dent Roosevelt for solution.

mended to the President these steps:

with representatives Of Indiana, Illinois,
Kansas and Nebraska, drafted their
recommendations after tWo-day con-
ference with leaders of the Nations
chief farm organizations.

their program in person to President
Roosevelt Thursday. They were to meet
in Chicago today, preparatory to the
Washington trip.

earnest efforts to find an effective and
just solution of the farm problem" and
for progress thus far made" the Mid
western executives added their oelle1
that certain immediate action, supple
mentary to action taken by the national
administration is imperative"
This immediate action, the executives
asserted, includes:
An N R. A. code for agriculture
authorizing Federal determination Of
minimum prices for basic commodities
to allow cost of production plus rea-
sonable profit; regulating marketing to
encourage ultimate control by Co-opera-
tives and to eliminate the speculative
sale of farm commodities" determining
the amount of products to be sold on
the domestic market; and providing for
licensing OF producers, professors ana
dealers in farm commodities.

Government Immediately fix prices for
basic farm commodities Ito restore the
farm commodity price index to the same
level as the all-commodity price index"
For Controlled Initiation.
Imitation under proper safeguards
and control" and payment of the fourth
Liberty Loan in new currency instead
of refunding with another interest," bear
ing bond ISSUE" were urged.
To speed farm mortgage refinancing,
the Governors suggested that applica-
tions for farm loans be accepted without
payment of application fee in advance;
that reappraisals be ordered where the
appraiser has recommended less than
rs per cent of the normal value of the
land as the basis for a loan, and that
IF necessary, such changes be made

JOBS ARE URGED
FOR WIVES

Opposition to "all dismissals
from the Government service for
reasons other than efficiency" j"
with special regard to married
women, probably will be one of
the prime matters before the con-
vention of the National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, which
opens Monday in Kansas City,
Mo-, it was indicated today.
An article in the Federal En-
ploye, official organ of the fed
Grafton, just released, made this
clear as Ulrey j. Biller, an Off
cial of the federation, urged ac-
ton looking toward repeal of "all
discriminatory legislation" par
ticularly the married pers S
clause of the economy act.
In his article, Biller pointed
to the federation's stand against
the clause, which singles out for
dismissal married persons in the
Government whose husbands or
wives are also employed by the
Government.
He stated that most married
women work because of "eco-
nomic necessity" and that the
married persons clause is an at
tack on the merit system. He said:
"The next step may force out
all married women, even though
their husbands are not employed
by the Government, then single
women and single men who are
without dependents. Manifestly,
here is an endless chain that
may include or involve any
group or class in the Govern
ment service, and all employees
in any one of these groups, or
classes, can be forced out in
utter disregard of their eff
cheney or value to the Govern
ment."

WHEAT ACREAGE
REDUCED IN
COUNTY
Montgomery Program Hailed
as Unqualified Success;
Farmers Cooperate

The Wheat Allotment Program
for Montgomery county, which
was initiated scarcely more than
two weeks ago, is rapidly drawing
to a successful conclusion, the
County Farm Bureau in Rock
vile announced today.
The idea was introduced by O.
w. Anderson, county agricultural
agent, and ]. w. Jones, preSi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau, at a series Of
meetings conducted in different
sections of the county. At these
gatherings the necessity for the
campaign, and its application to
the case of the individual farmer
was thoroughly explained, as we'll
as the attitude of the Federal
Farm Bureau to the plan.
Good Support
Farmers applications have been
pouring into the Farm Bureaus
offices so rapidly during the
past two weeks that an extra
clerical force was necessary to
take care of them all before the
time limit expires on Septern-
Der Is.
Federal agents have estimated
that there are nearly 1000 farm
ers in Montgomery county raising
wheat. and of this number more
than half have signified their
willingness to cooperate in cut
ting down production. This one.
half, however, comprises most of
the large growers so that nearly
three fourths of the county's total
acreage has been taken care of
without any expense whatever to
the grower.
Committee Sought
The second step in the cam
paign contemplates another series
of meetings at which a director
and assisting committee will be
elected to work with the Farm
Bureau in lining up what few
farmers have not come into the
program.
The board will also assume full
responsibility for carrying out the
program for the next two years of
the contract period.
