Perishable Shipments--Week-e

BY WILLIAM HARD.

Board, Mr. Hamlin, and like few other
Federal public servants (such as Bal
thasar H. Meyer of the Interstate Com
merce Commission) he long has seemed
a non-political nonstop appointee and
fixed star in the. wheeling washington
armament
He has not come to this position and
prestige through oiliness of the tongue
or of the hinges Of the knee. He has
been amazingly frank both about the
Federal Reserve System and about the
Federal Reserve Board itself. Not long
ago he was testifying before the Senate
Committee on Banking and Currency.
He was asked If certain situations might
not have been more satisfactory in GER
tain supposititious circumstances. He
made the committee gasp by responding:
1--WE would be in better position If
we had better Federal Reserve Board"
Mr.. Miller has even proposed that the

nomics-and finance-and commerce
and, for that matter, also history and
politics-at the universities of Harvard
and Cornell and Chicago and California.
He was a distinguished academic per-
sonality and very appropriately was put
into public Office by woodrow Wilson.
| IE soon added administrative and po-
litical acquaintanceship and insight
to his academicity. His first intimates
in Washington were his fellow Califor-
mans, Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior. and Herbert Hoover, Food Ad-
ministrator. He found an additional init
mate quickly in Franklin Delano Roose-
velt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He
was reappointed to the Federal Reserve
Board, upon the expiration of his first
term in it, In 1924, by Calvin Coolidge.

HE creation of new and better
system of American banking is
a project now at the forefront
of American economic and po-
litical thought. In this article
endeavor to outline the views on that
topic of Adolph Caspar Miller.
Mr.. Miller and Charles S. Hamlin have
been members of the Federal Reserve
Board at Washington since its forma-
tion in 1914. They are the only two men
who have had the experience Of par
ticipating in the responsible manage
ment of the chief organ of our Federal
Reserve System from its origin to date.
The views of either of them are of the
highest Importance to the problem of
the improvement of the Federal Reserve
System and of our banking operations in
general. I happen by chance to be more
familiar with Mr. Miller's views than
with Mr. Hamlin's~ make them, accord
ingly, the theme of this article in this
present banking emergency.
Mr.. Miller, before being member of
the Federal Reserve Board, was pro-
fessional economist He professed eco
Evening star., 1933-03-26

Federal Reserve Board should be abol-
ished. Few members of boards have
ever suggested that the compartment of
the public trough in which they were
residing should be eliminated and that
they should be exposed to the hazardous
chance Of f1nding-or not finding-an-
other compartment in it. Mr.. Miller's
reasons for wishing to abolish the Fed
eral Reserve Board shall expound later.
proper preface to those reasons must
first be set forth in summary of Mr..
Miller's opinions regarding the efficacy
to date of the Federal Reserve System
as q whole.
To Mr.. Miller's mind our present eco
nomic distress has not been lightened,
it has been deepened, by the Federal
Reserve System as operated during the
years from 1922 to 1929. This view Of
his-so almost alarmingly contrary to
the views customarily and convention
ally held-Mr. Miller has not hesitated
to convey to the Congress.
On January q, 1881, he was fnterro-
gated-in the course of a senatorial in
quiry-by Senator Carter Glass of Viz

How Adjustment Pro-
gram Fits Individual

Any farmer wishing to know
how the wheat adjustment pro-
gram will apply to an individual
case can easily determine this by
the following method. Put down
on a sheet of paper your acreage
of land seeded to wheat in 1885,
1892. Opposite this put down in
another column the yield of
threshed wheat for, these same
years. Total each column. Divide
each column by three. This will
give you the average acreage and
average yield for the farm base
period.
Multiply the average by .s5. This
will give the acreage which one
may seed in 1884 and 1885.
Multiply the average yield by
lis percent This will give you the
average yield upon which your
allotment will be based. (The rea-
son for this added Is percent is
that 1928 was a big year for the
county. Multiply this adjusted
average yield by 50 percent. This
will give you your allotment. Null
tiply your allotment by Zoe and
this will give you the payment
you will receive this fall. Multiply
this farm allotment by &c and this
will give you the approximate
amount you will receive next
spring. Add these two amounts
together and this gives you the
total received for cutting your
acreage for 1884 and 1885, the
number of acreage as determined
by subtracting the number of acres
to be seeded in 1884 and 1885 from
your acreage over the last three
years. If you want then you can
divide this cut in acreage into the
amount of money to be received
and generally speaking you will
find that this means that you will
get somewhere around $40 per
acre for leaving this land out of
production.
What can you do with the land
to be left out of production? We
understand from the contract that
you can seed crop for hay on part
of this land so as to take care of
feed for any beef cattle or hogs.
to be consumed on the place or for
work horses to be used on the
farm. E.
Every wheat farmer of the coun-
ty is eligible to come under this
program and he should immed-
lately figure out his own set-up
and then apply to the county agent
or the director or community
committeeman, in his community
for information as to how to get
in under the plan. H..

