CECIL COUNTY WHEAT
QUOTA FIGURES
Agricultural Adjustment Plan
Places County Production
At 1894 Bushels
VIII Handle Own
Local Control


Cecil county's wheat production
average, upon which the county al
lotment will be based under the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
trations plan for wheat production
adjustment, is $4,000 bushels.
This figure, which has been de-
termined by the United States Crop
Reporting Board, represents the
average total annual production OF
wheat in the county for the five
year period from 1928 through 1882
inclusive.
The county allotment, which is
set at 81 per cent of this average
production to conform with the per-
centage of the total national wheat
crop which is consumed domestically
as human food, totals 67,24O
bushels. This allotment is the max
imum total upon which individual
compensation payments can he made
within the county.
If all wheat growers in the county
should decide to come in" on the
wheot reduction program, the total
of their domestic allotments would
reach approximate, the same figure
as the county allo ,ilent.
The compensation payments will
be based upon these individual al
lotments The amount of pay
ments which will be made will de-
pend upon the number of wheat
growers who take advantage OF the
opportunity to participate in the
wheat program. If all Cecil county
wheat growers cooperate in the
plan, the total benefit payments will
be about eighty thousand dollars
per year.
Farmers of Cecil county will
themselves handle much of the local
administration of the national wheat
plan.
The farmers own organization, to
be known as the Cecil County Wheat
Production Control Association, will
supervise the Individual aliotments
to growers. The Association will
check farm production statements,
determine individual averages and
allotments, publish list of allotment
applications, see that required acre
age reductions are made, and certify
all facts to the wheat section of the
national Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
Basic principles of the wheat plan,
as it applies to Americas 100000
wheat farmers, have of course been
determined by the national admins
tration. In line with the announced
policy of de-centralized control, how
ever, the county associations OF
growers will be responsible for local
administration. All determination
of fact will be settled primarily by
the county association itself.
ne COSL VI Illo lOCdl
ton, which will be kept at the low
est possible figure, will be borne by
The participating wheat growers
themselves, each contributing his
pro rata share of the expense on the
. basis of the bushels in his own al
lotment.
The Cecil County Wheat Produc-
ton Control Association will be
composed of all farmers who sign
contracts under the wheat plan.
Each local community group will
elect one director for the board of
directors The directors will then
select small executive committee TO
have direct charge of detailed ad-
ministration.

FISHING HIN LUCK

/. F. T. O'CONNOR, Los Angeles attor-
ney recently appointed as comptroller
of currency, made significant state
ment yesterday on the occasion of his de-
parture from the coast to take up his new
duties.
Il hope to make it impossible in the
future for any man to lose dollar de-
posted in any bank in this country he
is quoted as saying.
Theoretically, at least, there is no rea-
son why this should not be possible to
achieve. There are few legitimate eX-
cuses for depositors losing money in
banks. The purpose of banks is to pro-
vide a safe place for depositing money.
Their very cornerstone should be safety
and it is a duty of the government to see
that they are safe.
If the government can pass legislation
which protects the health of the nation
in food and drugs, and numerous other
laws for protection in all lines, it should
be able to legislate so that dollar de-
posted in bank will be there when the
depositor wants it.
Reputable bankers will not object to
any such legislation. On the contrary,
they will welcome it. The only DIRECTORS
will be such as those who are responsible
for the large number of bank failures in
the United States in the past three years.
Millions who have lost their savings in
bank collapses, will wish Mr.. O'Connor
complete success in his undertaking.

How can you do that?" asked
Nurse Jane.

So when Bunty came home early
from school, Uncle Wiggily said:
, Come out in the garage with

Bunty. Come on, Unkie Wig!"
It was dark in the garage when
the doors were closed. Bunty kept
hold of Uncle Wiggilys paw for a
moment and then he said;
Nov stand over in the corner,
Bunty, and look and listen" So
Bunty stood in the corner and look

said

'bEERFAN|NE:'
IS PLAINED

Asked recently about the "beer
famine, August A. Busch, Jr.,
general manager of Anheuser-
Busch said:
zone question that Anheuser-
Busch have answered thousands
upon thousands of times since beer
was legalized is, "Why can't we
have beer?'
"Our telephone switchboard has
been made virtually useless, be-
cause it is constantly tied up with
calls from every section of the
country. Everybody is trying to Or
der bertrand there fsn It enough
beer to go round. Privately owned
trucks are going to distributors
loading platforms in continuous
professions and most of them are
going away empty.
"The reason the supply is SO
limited is that good beer must be
thoroughly aged in order to be good
beer.
"Before April 6, all breweries
were operating on federal cereal
beverage permits. They were per-
mitted to have limited amounts of
real aged beer in their watts at all
times, because to make near beer
! it was necessary first to make real
beer and then reduce the alcoholic
content.
"The real per cent beer that
went on sale April 6 is being dupli-
Gated just as fast as proper ageing
will permit.
HTo age our beer properly takes
over three months. Even today IS
exceptional conditions will not hur-
ry us.
"Until March "a we were work
ing on a greatly restricted basis
as always with Busch
living up to the letter and the spirit
of the law of the land. Legal
stocks of real beer were low. They
still are.
"Today we are bottling on a one
quarter capacity basis. BY May
first we expect to be on a one-half
capacity basis, by June first three
quarters and by July first full ca
pacity.
Meanwhile we can only ask the
public to be patient.''

orphan rabbit.
"AlI over" answered MI. Long
ears. And the next time you are
not going to be afraid, I'm sure"
Maybe not" said Bunty and she
hoped out of the coal bin down
in the cellar Of Uncle Wiggily's
hollow stump bungalow.
Some of you may be surprised to
learn that Bunty was in the coal
bin. But those of you who remem-
Der the story last night will under
stand what happened. Bunty was
helping Uncle Wiggily make his
flower garden when, all Of sudden
it began to lightning, thunder and
rain.
Bunty ran home and hid in the

THE PACE THAT KILLS

THE TEMPO of life in large city is a
fast one, as indicated in a small item
hidden away in yesterdays dispatches
from Los Angeles.
During March, the coroner's report for
Los Angeles county lists 76 deaths due
to traffic accidents, 81 suicides and 20
murders.
These are exclusive of the deaths in
the March 10 earthquake.
A total of 157 violent deaths in one
month is a terrible record, even for
district with the enormous population Of
Los Angeles county.
Had that number of persons died from
typhoid fever or some other malady, the
community would be up in arms, taking
every method to eradicate it and to pre-
vent a recurrence.
Automobiles kill 76 persons, when,
there is no necessity for even one death,
and practically nothing is done about it.
Twenty persons lose their lives in muir
ders and little or nothing is done about
that either SiXty-one persons end their
lives, and naturally nothing can be done
about it-there is nobody to punish.
There might have been something done
beforehand to prevent some Of those 81
persons from taking their lives, but those
planning self-destruction are not IN the
habit of advertising the fact so that they
may be headed off.
The number of murders appears to be
usually high, but cutting it IN half
means l20 murders in the course of
year. There will be more than that num-
Der in Los Angeles this year. In 1880,
the last year for which figures are avail
able, the records in England and Wales
combined, with much greater popula-
ton than Los Angeles county, show there
were only 100 murders.
The contrast is startling. Even more
so is the apparent reason for the low
murder rate abroad-of the 100 murders
reported, only 10 were unsolved and un-
punished.
Los Angeles is no better and no worse
than any other large American commun-
ity. 1t happens to be of particular in
terest because of its proximity. Our AM
erican crime record is a disgrace and our
indifference toward it is even worse.
