wheat, and the same goes for cot
ton.
The board bought 100000 bales
Of cotton at 1853 cents pound
and cotton has been down around
6 cents. The cotton is being held,
by agreement. until 1888.
The situation became so despe-
rate that at one time the board
suggested that all cotton farm
ers pillow under a third of their
crop. The paper loss" on cotton
was estimated last November at
SIS. 900, 900.
The paper losses" which the
board declines to consider actual
losses until the tabilization OPP
Grafton is completed, may in
crease or decrease with the fluc-
tuation of prices.
The board also lent money on
cotton up to 90 per cent of the
prevailing market price, and has
been faced with loss of $40
100000 in loans not now secured
because OF the great price drop.
THE taxpayer, OF course, is
Il bound TO get it in the neck
and sterilization efforts have been
discredited.
AS President Hoover said, any
such attempt at farm relief as
h. t0stl lyaff ~
would be experimental. The ex-
perimental attempt to buck the
law Of supply and demand dur
ing a period of huge worldwide
agricultural overproduction and
underconsumption, ended disas-
trously.
A tremendous amount of criti-
cism has followed revelation that
two officials of co-operatives
sponsored by the board have been
receiving salaries of $4,000 and
$4,000 a year respectively, with
salaries of other officers in pro-
portion.
The board created-or helped
create-such national Corpora
tives as national sales agencies
for groups of co-operatives asso-
Citations dealing in specific COM
modities.
Those best known are the
Farmers National Grain Cor
poration and the American Cot
ton COOPERATIVE Association.
THROUGH control exercised
Il along with the granting Of
loans, the co-operatives have
come to be regarded as farm
board subsidiaries. Although the
sterilization corporations repre-
sented purely farm board ven-
ture. they were placed in charge
of the two co-operatives.

WASHINGTON. April %. -
w The federal farm board, II
you Judge it by what has hap
pened to the farmer in the nearly
three years since it was appointed
to effect his relief, has been
frightful failure.
Otherwise, IL would not be in
for such intense scrutiny from
congress as it will receive during
the investigation by the senate
agricultural committee.
Battered by a so per cent de-
cline in farm prices since 1929,
by huge SURPRISES in the big
crops. by continued depression
with its effect of lower consump-
ton, by rural bank failures and
drought and other adyersities for
which the farm board hardly can
be blamed, the American farmer
today is far worse of than before
he ever heard of the agricultural
marketing act, which was hailed
as the means of his salvation.
Farm income fell from about
000.O00.000 in 1929 to about
$1,000, 100000 in 1881. Farm prices
stand at about two-thirds the
pre-war level.
MEANWHILE, the farm board
wi has drawn s500,000.000 OF
Uncle Sans money TO improve
marketing conditions, stimulate
and aid co-operatives and, when
the big breaks in wheat and cot
ton came, to plunge into the mar
ket Thorough the Grain Stsbiliza-
ton Corporation and Cotton Sta
bilization Corporation in an effort
TO hold up the price.
The general results are we'll
known. The board bought $780,
100000 bushels of wheat and.
when II made its figures public
last fall. still held 100000
bushels. II paid an average of 81
cents a bushel. Wheat lately has
been selling below 60 cents.
On the first Of last November
the board estimated a paper loss"
of sl02. 000, DOC. Congress has since
voted 100000 bushels of the
wheat for unemployed relief and
a few million bushels have been
sold.