suit of already, increased buying
power of farmers. Many cases cited
by a senior extension agent in
Minnesota as in either reducing
average cost of producing wheat
or increasing the selling price by
10c per bushel adds $1.40 per acre
to the income of all wheat growers.
nat means extra income averag-
ing $3.50 to every farmer in Kan
sas, or $150,O0G more buying pew
er and debt liquidating power in
every county in that state. Ninety
dollars is added to the purchasing
power of every tobacco grower in
Kentucky; including the smallest
tenant farmers in the computa-
ton, on an increase of 3 cents per
pound. In each of the 120 counties
of Kentucky this adds 100000 to
the purchasing power of the grow
ers.
An increase of 3 cents per pound
for cotton, as for example, in Mis-
SlSSlppl, made possible In part Dy
lowering cost of production and
IN part by increase of selling price,
adds $263,030 to the spending
money of the cotton growers in
the average Mississippi county.
One cent per quart or so cents per
100 pounds of milk means an in
crease of $27,0O0,0OO in the annual
income of all milk producers in the
State of New York alone.
Accomplishment of the Presi-
dents fourfold purpose will bene-
fit directly and enormously more
than one fourth of the country's
population living on farms with
millions of other beneficiaries liv-
ing in the towns and cities who
sell to the farmer and all those
who hold his mortgages.

Use Ammonium Sulphate
in Turning Down Weeds

The use of ammonium sulphate
at the rate of 100 to 800 pounds
to the acre when turning down
weed growth or non-leguminous
cover crops will assist materially
in putting this material in splen-
did condition for soil improvement
next spring. The amount to use
will depend upon the amount of
the crop and the maturity of the
crop. The larger the crop or the
more mature the crop the more
ammonium sulphate should be edd-
ed. There is no exact amount that
can be recommended because one
cannot determine the exact amount
of material being turned down by
the use of good Judgment in the
application of the right amount
within the limit given above should
give results which would thorough
ly justify the use of the ammonium
sulphate.
This material may be added at
the time the crop isturned down
or following this providing there
is enough moisture to carry the
ammonium sulphate to the plant
residue. ".- ..>

mers generally will recognize the
danger. in sowing seed containing
it.
One sample of Victory Oats sent
in to the laboratory contained II
kinds of foreign seeds including
quack grass, of which there were
81 seeds per pound. The seed lab
oratory also has frequently found
Russian THISTLE tumbling or Jim
Hill mustard, fan weed, wild oats,
all of which are annual weeds, and
buckhorn, Canada thistle and bind
weed perenials. On many farms
on which bindweed and Canada
thistle have become established
they continue the greatest single
farm problem.
The analyst often found Canada
thistle in timothy and Alsike Glow
er and quack grass in oats and bar
ley. Buskhorn was the most fire.
quently found in all weed seeds,
and was found particularly in red
clover and other small seeded le-
gumes and in grasses.
Seed tested for the office of the
state seed Inspector is done by the
seed laboratory at Pullman and
the two organizations are conduct
ed in close cooperation in their
work of improving seed of field
and garden crops in the state of
Washington. q
If you want an examination of
seed for purity or termination or
both, send a small sample and 25c
for each test to the state college
laboratory, Pullman, Washington.
Be sure you enclose your name and
address, carefully written or print
ed. This small investment will en-
able you to choose your seed care
fully so that you will have a bet
ter crop, and it will also save you
from introducing noxious weeds.

LabatOry Tests Reduce
Risks in Crop Growing

The small sum of Is cents ex-
pended for purity Or termination
test at the seed laboratory of the
State College has often prevented
the establishment of novious
weed or the planting of seed that
would terminate poorly and result
in small and Improbable crop.
The laboratory tells its clients in
terms Of figures how good or how
bad their seed is, whether it will
terminate or not and whether it
is pure enought to sow without
further cleaning.
When the seed laboratory tells
them that it has a certain percent
of termination, they know approx
imately what to expect from that
seed in the way of a crop. Samples
coming to the seed laboratory not
infrequently tested less than two
thirds of the expected termination
of good seed. Lots of seed from
which such samples were taken
should of course, not be sown. The
grower will thereby save himself
the trouble and expense of resow-
ing.
It is easy for the seed analyst
to detect the presence of weed
seeds in a small seed sample, but
if the lot of seeds were sown a
'nexious new weed to the commun-
ity might become thoroughly es-
tablished before it's presence was
detected. Knowing the persistence
of quack grass, for instance, far
