Move Finding Favor With
Most of Indiana'S
Growers.

By Times Special
LAFAYETTE. Ind. Aug. Sin
dications are that IS 70 90 per cent
Of Indiana wheat growers who are
eligible to come under provisions
OF the wheat production control
plan of the agricultural adjustment
act will sign contracts to reduce
their acreage this fall TO the Is &c
20 per cent asked by Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace. This state
ment was made today by Director
J. H. Skinner Of the Purdue uni
versity agricultural extension de-
partment. and state leader of the
educational phase Of the wheat con-
troll program.
Reports We have received from
practically every county Of the
state. where the county agricul-
tursl agents are heading up the
local educational campaigns, indi-
cate wholehearted support Of our
governments effort 70 solve the
surplus wheat problem" Skinner
said
hEkdEucu a. DutJ
In many communities every
grower who can establish a base TO
receive his allotment has agreed 20
sign an application blank for
contract This attitude is apparent
in all sections of the state, the
growers generally regarding it as
patriotic duty. even without con-
sidering the financial gain it
means TO each signer.'
More than $4,000 application
blanks for contracts have been dis
tributed through the agricultural
extension department TO the various
counties. These application blanks
are going out this week TO growers
in every county for their signatures.
The signers Of the applications then
will get together and form their
own county wheat growers associa-
ton to handle the details of admin
istering the act as the government
requests.
Growers Number Mounts
The application signers. the only
ones eligible to take part in the
final county organization plan, then
will perfect their county boards and
a number are scheduled for next

Predict Farm Support
for Wheat Acreage Cut

week with Fountain couru NY, one Of
the first ready TO organi ae, having
planned this action for neat Friday.
L. z. Hoffman, assistant county
agent leader. who is handi ing the
details Of the state campaign, has
found that the number of wheat
growers in the state is we'll above
the 65 900 reported in the I'D CEN
sus. The figure is nearer 100000,
Hoffman says, although the ssgners
will be only those who can es iaollsh
a base for allotment from their
acreage the last three years.
Some Not Eligible
I'VE find. Skinner said, in ne;lr-
ly all counties those who are r OF
eligible to sign because of hawks
grown no wheat the last three yeans
are willing to cooperate in reduc-
ing their acreage as they recognizel
that crops must be reduced if sat-f
isfactory price is to be obtainedA
next year.
The local county or community
committees have an important task
70 see that those who are not
eligible understand the wheat STU
alton, and that nOnparticipants be
urged 10 hold down their acreage
this year in order that all wheat
growers may receive a profitable
price in 1884.
Education Is Needed
In few communities farmers
who are not eligible to sign a con-
tract and who are not informed on
the wheat situation and especially
about the big carryover seem to
think that it is all right for them
to grow as much wheat as they
wish
The community committees
should try to convince these men
that such an attitude may seriously
interfere with the plan of the gov
eminent to give the wheat grower
an increased purchasing power for
his 1884 crop.
This is especially important" he
continued, because any material
increase of acreage on the part of
nonsigners may defeat the very pur-
pose Of the act which was designed
TO aid all growers. Good community
cooperation is necessary in every
township of the state in this as well
as the other production control pro-
jects which are coming along rap
idly"

Frisco Ferry Workers
Vote Strike Against a
10 Per Cent Wage Cut

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.--Work-
ers on the Golden Gate auto ferries
between San Francisco and Berkeley
have voted to strike unless q code is
signed which would restore 10 per
cent wage cut that was given in 1892
George Creel, chairman of the
regional labor board and notorious
war monger, has been commissioned
by local business leaders and former
trade 4 union bureaucrat. Michael
Casey, to attempt arbitration.
Thus far the workers have re-
manned firm and state that the only
arbitration they will accept is the
granting Of their demands.
The ferry strike would tie up all
auto ferries except the Southern
Pacific line to Oakland and would
involve more than 1000 workers. The
men voted almost unanimously TO
walk out, angry because Maggard had
falsified his company's earnings to
force the wage cut upon them in
1882. The Southern Pacific ferry
workers, who also received the cut,
are not involved since they have
agreed to continue acceptance until
June.
