conference at Rome last March
McKelvie said 1t was because 1t did
not want to lead American farm
ers to believe they could compete
in the world market at current
price levels. He pointed to the
government : supported spread OF
about 20 cents a bushel between
Chicago and Liverpool values as
indicative of the benefit of an AM
erican market for American pro-
ducts.
1t was explained at Board head
quarters that in the campaign to
adjust domestic production to con-
sumption the Board never had lost
sight OF the necessity for export
ing some wheat.
II would be impractical. II was
said. to set ar arbitrary figure for
domestic consumption and ask
farmers to produce no more nor no
less.
The blunt domestic basis" ad-
vocated by Alexander Legge, for
mer chairman. did not carry to the
public mind the qualifications i'm
posed by weather and the chang
ing food. feed and seed require
ments.
The program to put American
production on a domestic consump-
ton basis. It was said, embraced
full co~ngnizance that no given
acreage win return a constant
yield year after year and that
there must be some wheat carried
over at the end Of each season to
insure against possible crop failure
the next season.
American mills require about 40.-
100000 bushels OF wheat a month
and it would be to endanger the
consumer to wind up the crop year
with empty bins and risk the nee
essity Of importing wheat over high
tariff walls.

SANKEY AND BEAR OPEN N. H. ARENA
 BOXING SEASON
ESPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT

ESPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT
 New Haven, November 10 - The New Haven Arena, long dorm- ant in the boxing world, will see ring action on Friday night of this week with Baby Bear, the flashy negro brought north by Senator Harry Durant, meeting Harry San- key, of New York, in the feature bout of 10 rounds.
 Matchmaker Tony Paolillo an- nounced the meeting of the pair as his first move for a return of boxing to the Arena and at the Joe Oliver and Romeo Dubois, both of New Haven, for the semi final of eight rounds.
 Oliver, in his last meeting with Du Bois, scored a knockout victory and the superiority between the two has been a matter of argument ever since. Some claimed that Du Bois was the victim of lucky punch. All efforts to get them to- gether again failed until Paolillo, newly installed sthe Arena matchmaker, went to work on them.
 Return Bout
 The meeting of Sankey and Bear looms as a highly interesting one. Sankey put. 1t over on the Bear in a six rounder some time ago, short ly after the colored boy had arr rived in New Haven. That was his only defeat. At that time he wasn't acclimated, was poorly handled, and had not reached fighting form. Now, after getting used to the north and under fine handling - Senator Durant still has him under his wing but has new handling board = the Bear has been going great guns. Since the change he was won in every one. of his l starts and Is looked upon now as one of the best featerweight pros poets seen around here in some time. He is aiming at a meeting with Bat Battalino - and if he keeps up his good work that bout isn't far in the offing.
 Sankey will not be any easy op-- ponent for the youthful colored artist. Not rated as hitter with the power of Bear. Sankey Is. nevertheless. an aggressive fighter and a smart boxer. He made a big hit in Connecticut when he scored a victory over Steve Smith and added to his prestige by going ten tough rounds with Kid Chocolate.

Hartford, Nov 1O-Frankie o. Brien, Hartford's fighting Irish man, will meet Odonne Piazzia, recognized as the middleweight champion of Italy, in one of the semi-final battles of the world championship middleweight tour ney which are to be staged at the Auditorium in Milwaukee Novem- Der 19.

 O'Brien received notification yes terday of the match.

 The Hartford middleweight is al- ready in good condition. For the past three weeks he has been talk ing plenty of road work and for the past fortnight he has been box ing every day as well as being on the road.
 O'Brien has been working under the supervision of "Buu' Geoghe- gan, his manager, and Louis Wis., cusi, his trainer. His sparring part ners have been Battling Archie of Waterbury and Willie Ward. Fran kie has not boxed less than seven rounds on any day. Viscusi says that O'Brien is in fine physical condition.

INJURY TO BOOTH
 CROPS UP IN TIME FOR HARVARD TILT

New Haven, Conn, Nov 10.- (UP)-Albie Booth is injured and there is the usual amount of de- ception and conflicting reports about the condition of Yale's prima donna halfback.
 Booth limped off the gridiron Saturday after a pileup in the St Johns game. Saturday night and Sunday the Yale Athletic associa- ton made light of the injury. "Albie will be out for practice on Monday" said the A. A. spokes- man.
 Reports circulated, neverthe eless. that Booth had been seen on crutches. Other reports said he was not on crutches but his knee was bandaged. Booth was not ''out for practice Monday" and last night the athletic association issued another staetment in which it was said "he will be ready to take part in the practice later in the week"
 On the Shelf?
 Unfortunately, Head Coach Nal Stevens, who is physician, let fall a statement himself-to the effect the Yale captain would be out for two weeks.
 Since Yale meets Harvard in its objective game November 21 and Booth, probably the most publl- cized halfback, has yet to win from the Crimson, the matter of his injury assumes importance in the eyes of Lale and Harvard fol- lowers.

Stanford Wins Another Close Tilt
 The Stanford array held on to it's leadership of the Knights of Lith- uania Community Basketball League, when 1t scored it's fifth close verdict of the season, defeat ing Cornell 16 to 13 in hard struggle. Both teams fought hard with Cornell leading at half time 5 to 4, but the Stanford quintet spurted a rally in the closing min- utes of play to clinch the verdict. Captain Baron and Allie Zubras featured on the offense for Stan- ford, while Adam Alulis, newly elected captain of Cornell team played fine for the losers.
 Holy Cross Swamps Yale
 John Williams Yale Blues were no match for Glenn Balanda and his Holy Cross aggregation, and the former went down to defeat by a tune of 29 to 13. Inspired by the onlooking notables. Judge Edward J. Finn, Deputy Sheriff John Jen- usaitis and Rev John Kripas, the Holy Cross boys started off strong on the offensive and had the Yale team wobbly at the end. Anthony Boley, with 5 field goals and 3 fouls excelled for the winning team.
 Princeton Scores Upset
 Johnny March's Princeton outfit, finally won their first game of the season by scoring an upset over the Notre Dame team, 13 to 9, in the feature tilt of triple header. Notre Dame led at half time 9 to 5, but in the second half Princeton rallied to score points. and to hold Notre Dame score1ess for the remainder of the game. Captain Johnny March and Januskauskas featured for the winning outfit.
