TELLS CLUB OF
FARMING PLAN
W.S.C. Man Tells Why Farm
ers Are Paid Not to Grow
More Wheat

The cause, modus operandi and
expected results of the federal
crop allotment program were ex-
planned to members of the Kenne-
wick Kiwanis club at their regular
luncheon Tuesday noon by Prof.
E. F. Dummeier of w. S. c..
just why wheat farmer should
receive thirty cents a bushel for
wheat he didn't grow was brought
out in the talk which was illus
trated by series of charts, show
ing the relation between the crops
of various years, the surplus and
world consumption.
Mr.. Dummeier explained that the
plan covered seven basic farm
commodities and was being work
ed out to the end that the farm
dollar would more nearly reach
the purchasing power of the indus
trial dollar. A limited production
was the basis Of the plan he stat
ed and in the case of wheat, at
least, this immediate section would
profit from it's operation.
Kiwanians were much interested
in the discourse and the speaker
was kept beyond his allotted time
to go into further detail.

ORRECOVERY
CONTINUED from Page Il

The meeting this evening was
attended by local merchants here
who have recommended to their
committee the following condi-
tions. That the required 50 hours
of service be rendered the public.
This time is to consist of opening
for 8 1-2 hours for the first fivi
days of the week with 9 1-2 hours
on Saturday. To accomplish this it
was recommended that the opening
hour be set at nine o'clock, closing
at $50, with Saturday closing time
an hour later. Inasmuch as but
forty hours is the limit, many OF
the establishment will be compell-
ed to hire additional help to fill out
the So hours. In this way the pres
ident's purpose will be fulfilled.
This blanket agreement, which
covers skilled trades-in which the
maximum is set at 35 hours per
weeks to become operative un.
til such time as the special trades
codes for the various lines have
become adopted, or until the first
of the year.
The codes covering the various
industries are to provide similar
limitations of minimum wages and
maximum minimum hours, selling
prices and unfair trade practices.
1t is expected that in each line the
code will provide additional labor
outlets, increase trade and provide
protection against unfair practices,
all of which will materially assist
in the general public welfare.

There is nothing new about price
fixing OF agricultural products. The
Romans attempted it soon after the
second Macendonian war. At that time
cheap wheat was shipped in from
Northern Africa and offered for sale
in Rome at less than the cost of pro-
duction to the Roman farmer. The
farmers revolted at that time, and to
appease them, Augustus Caesar de-
clared a fixed price on wheat. History
does not tell us the economic result,
but 1t at least took care OF a serious
situation at that time.
Thirty-nine countries during the last
year have had some method Of determ-

There Is no other act Of Congress
which could bring about such general
prosperity as a fixed price Of grain and
other raw products, providing such
prices are high enough to enable the
average producer to produce at some
profit.
New wealth comes from three sources
only. The ground, beneath the ground
and from the water surrounding the
earth. 1t is impossible for prosperity
to return until the producer of a raw
product, whether it is grain or gold.
cotton or copper, corn or lumber, flax
or fish, can produce at profit. Raw
products produced at loss consume
wealth.
Permanent Prosperity Seen.
Nothing has been done for years
which will bring such permanent pros
perity to the oil business as the price
fixing of crude oil, but as in all other
commodities, a fixed price on the fin
ished product must be established In
order to be fair to the consumer. Such
restriction and control of production
is just as fair to the small producer as
to the large one. He may not make
as much profit as the large producer,
but he will not have as much invest

affair. If foreign markets should be
higher, the same reason should govern,
and the farmer should be forced to sell
the portion Of his crop required for
home consumption at the fixed price.
Objection has been raised to fixing a
fair price on grain owing to the differ
ence in the cost Of production, caused
by weather quality Of soil and differ
ence in foreign rates This is to some
extent true. but it is equally true in de-
termining fair, fixed price for crude
oil. 1t is obvious that the cost of pro-
ducing crlde oil, from an oil well which
supplies 5 to 10 barrels day under
pump Is certainly vastly different from
the cost of oil produced in flowing
well which gushes at from 10 to $4,000
barrels day.

What pleased the President was a re-
port from Secretary Perkins that aver
age hourly wages had increased from

months from AZ to Sc
He attributed this directly to the Ma

Miss Perkins added the changes in
wage rates did not necessarily repre-
sent an increase in total average weekly
earnings but that they did represent
shorter hours. with no pay cut at the
same time additional employees were
being hired.
The report of the Presidents "inter-

was concentrated at this time in the
heavy industries.
High Levels Expected.
This report said the final figures for
October would show somewhat fur
ther decline in factory operations espe-
cially in the output of semi-finished
goods, but that factory operation as a
whole would remain above the highest
levels of last year.
The principal cause for the decline
was attributed to overproduction be-
