APPARENT RETIREMENT PLAN
O FLEECE IS NOT CONFIRMED
Shilling, McKeIvie, and league
Also Scheduled to Retire
During Year

Washington, Feb. 18.-RJ-Every-
thing in connection with the reported
resignation of Chairman Legge from
the farm board March 4 appears
about correct, but the information
still is entirely unofficial.
At the white house Tuesday it was
said the president has received no
notice of Mr.. Legge's intention to
retire on that date and the chairman
was represented at the board as mot
having the slightest idea when he will
quit"
Personally, Legge neither affirms
nor denies the report.
Two months ago a trade news let
ter suggested that the chairman
might retire after congress adjourned
March 4. knowledge that Legge has
been wanting to return to his per-
sonal business and had accepted the
reappointment only with the under
standing that he could retire at the
first opportunity, gave credence to
the suggestion.
Some do not expect the president
to make further demands upon Legge,
feeling he already has given literally
Of his time. Others seem to believe
Mr.. Hoover may seek his services fur
ther.
Legge always has run his own
show" He has issued only two or
three statements at the suggestion OF
the president and never, say farm
board attaches, has been asked. to
submit his plans before acting upon
them. His friends say he has had
the presidents support at every turn.
BY those who expect early retire.
ment 1t is held significant that Vice
Chairman Stone recently has presid-
ed at all board meetings even with
the chairman present, and that Stone
has been shouldering wide response
bilities. 1t q said at the board that
Legge has recommended to the presi-
dent that Stone become chairman. in
event of his retirement.
An associate board member said
Tuesday II Legge did not retire
March 4, his withdrawal might be
expected soon after. He viii have
served a complete second year If he
remains until June Is.
Other scheduled departures from
the board also hardly . be called
designations. The term Of william F.
Shilling, representative daily indus
tries. expires June Is, as does that OF
Samuel McKelvie, representing wheat.
lC. G. league, representing fruits and
vegetables. is serving under reap
pointment which he. like the chair
man, agreed to providing he might
retire at an opportune time.

AID FROM TERMINAL
ASSOCIATION SOUGHT
BY north DAKOTANS
Headquarters Considering Move
to Suggest Reduction, 1t
Is Announced

Co operative Organizations
Hesitate to Request Too
Radical a Crop Cut
WOULD RESTORE PREMIUMS

st. Paul, Feb. ia movement has
been started by the Newborg town.
ship, Bottineau county, Farmers
Union, suggesting that farmers of
the spring wheat area of North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana and
Minnesota, reduce their spring wheat
acreage for the 1881 crop by 80 per
cent.
Assistance of the Farmers Union
Terminal association officials is re-
uaested in having the Farmers Union
organizations of the Northwest pre-
pare an agreement to get the farmers
of the various communities to cut
their acreage by approximately a
third" The Farmers Union weekly
agricultural review says, THE heads
Of the Farmers Union business or
ganizations Of the northwest arc
heartily in accord with a program
which will reduce wheat acreage and
cut down production Of surplus
wheat.
THE Farmers Union Terminal as
ISOLATION has under consideration
steps to be taken in advising a re-
duction in the wheat acreage pro-
gram. There is some hesitation on
the part Of cooperative farm organi-
cations in the northwest to request
the farmers of the spring wheat area
to curtail their wheat production too
radically, when a reduction of acre
age and yield would mean that the
farmers of the winter wheat sections
would be the first to benefit by such
reduction as that crop is harvested
before the spring wheat crop and the
winter wheat acreage was reduced
only about l per cent in the plant
ings Of the fall of 1880.
However, if the spring wheat acre
age would be substantially reduced
there undoubtedly would be a keen
or demand for the high protein con-
tent spring wheat and high premiums
probably would be restored. High
protein spring wheat is needed to mix
and blend with winter wheat to pro-
duce quality flour. A shortage Of
srring wheat might restore a large
percentage of the premium prices
which formerly were paid for spring
wheat. the premiums for high pro-
tein wheat in some years being as
high as so cents a buShel.
"On this basis, the Farmers Union
Terminal association believes that
there would be a real benefit to the
spring wheat producer to substantial
ly reduce acreage

declared in q statement here Tuesday.
Miller, here for the hearing Mon
i day IN the feasibility Of river nsvi.
| cation in this area, said the 40O-mile
stretch from the mouth Of the Mis-
souri, near st. Louis to Kansas CITY
will be completed this year and barge
traffic will begin in 1882. He pre-
dicted a heavy volume OF business for
that area.
Work OF a second project from
Kansas City to Sioux City, Iowa al
ready has been authorized and money
appropriated, he said. This, also, is
about 400 miles. Construction of a
channel in the upper river, from
Sioux City to Bismarck, a distance of
about 800 miles, should follow, Mill
e. said. All plans call for a six-foot
channel at normal low water.
Interests on the lower river are In
favor Of extending the work upstream
as rapidly as possible. Miller said, be-
cause Of the mutual benefits to be
derived.
Outlining the stages through which
the upper river project must pass
before work actually is started, Mill
er said the report of the hearing here
will be submitted to the division en-
gineer. He, in turn, will report to
the chief engineer and the chief en-
gineer to the board Of rivers and har-
bors engineers. This body will decide
II a complete survey is advisable. II
such a survey is made its findings
will be reported to congress for ac-
ton.
Barges now in use on the MISSISSIPPI

feet long. Miller said, and have q Ca
pacity up to 1000 tons. They COM

have a capacity Of 5000 tons.
The estimate on the reduction in
export shipping costs was based on
current freight rates by rail and wa
ter to Liverpool, England. which were
placed at AZ cents per 100 pounds now
as compared with a probable rate Of
81 cents If handled by barge to New
Orleans and trans-shipped there.
Because OF the cheapness Of ocean
travel, 1t was pointed out, the cost
Of ocean haulage to Liverpool is only
two cents greater from New Orleans
than from Montreal, Canada. despite
the big difference in distance.
