmers must organize" !"
he added.

WHEAT FARMS
GUT COSTS

American wheat farmers are 4e-
ducing production costs to meet
current low prices, and a large por.
ton of the 1881 crop should oe
marketed profitably despite unsat-
isfactory quotations, according 80
the Union Trust Company OF
Cleveland.
In a survey Of the wheat outlook
it is pointed out that the chal-
lenge to agriculture is comparable
with the challenge to industry,
and that increased efficiency is
the only saving solution.
Soviet Russia, with its rising
output and export Of wheat, is the
uncertain factor in the world
wheat situation, the bank says,
adding that American wheat out
put conceivably may have to be
largely adjusted to a purely domes-
tic demand. Estimated world
wheat output for 1881 is 1881 200
bushels against ,749,000,000 in
1880,

in these cities from 1925 to 1929,
but the yardage of Portland
cement pavement increased by
half during the period, and its
share in the total pavement grew

28.5 per cent in 1929.

naming one-twelfth of the total
pavement laid in the .201 cities,
decreased one-third in yardage
and declined in relative import
ance from 1913 per cent in 1925

Bureau of Mines to the city engi-
neers, superintendents of high
ways or corresponding officials of
23O municipalities with popula-
tions exceeding 10000, regarding
the area of each type of pave
ment laid in their respective
cities for the five years ended

poses of the inquiry were received

gregate population of 42,376,0 900
in 1890. The cities included in
the survey accordingly comprise

NEW YORK, June 26 0.N.SD .
The New York cotton market con,
tinued its rise during the fore
noon trading today, after an open
ing IN which prices were prac-
tically unchanged.
The market moved UP about a
dollar a bale, influenced by the
strong action on the stock market.
A good demand from the trade in
the way of price-fixing by foreign
and domestic spinners came into
the cotton ring to offset scattered
liquidation for over the weekend.
Japanese interests bought March.
At midday July sold at $685.,
up %; October at 1885, up 81; De-
cember at 1889, upp 20; January
at 10.71, up 21;. March at 10.88,
up 20, and May at lilo, up %.

The expansion of city street
paving which characterized the 10
years ended December 81, 1929,
reached it's climax in 1927. with
decreases reported for 1928 and
1929, according to a survey of
201 representative cities made by
A. H. Redfield, of the United
States Bureau of Mines.
The upward trend, followed by
a decline, was general in cities
of all sizes included in this study
but was most pronounced in
cities Of 10000 to 100000 inhabi.
tants and in the Northeastern.
Southeastern and Southwestern
States. In the North-C Central
States the trend of paving was
downward from 1925 to 1929; in
the Pacific and Rocky Mountain
States it was generally upward.
BituminOus Favored
Over the United States as a
whole, bituminous types of paw
ing continued to lead, furnishing
two-thirds of the total street paw
ing laid in the 201 cities from
1925 to 1929. The actual yard
age of bituminous pavement laid
in these cities, however, was 3.S
per cent less in 1929 than in
1925, and the ratio of bituminous
pavement to the total pavement
dropped from 70.4 per cent In
1925 to 62.1 per cent, in 1928,
rising to $751; per cent in 1929.
The area paved with Portland
cement concrete amounted to one

Sulphur Production
In. Shipn1ents DOuUn

With a production of 1858, ,981
long tons, sulphur output in the
United States reached new high
levels in 1880, according to the
United States Bureau of Mines.
This is an increase of 8 per cent
over the output of 1852, ,389 tons
in 1929, the former record year.
Shipments decreased, however,
from 2,437, 1888 tons, valued at ap-
proximately $43,800,0oO, in 1929,
to 1,989,917 tons, valued at $685.
100000, in 1880, or declines of Is
per cent in both quantity and
value. The large decrease is due
principally to a decrease in eX-
ports from 855,1S3 tons in 1929 to
593,312 tons in 1880, drop of 81
per cent.

UPTURN LISTED
BY RESERVE

The Federal Reserve Board in
its monthly review reports in
dustrial production during May
was maintained at about the
same level as in April. Employ
ment was less by the usual sea-
sonal amount.
There was an increase of 9
per cent for May in the volume
of industrial production as COM
pared with that for December,
1880, when in the opinion of
many reliable statisticians the
bottom of the present depression
was reached. The report says:
"The volume of industrial
production as measured by the
boards seasOnally adjusted in
dex, was about the same in
May as in April, 9 per cent
larger than in December, and
ii per cent smaller than in
May, $780,"
The boards index of factory
employment for May as COM
pared with April shows increases
by groups in a greater number
of cases than decreases.
Increases in output were re-
corded for the textile, leather
and shoe cement and tobacco
manufactures industries.