RARE SIGHT TO

Jupiter Without Moons to
Be Spectacle for
Star Gazers.
Es' Science Sevries

"a Science Scrtics
PHILADELPHIA. April 29.-One
OF the rarest OF astronomical spec
tacles-that OF the planet Jupiter
without any moons-will be visible
TO star-gszers equipped with small
telescopes on the evening of Tues
day. May 3.
Jupiter, largest Of the earth's
family Of planets that revolve
around the sun, is provided with
nine satellites, or moons. Of which
four easily are visible through even
a small telescope. These. in the or
der Of distance from Jupiter. are 10,
Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
As they travel in their orbits
around Jupiter, these bodies often
disappear from view. in one Of
three ways. A moon may disappear
behind the planet: 1t may come In
front Of the planet, where its sim
ilarity Of color makes it invisible. or
il may enter the shadow Of Jupiter
j. disappears then because the
moons are seen only by reflected
light. and when this illumination is
cut off. the satellite can not be
seen.
Next Time in 1899
Any Of the four large moons may
so vanish, and every day one or
more do so. It often happens that
two are gone simultaneously. and
occasionally three disappear at once,
leaving only a single satellite visible.
Very seldom do all four vanish to-
gether, leaving a moonless Jupiter
on view. but this is what will hap
pen next Tuesday.
The last time this happened.
when Jupiter could be seen from
the United States, was on May 10.
1914 After next Tuesday it will
not be seen again from this part
Of the world until July Is. 1889.
If you look at Jupiter at D. m,
central standard time, or the eve
ming of May 3, you will see two
moons to the east of the planet and
one TO the west. From east to west
they are Callisto. 10. and Europa.
Ganymede already has disappeared,
having hidden behind the planet
at 4:12.
Then. at Gas. Europa follows 1t
into hiding. Two moons remain,
both to the east. At 7:514, Callisto
moves into the shadow Of Jupiter,
leaving only 10 still visible. This
only continues for about half
minute, for at 7:52 Ganymede
emerges from behind the planet.
and once again there are two Wis
ible, to the east.
One Moon Seen
But at 8:O4 To vanishes. as 1t
crosses the planets face. Again only
one moon is to be seen. Ganymeade

has moved over far enough 70

no moons at all are visible
This state OF affairs continues
until 1920, when 10, having crossed
the disc of Jupiter. reappears At
12:075 a. m, Europa emerges from
the shadow. which IL entered be-
fore IL passed from behind the
planet. BY this time Jupiter has
set for people in the eastern
United States, but it still is visible
in the west. At 12:433, Callisto
reappears from the shadow in
which it was eclipsed. Now three
satellites are visible. Europa and
Callisto TO the east. 10 to the west.
Finally, at 1:017. Ganymede
emerges from the shadow. and
Joins his brothers TO the east.
once again, all four moons are
shining.

CATHOLIC body THRIFT TO HIATT
SEES VEIL RITE FURLOUGH PLAN

The Department of Justice, one
of the five departments getting a
10 per cent reduction in appro'
priation5, has announced that its
original plan to furlough all its
employees from 81 to 10 days need
not be carried into effect now,
providing all the employees prac-
tice real economy.
Attorney General Mitchell, in
announcing the administrative
furlough probably would not be
granted, said in a department
memorandum:
"AvOid, however, carrying the
effort at economy to the point
of actual inefficiency in the de-
tense of prosecution of Govern
ment civil cases or of allowing
guilty perSOnS to escape JUS
tice."
The various economies planned,
he said, will permit $450,000 to be
transferred from other, appropria-
tions to salary items, leaving an
apparent deficit of $431.262, but
most of this latter can be saved
if the United States courts over
the country watch every penny,
he pointed out.

MEN HIT BY
RAIL MOVE
Road May Ask for R. F. C.
Loan Of $500, 900, 900 to Re-
/. place All Old Equipment

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-Be.
ginning tomorrow, all repair
shops of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad throughoutits system,
including the Mt. Clare shops
here, will close until Septem-
Der l, and al trackmen who
have been working only three
days a week will start working
only two days.
Skeleton crews will remain in
the shops to care for running re-
pairs, but nothing else will be
undertaken.
5000 Men Affected
The shopmen have been on a
four-day week since September,
1881, and previously for a year
were on a five-day week.
From 5000 to 1000 shopmen
are affected, including many
indefinitely furloughed, and in
cluding 5000 at the Mount Clare
shops.
The company's clerical forces
have been working five days a
week or less since April, 1881.
The train service men also are
working part time.
Since they accepted a 10 per
cent wage cut last February,
about 10000 of the $4,000 men
affected have been removed from
the rolls.
r. F. C. Loan Sought
Meanwhile, George M. Shriver,
senior vice president of the rail-
road, and Daniel Willard, pres
ident, are considering appealing
to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for a loan for the
purpose of refurnishing and re-
placing its equipment and rolling
stock. The sum of $30Q,000.0OO
has been suggested for this pur'
pose. The loan would not only
help the railroad but also boom
business in the steel and other
serving industries.
