Wallace's Plan to Buy Hogs
Secretary Announces Government Program to Pur-
chase Swine to Aid Needy and Increase
Price of Pork.

fray the costs of processing, storage
and freight. 1t is important to note,
Furthermore, that meat so distributed
by the emergency relief administration
will not be permitted to come into COM
petition with meat sold in the regular
trade channels.
There Is the emergency program for
the corn belt 1t is necessary that it
go into effect at once; hope We can
announce the Inauguration of the pro-
gram within very few days. By Octo-
ber l the goal should be reached.
THE necessity for haste will be un-
derstood by the people of the corn belt.
To run the program as economical as
possible, we must make the purchases
before much more weight has been
added to the Spring pigs; we have to
race against time, in order to put the
plan over before narrowing begins; and
in regions where drought has left a
feed shortage, where farmers are being
compelled to send their stuff to market
unfinished and at a sacrifice. we can
perhaps offer some help.
Speed Declared Essential.
But above all these considerations,
there is the necessity for speed in
bolstering the purchasing power of the
corn belt In this national program
of raising wages and farm incomes,
it is essential that every region OF
the United States have an immediate
share The corn belt needs it, and
the industries which are part OF or
which cater to the corn belt need it.
The farm price of hogs is still only
about half of the fair exchange value
ment act. The emergency program
will add to the corn belt farmers in
come in two ways: First. by the pur-
chase of sows and light pigs at price
above the prevailing market; and sec
ond, as a result of the reduced supply
of hogs available for market, by the
higher prices likely to be paid for hogs
marketed in the normal manner dur
ing the next eight or nine months :"
The packers and others interested
in the hog business have agreed to CO.
operate. I am not worried about this
emergency program. but am terribly
concerned lest the corn belt should fail
to recognize how really dangerous this
program can be Unless it is tied up
closely to a longtime program.
Unless this emergency program to
reduce hog tonnage is followed i'm
mediately by a definite program that
calls for a substantial reduction in
corn acreage and production in 1884, as
well as a material decrease in the
number of soTs faTowing in the
Spring of 1884, 1 for one could not
accept it. The after-effects, otherwise,
would be disastrous to hog prices dur
ing the 1934-35 season and for some
time thereafter. An artificial increase
in hog prices, unless accompanied by
substantial advance in corn prices,
would probably lead to an expansion
in the 1884 Spring pig crop"

paid by those who turn the swine into
marketable pork, will be considerably
less than cent a pound"
Wallace said the plan originated with
hog farmers and their representatives
to meet the emergency facing producers
as a result of this years short feed crop,
adding:
There are some things about it that
we do not like, but we are putting 1t
into effect because we have not been
able to think of anything as good"
Tonnage to Be Reduced.
He estimated the purchases will re-
duce the total tonnage of swine mar
keted for the 1933-34 marketing season
starting October l by up to 1900 000, 900
pounds. or about Is per cent of the
hog tonnage annually marketed.
If past experience is any guide, a
reduction of Is to Is per cent in mar
ket supplies should increase hog prices
for the season bv anywhere from 25
to 80 per cent" Wallace said. Prices
paid for these pigs and sows will, I
believe be sufficient to warrant the CO.
operation of hog producers"
The Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, Wallace continued has
indicated its desire to dispose of all
the meat to needy persons. 1t will be
purchased by the relief group at a
price sufficient to defray the costs Of
processing, storage and freight.
He said the meat will not be sold
in competition with that sold in regular
trade channels, and that inedible por-
tions which will be converted into by
products should be distributed in such
q manner as not to upset the market. .
The program will be followed up
quickly by drafting Of corn and hog
program Wallace said, asserting 10000
900 acres of corn should be taken out
of production in order to ADJUST, sup
plies of swine and corn. grown chiefly
as feed for hogs, to future demand.
Unless a long-range program was
certainty, Wallace said he would be
unable to approve of the emergency
program because of its potential effect
on hog prices in coming years.

A MERICA is a problem hunters
IA paradise. Every problem that
racks the world today can be found
in America in an exaggerated form.
The one thing to remember is that
it never is safe to judge anything
in America by its present state;
you have to figure on where it's
headed, instead.
So says L. P. Jacks, English edu-
Gator in My American Friends"
one of the pleasantest and, I think,
shrewdest of all recent overseas
studies of American life.
DR.. Jacks has toured the republic
extensively; he has kept his eyes
open en- route.
He finds America a land of glar-
ing contrasts. Some of the things he
saw here moved him to black
despair; others filled him with I'M
bounded hope.
American cities, he says, display
humanity at its very best and its
very worst. Beauty and ugliness
wisdom and folly, nobility and
crime, all are jumbled together, he
says, and from the mixture you can
draw practically any deduction you
wish
All in all, he is inclined to be
more optimistic than otherwise ir
his conclusions. What the world Of
the future is to be like, he admits
depends largely on two nations

