SAN FRANCISCO, June 26,-Mother
earth was back to normal stolidity to-
day after gently quivering over wide
area of California and Nevada.
The tremors, which at some places
jiggled crockery off shelves and ratified
windows, occurred shortly after noon
Sunday. Sacramento, Lake Tahoe and
Reno and Fallon, New, reported slight
damage. In San Francisco the quake
was so light it passed unnoticed by
many persons.
Two later quakes in Southern Cali
fornia, which appeared to miss the
midday jiggles, were reported from
Santa Barbara at 1890 pm. No dam
age was reported
The seismograph at the University OF
California at Berkeley recorded the
shocks starting at 12:46 pm. and con-
tinuing until so pm. Prof. Perry
Byerly described them as of ''moder-
ately large intensity and probably
quite severe" at the epicenter which
he estimated was from ITO to $50 miles
east of Berkeley.
At the University of Nevada at Reno
the seismograph needle was thrown off
the drum of the instrument. Offlcials
at the university described the move
ment as a series of light shocks lasting
about As seconds. They estimated the
epicenter az within five miles of Reno.
Slight damage was caused to
theater at Fallon. 40 miles east of Reno.
At Tahoe City. about the same distance
west, on the shore of Lake Tahoe, some
walls were cracked.

COTTON CAMPAIGN
BEGINS IN SOUTH
Officials See Wide Accept
ance of Acreage Plan.
Wheat Drive July |.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fam act administrators predicted
today cotton farmers would exceed all
expectations in agreeing to curtail pro-
duction as a week long campaign to
that end was launched throughout the
South.
Meanwhile. plans were announced for
a companion effort to start the pro-
posed wheat reduction drive by July l..
Chester Davis. cotton production di-
rector. said the cotton plan provides
"the most generous offer ever made the
American farmer" and asserted that
advance indications of the response OF
farmers point to success.
10000 Workers in Field.
C. A. Cobb, cotton production chief,
contended the campaign Is better
organized than the wartime Liberty
Loan drives and that 10000 workers
will be in the field during the week to
hold meetings with farmers.
Farmers have their choice OF two
plans, either to offer from 25 to so per
cent of their cotton acreage for cash
payments ranging from ST to $40 an
acre or an option-benefit plan under
which payments will range from s6 to
S12 an acre with growers to receive
in addition options on Government
held cotton at 6 cents a pound.
Davis emphasized that administrators
are seeking a substantial reduction IN
this years potential crop rather than
the plowing up Of large area.
Cotton yields vary widely, he said,
and he is hopeful Of cutting this years
crop by at least 10000 bales.
The wheat campaign will be entirely
educational during July, Davis said.
Field workers will begin offering blank
contracts to growers on August i and
expect to complete the contract CAM
paign by September Is
Wheat growers will be offered cash
benefits to agree to reduce their output
in 1884 and 1885, with the exact acre
age reduction to be required of each to
be determined when the London wheat
conference has been concluded. Each
grower must agree to reduce acreage up
to 20 per cent.
Processing Taxes Cut.
The increase in farm prices is steadily
whiting down the size of the process
ing taxes that administrators OF the
farm act can levy on wheat and cotton.
Mingled with their satisfaction with
the rise is a fear that it may reduce the
potency Oh tllclT pIdllS loT CuI III
American farm production by trimming
sharply the revenue from these taxes
which will be available for them to
finance acreage reduction.
If prices advanced until the farmers
wheat or cotton dollar were capable Of
the same purchasing power it had in
1909-1914, there would be no room for
levying a tax Then the emergency"
described by the farm act would be at
an end This, however, administrators
do not regard as an immediate posi-
bility.
They can levy a processing tax on
the basic mmodities-wheat. cotton,
corn, hogs, tobacco, rice and dairy prod
ucts. They have decided to order them
into effect soon on wheat, cotton and
cigar-leaf tobaccos.
At their maximum these taxes can

which it should sell to make it bear the
same purchasing power as it did in pre-
war days.
But prices Of materials farmers Buy

Wheat demonstrates what the admin
istrators have to fear About 10 days
ago Secretary Wallace announced his
acreage plan. He estimated that the
maximum processing tax based on early
June price relationships would be 80
cents bushel, producing sl50,000,000
to pay to farmers as consideration
for acreage reduction.
Last week wheat markets scored a
sensational rise. which also meant an
increase in the farm value of wheat and
possible reduction in the amount of

Special Dispatch to The Star
LURAY, Va, June 26-Plans have
been forwarded to Washington for
landscaping the top of the 610-foot
tunnel on the Skyline Drive at the
north and south portals, and for build
ing retaining walls over the entrances
at either end They were drawn by
w. M. Harris Of Los Angeles, junior
architect of the National Park Service.
During the last Winter in exceed
ingly bad weather more or less danger
was encountered from sliding of debris.
1t Is proposed to run a retaining wall
at either end over the tunnel. The
first walls will run in a triangular
fashion down to the mouth of the
tunnel and will not be built in the
same manner as the reinforcements
back OF them. Efforts will be made
to fit the rock in with the natural ap-
pearance Of the tunnel.
Following the building of walls, dead
growth will be cut out and both portals
will be planted with trees, shrubbery
and flowers suitable to the mountain
locality.
Retaining walls now are being placed
along the drive by men from the Citi-
zens' Conservation Corps.
