STILL ENTHUSIASTIC


AS the NRA campaign entered the
middle of its third week, enthusiasm was
undiminished, pledges continued to pour
in. While troubles have put in their APP
pearance and the campaign is obviously
touching its most crucial point, spokesman
are as confident as ever in forecasting re-
markable results.
The NRA blanket code has usurped
the place of the trade codes in thespews.
The latter, however, will probably be in
operation longer than the NRA, and the
law. instead of public opinion only, is back
of them. It is an open secret that the gov
eminent is dissatisfied with the trade code
progress and is making every effort to
speed matters up. One of the most i'm
portant lumber, was thrown out when first
sent in. Now the president has signed
an approved lumber code which is expec-
ted to do much for the industry and its
employees.
Minimum wages range from % cents
an hour in the south to 40 cents in the north
and west, with 40 hour work week which
may be extended to AZ hours at seasonal

Code Authority, Inc, is given the job of
protecting price levels and controlling pro-

be given an allotment. and production quo

be arranged on the basis of consumption,
including anticipated export demand. Sell

low the cost of production point. I'm

is designed to increase lumber and timber
employment by $4,000 men.

tries are bones of contention. Code Off
Gals are struggling with the problem; if
worst comes to worst the government will
make UP codes, force them on the indus
tries whether they like it or not. It's
case where they won't take mo- for an
answer.

MORE RAILROAD LEGISLATION

There is already talk of further trans
portation legislation to be considered when
Congress conyenes again.
1t is an open secret that Mr.. Roose-
velt's recently passed bill does not near
ly go so far as he intends. 1t is simply a
start. 1t recognizes fact of the utmost
importance~-that the railroads are one of
our most important industries, that they
have suffered extremely from depression,
that even in times of prosperity they were
perplexed with difficulties, and that their
salvation is vital to recovery. It's principal
purpose is to promote higher railroad eff
ficiency, through consolidation of COM
peting lines, and the elimination of dupli-
cate facilities.
Once this is done, the way will be
cleared for attacking the greatest prob
lem of all-unfair competition, much of
which stems from government subsidized
carriers. Barges ply thestax-built water
ways-creating deficits to be made up by
more taxes, and taking business that would
otherwise go to the rails. Buses and trucks
operate on the publicly-buiit highways,
unregulated by the Federal government,
which so stringently controls the railroad
industry. And so it goes.
- Yes. a start has been made, but much
lie will be watching the future trend of
transport legislation with the keenest in
terest.

TWO BUREAUS DIE

Two famous government bureaus of

a book value of s2ss. GOO. 600 at last report
It's functions-what are left of them-were

The other casualty was the prohibit

spent S100. 000. 900 in Is years. and was in
volved in the loss of $50 lives. Most of
the 1900 dry agents were dismissed.

Warns Farmers to
Test Seed Supply
Five Suggestions Offered
by U. S. Department
of Agriculture.

The United States Department of
Agriculture gives farmers and seed
dealers five suggestions for protect
Ing themselves in the purchase of
seed. With the need for economy
greater this year than ever, the de-
partment offers these pointers to
help farmers make sure that the
seed they get will grow. The de-
partment administers the Federal
Seed act, which forbids the sale of
fraudulently misbranded seed in in
terstate commerce.
The FIVE protective pointers are:
/. Buy seed early enough to al
low for testing at home or at the
state seed laboratory before plant
ing.
2. Insist on a statement of the
termination and the date tested. The
test date should be within two
months of the date of purchase, be-
cause some seeds fall off in ger
mination rapidly.
3. Where variety is important, in
sist on a statement as to variety by
the seller, or state certification.
4. Make sure of the quality Of
seed, particularly that offered at alb
normally low prices.
8. Save all tags, invoices, adver-
tisements and correspondence about
the seed and report anything wrong
to the state seed office.
The department reports the case
of a Midwestern farmer as an ex-
ample of what not to do. He bought
a mixture of alfalfa and clover seed
from a distant seed house. The
seller asserted that the seed, one
third alfalfa and two-thirds red
clover. was high in termination. The
farmer complained that he did not
get a single alfalfa plant. Late in
the summer the case was reported
TO the state officials. Some remain
ing seed was tested and found Of
poor quality, but 1t was too late for
anything to be done. Testing of the
seed before planting could have pre-
vented the partial failure. the de-
partment says. The department
urges reporting sales OF misbranded
seed TO state authorities.

American Exodus Taxes
Paris Warehouse Space

Paris.-Hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of packed and sealed
property lies in a warehouse here,
mute testimony of the retreat of
Americans. The exodus, which was
most pronounced last year. now has
virtually ended, according to the
statistics of the warehouse and
moving concern, which has a spe-
cial department for handling Amer
lean business.
The huge barrack-like structure
contains everything from Dresden
china to an airplane stored by
French industrialist, who has had
to give up amateur flying for the
present.
The American exodus, caused by
the economic situation, has left un-
occupied dozens of chateaux and
country houses which had been
rented or purchased by Americans,
in some cases long before the war.

Cracksman's Guide Tells
How to Open u. S. Vault

Washington.-The treasury has a
cracksman's guide on public view,
telling exactly how to get into the
treasury's new money vaults, now
under construction.
The guide Is a thick book of blue
prints and mimeographed sheets in
the contractors room of the Treas
ury department, where it may be
examined By burglars and good cit
liens alike.
The data tell how the locks are
to be made-with two keys required
to open them, but only one to close
them. The guide explains how
strong steel and heavy concrete are
to be welded together. and how an
intricate alarm system which is to
be installed will work.
The Treasury department said II
wasn't worried about cracksmen.