At length, the long stretch was
ended.
THE funeral was gloomily correct

who was old, and Bessie Thrope,
looking a little more bedraggleo
than usual in her shabby black.
Ida was aware of the Smartness
of her own black attire. She stud
led Barrett Colvin, who was staring
at his hands, gripped between knees.
1t was amazing, Ida thought, to
realize how easily he had been
managed.
She supposed she was in for a
bad half-hour with Vance Carter
who would remind her of that prom
Use to divorce Bentwell-a thing she
intended to do in time, but only
when the right man appeared. How
white Elinor was! And how stuffy
Bentwell looked. Sentimental fool
he actually was blinking!
What perfect old dodo the cler-
gyman was! Well, Ida knew her
share wouldn't be diminished by
him, who, despite Miss Elias stern
disapproval, had had candles placed
upon the altar.
Ida looked extremely pensive
because she wanted to smile. So
terribly apt, that remark!
Just an hour or two more and
they'd all hear the will
The drive to the burial ground
was long and cold, despite the heat
in the cars. The snow that had
lain for several days had, coating
of SCOT. The open grave and the
damp earth was depressing. Even
Ida felt the dreariness in such
passing. She saw Elinor and saw
Barrett Colvins anxious eyes on the
girl.
THEN the coffin was lowered.
Il There was the thud of earth
on it's lid-and the gloomy affair
was over.
An hour later, Mr.. Grotner stood,
long fingers tapping the chenille
cover of the library table. They
were all there before him-Bessie,
Jim, Bentwell, Ida, Barrett Colvin,
Miss Smythe, and the servants.
Ida, assured and half-smiling,
was thinking that she might take
a house at Cannes for the remain
der of the winter with her share.
Bessie was hoping there would be
enough to make things easier for
jim. Jim was considering a house
with more room around it. The
children needed space in which to
play.
Barrett Colvin thought of moth
ing but the fact that he must not
show what he felt, must not even
look at Elinor, sitting beside her
father who reeked of Scotch and
swayed a little, walking.
Mr.. Grotner cleared his throat.
The rustling and motion ceased;
tension was in the air. Mr.. Grot-
ner began reading a long preamble
in which Miss Ella rendered to God
her gratitude for being all that she
had been.

The chauffeur's face redeemed
from the stares of men and women
in the cars they passed Lidas
voice was so loud and high pitched
it could be heard through the glass.
I pity that girl" the chauffeur
thought.
Now Ida was laughing-a shrill,
sneering, hysterical laugh. So far
as the chauffeur could hear there
had been no reply at all from Miss
Elinor.

more deeply as he opened the door

In one way, she was glad that she
had done what she had. For an
other reason she deeply regretted it
Ida had said, eyes narrowing and
glittering, Think of your father

And now you-With a cigarettel-

looked at her. This realization crept
between every separate recollection

Ida sat up. She laughed shrilly.
"a pretty time you chose" she
began, 1t was the old story Elinor
had heard so often during those
two dreary days. A story of her
having ruined her parents future.
Ida punctuated her diatribe with
questions. And you know per-
fectly we'll how she felt-who tele-
phoned?"
Craven. Miss smythe is pros

Miss Smythe Frustrated! How
delicious! Your father can't go to

He'll probably be cut off with

though he gets nothing, he must
keep up appearances. I haven't a

Ida realized. There she would have,
at least, the satisfaction of treat

she felt for her.

Several Hundred Dollars Damage Results Stag
 Employees Escape Via Ladders

Two alarms from box IFS called out several companies of apparatus to extinguish fires in the Garden building East Main street at 1O:16 o'clock last evening and again at 12:lS o'clock this morning. The second call was for a threatening blaze, which was accompanied by such heavy smoke that tenants of the building had difficulty in es- caping Several members of the Stage Employees union climbed down ladders when they found their way out of the main entrance cut off by the smoke. Several hum dred dollars damage resulted. Sparks from the first fire were re- ported as having been the cause of the second blaze, but fire off, cials doubt this.
 A burning mattress in a store room on the second floor of the building was the cause of the first fire, which was discovered by Pa trolman Edward Hayes. A large number of spectators recruited principally from nearby theaters watched the firemen on their first trip. Chemicals were used to ex- tinguish the blaze.
 Patrolman William Santora mak- ing his rounds shortly after mid- night discovered the second blaze and sent in the alarm. The fire ap- pared threatening and four lines of hose were put into service. The fire ate into the partitions on the second and third floors and fire men spent over an hour checking up on the building, which is owned by the Mattatuck Land company.
