PLANE LANDED
SHY WHEEL

To discover that the heavy

lost a wheel from the landing

AnacoStia yesterday.
Lieutenant Boyden, on his way
back to Quantico with four en-.
listed Marines as passengers, did

until one of the men called his
attention to it.
He Immediately turned and
headed back to the Air Station
where he made a perfect landing
on one wheel, without injury to
plane or passengers.

Dominion's Drop in Output

Bushels; Russia Uncertain

End of July statistics gathered
by the bureau of agricultural
economics, Department of Agri'
culture, bear out forecasts that
the world wheat crop will be
approximately 250,000.000 bushels
short, as compared with last year,
and explain where and how the
shortage will occur. Eventually
this may have good effect upon
the domestic market.
Unfavorable weather is given
as the primary cause, although
reduced acreage has been a fac
tor.
Larger Than 1929
Canada, Argentina and Aus
&ralia, outstanding wheat-produc'
ing countries, are chiefly reSpon'
sible for the short crop of 1881.
incomplete figures obtained from
Russia also indicate a reduction.
The official summary:
"The world wheat crop seems
likely to be 25O,O0O,OOO to 3OO,-
100000 bushels less than har-
vested in the past season, but
larger than the 1929 crop.
although official estimates
Of the Canadian crop are not
yet available, unofficial eSti-
mates indicate it may be re-
duced by more than 15O,OOO,OOO
bushels. BY reducing acreage,
Argentina and Australia to-
gether may reduce their crops
by close to 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
and some reduction is to be
expected in the Russian crop.
"The Balkan countries also
are harvesting smaller crops.
Many importing countries, on
the other hand, are harvesting
better crops than Of the past
season."
Russia Uncertain
Russia still is. declared to be
~an uncertain factor" The carry
Gver from the yield of the past
season is believed to be large, and
while a larger acreage is said to
have been sown in Russia this
year, wheat experts here believe
ga repetition of the very high
yields of the past season is hardly
to be expected"
The world wheat reports as
assembled by the Department Of
Agriculture are being closely fol-
lowed by Vice President Charles
Curtis, Senator Arthur Capper,
of Kansas, and other Congress
members from the wheat belt, a
section now in dire straits be-
cause of the unprecedented low
prices.
Though as yet he has made no
engagement with members of the
Federal Farm Board for another
conference, the Vice Presidnt is
to go again to that organization
tomorrow or Monday and seek
a more definite announcement of
policy for the unloading of 200,-
= 100000 bushels of wheat pur-
chased and stored by the board
in its "stabilization" move.

market as brOilerS.
Providing that the ration has q
good icrmula and is made of good
ingredients, the big reason for SLOW
growth, lack of uniformity and con-
siderable loss, is the fact that few
people use enough hopper space.
If there are five people in your
family and the table is only large
enough 10 accommodate two, some
body either has to wait good while
or go hungry. The same thing ap-
plies to baby chciks.
Not one broOder house in fifty has
enough hopper space to give the
chicks the right kind of a start and
to give them a chance to grow sat
isfaet0rily. Seven feet Of hopper
space is needed for each hundred
chicks. Less than this will cause
slow growth and increased MORTAL
ity.
Check up on hopper space. BE
sure you have enough and then
watch the chicks grow. But. above
all, don't be guilty Of cruelty to an
imaIs, because that is what lack Of
hopper space really is so far as
baby chicks are concerned.

FARMERS MUST HELP
THEM SELVE

The Federal Farm Board is 10
fairy gOdmOther, warns its chair
man, Alexander Legge, in an infOr-
NAL report on his stewardship. Far
mers must help themselves, he de-
cides, with significant emphasis.
1T would be q wonderful thing, ="
says Mr.. Legge in The Country
Home, "if we could utter a few
magic words and turn all the pump
kins into coaches and al 1.-The wheat
and corn and beans and cotton and
cattle into gold. But there is no
hope for that kind of farm relief"
A great and powerful government
has put its strength behind a move
ment to settle the farm problem and
has backed that plan with fund of
half q billion dollars. What has the
Farm Board done with that money?
And what has it been able to do for
the farmer? And what does it hope
to do?
Mr.. Legge started out about Is
months ago with two or three clear
facts. He believed, for instance,
that the wheat farmers troubles
came from the fact that he produced
too much wheat; in other words, he
was being destroyed by his unstable
surplus. Since that time, the sur
plus has grown steadily, until today
the surplus is enormous, not only in
this county, but all over the world.
After Is months, Mr.. Legge finds
only one possible solutiOn-by or
ganizatiOn of farmers for restriction
Of product and improved marketing.
Probably Il lot of people will threw
up their hands and say, For Lords
sake, you don't plan to start more
farmers organizations! Haven't the
farmers got enough organizations al
reay"?
The answer, of course, is yes.
plenty! If all the farm organization
secretaries were to come to Wash
ington in body and march four
abreast past the Capitol, the parade
would be hours in passing. Never
-heless, they are not yet as effective
rs they should be. and farmers do
not support them on 100 per cent ,
basis. viii the farmers join? That, |
according to Mr.. Lcgge. is the vital
question, and on its answer hinges
he success of the Farm Boards eff
lorts.

A Fathers Legacy
A Fable OF COnientnuent

A certain man, not rich as the
world counts riches, had two chill
dren whom he loved dearly, and for
whom he craVed the best that life
has to offer.
Since | cannot buy beautiful
things for YOU" he told them, a lit
tie sadly, Il shall try to teach you
to see and love Beauty wherever it
exists in the world around you"
So lie walked with them in the
| woods and fields and by the river
side, and showed them many mar
Yels which they had looked at. hut
had never really seen before the
silver sheen of young oats; the in
tricatCly-woven cradle of the Oriole;
; the bark of the Grape myrtle, tinted
like old ivory; the slender sickle of
the day-Old moon.
The childrens playthings, too,
were lovely things; mussel shells,
lined with mother-Of-pearl; chaplets
strung of polished ruby and amber
seeds; the flowers and grasses that
Ride away from careless, trampling
feet.
I'VE have few coins in our purse"
the father would say, but see the
silver that rims the clouds before
the sun; on the surface of the lake
where the light touches it; on the
under side of the green bay leaf.
Was ever satin soft as the petals of
the wild rose, velvet of so deep Il
pile as that of the mullen leages?"
On winter evenings, the three
found pictures in the embers, or
talked intimately of the friends in
the old books upon the shelves
shabby, but priceless. Best of all,
they played the dictionary game,
that made words come alive.
In the .fullness of time, the father
was called away. One who named
herself a friend came to condole
and advise. 81 wish he had left you
a large, fine home like mine," she
said.
Our house seems large to u.s." the
daughters replied, for it holds so
many things of value"
But" the visitor objected, you .
have no handsome furniture nor sill /
yer, no fine paintings on the walls"
Your pictures are but copies"
the younger girl said. Our western
windows frame the originals of Tur-
ner's most gorgeous sunsets; oaks
such as Rousseau loved to paint;
landscape lovelier than COrot's mas
terpiece. On the sycamore by our
gate you may see mosaics more mar
velous than the rarest product of
Byzantine art"
"YOu talk nonsense" retorted the
one petulantly, as SHE
rose to go. "At least you will admit
that legacy of money would have
made you happy-comfOrted you in
Did age"
The older daughter looked at the
caller in amaZement, as she opened
he door. MY sister and l are very
happy" she said softly, land richer
han anyone we know. When we
we're but small children our father
'Ound for us the pot of gold at the
DOT of the rainbow. columbia
