adopted during the organization S
sixty-eighth annual convention, was
taken speedily because hearings on
the proposed code are to get under
way at Washington today.
The measure asserted that adoption
of the code at this time would be
against the best interests of the
American farmer and our population
as a whole"
In his speech, DR.. Warren, monetary
adviser to President Roosevelt and
professor of farm financing at Cor

Three Ways of Balancing.
There are three possible ways of
getting this balance. Either the SLOW

prices in gold must rise throughout
