Worse Than Broke

New York, May 18.-P)-Charles E
Mitchell's counsel says the former
head Of the second largest bank in
the world is now worse than broke"
This defense contention stood out
above tangled tale Of big money

charges of evading $3.50, 1000 In income
taxes entered its fifth day.

Mitchell, declared the former inter-
national banker still owes the house
Of Morgan $5,585,038 on loans which
are secured by collateral now worth
81, 900 900 less than that amount.
Federal Attorney George z. Medalie
introduced letters which Mitchell, for
mer head Of the National City Bank.
exchanged to complete sale Of 1890

produced letters to support his con-
tention that this sale to Mrs Mitchell,
whereby Mitchell established a loss OF

Meat AdulteratiOn

The North Dakota regulatory de-
partment Thursday announced that
results of survey Of hamburger
steak and pork sausage sold in the
state reveals "a large amount Of
adulteration."
The survey, embracing 60 meat
markets and other places handling
meats, included analyses made in the
laboratories Of the state food COM
missioner and chemist, and was re-
ported to show a number of concerns

The chemical used was sodium sui
phite which is universally recognized
to be harmful and Is prohibited under
the North Dakota pure food law" a
regulatory department statement
said. Sodium sulphite deodorizes
and imparts bright pink or red COL
or to the meat and thus may be used
to conceal spoilage or inferiority."

10 were found to contain sodium sui
phite, and of 81 samples of sausage IL

CORN AND HOGS ARE
ALL PROBLEMS
SECRETARY'S VIEW
Wallace Considers Ways Of Re.
ducing Production to
Increase Prices

Washington, May 18.-(P)-Secre-
tary Wallace, an expert in corn breed
ing, believes that any plan to improve
the price of corn or hogs cannot be
separated; that price and production
movements Of each are so linked as to
necessitate simultaneous action.
His economic adviser, DR.. Mordecai
Ezekiel, has charted detailed statistics
showing the close relationship of hog
and corn movements over long
period of time. This study, will con-
tribute largely towards the basis of
any plan adopted by Wallace under
powers provided by the new farm act.
Each year corn belt farmers pro-
duce about 2,50O,OO0,0O0 bushels of
flint and dent corn. Most of it is
used as hog feed. The area where q
surplus of corn is grown for sale at
markets is limited, centering in Iowa.
Have Big Surplus
Prices early this year were the low
est in years and the last government
report showed a surplus of more than
1000, O00, 900 bushels of corn on farms
in March. Meanwhile, with cheap
corn the hog population is large and
growing while the exports of lard have
dwindled as foreign trade restrictions
multiplied.
Wallace has variety of powers
which are open to application to eth
er corn or hogs but not all of them
fit his central aim, which is to re-
duce production of both as the first
step towards permanent improvement
of their prices.
If hog prices were increased by
trade agreements with packers to pay
minimum prices, an increase in corn
acreage would soon follow, experts say.
Then with cheap feed on hand, farm
ers would step up their hog produc-
ton to get the advantage of better
prices. contributing to an oversupply
Of both.
Must Reduce Acreage
AS a result, any plan Wallace adopts
to better hog prices will be contin-
gent upon reduction in corn acreage
and production. He has power to levy
q processing tax on packers, to use the
proceeds to pay higher prices fol
hogs to those farmers who decrease
their corn acreage.
With less corn available, its price
would rise, increasing the cost of hog
production. The effect of the plar
would be to curtail both, thus reduc.
ing supply and contributing to higher
and more stable prices.
This method could be carried out
through the domestic allotment plar
providing for state, county and town.
ship committees of farmers to admin.
lister the plan, to spread use of thu
method over q large area and to SET
that pledges to reduce corn acreag'
would be observed.
He has the power to enter init
agreements with packers to pay high.
err prices for hogs of q given weight
Under this method it has been sug
gested by his associates that the high
est price might be paid for hogs o
about 200 to $50 pounds, thus slowing
up efforts Of farmers to market heav
hogs and retarding the growth Of tn
lard surplus.
Before a plan for hogs and corn i
put into effect commodity meetin
at which producers, packers and othe
professors and handlers are to b
represented, will be called by Wallac
and George N. Peek, chief administra
tor of the act.

three and one-half times as large and
rye nearly three times as large as in
April 1882.
Increases in April over the CORES
ponding period of the preceding year
occurred in carloadings of coal, coke
and forest products, building permits,
flour and linseed products, shipments
and marketings of cattle and sheep.
Decreases from last years April VOL
ume occurred in carloadings Of ore,
miscellaneous merchandise and |. c. |.
commodities, building contracts and
receipts of calves and hogs.
Department store sales were only six
per cent smaller in April than in April
last year, whereas March sales were
q per cent smaller. February sales
were % per cent smaller and January
sales were q per cent smaller than
sales In the corresponding months of
1892.
Estimates of cash income to the
Northwest from the marketing Of
seven important farm products were
eight per cent larger in April than in
the same month last year. This is
the first time since August. 1929, that
farm income in any month has ex-
ceeded the total for the same month
In the preceding year. The increase
in farm income was due to rising farm
product prices and to increased mark
etings of grains.
The stated percentage Of increase
in farm income underestimate the
effect of higher prices on the farm
er's purchasing power and debt-pay-
ing power because prices at the farm
have risen more in percentage than
prices at terminal markets have ad-
vanced. Prices of hogs, ewes, butter
and eggs were higher in April than a
year ago. Prices Of grains continued
to advance in the early part Of May.

products marketed in the district last

$3.50 900 in March and s12,121, 900
in April q year ago, according to
a summary prepared by the ninth

Only Fargo had greater debts
total than Bismarck in North Da-
kota last month. Fargo's total

For the most part, bank debts
are checks against depositors' ac-
counts, and thus represent pay
ments. Thus, increased debts in
