.A.A.A. TURNSTO' So
FARM PROBLEMS
Faces Delicate lob of Read
iustment as Drought Cuts
SurpIuses.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Battered from its tangle with the
worst drought in the Nations history,
the A. A. A. is turning toward its 1885
adjustment battle.
Of1cials worried at times in recent
months over reaction TO crop curtail-
ment in the face of drought, thanked
the latter for reducing surpluses in
one-third of the time they had ex-
pected 1t would take.
Next year, as q result, they face the
delicate problem of adjusting supply
to demand instead Of limiting acreage
wholesale. That 1t will require more
thought and ingenuity than has been
exercised before was freely admitted.
Seek to Enlist Farmers.
A step to bring farmers more whole
heartedly into the A. A. A. fold was in
the making as the administration
drafted plans for q poll OF the 5000 900
who participated in 1884 production
control. They will be asked to voice
their views on what 1885 should bring
in adjustment plans after digesting
economic facts governing the situation
to be published by the administration.
The move marked o departure from
former policy when, under pressure to
get the 1884 program under way, the
administration itself drafted the pro-
gram, asked the approval of a few
Representative farm leaders, and went
ahead
Under the new policy. officials be-

advance to support the program
adopted and self-criticism may be
substituted for criticism Of the admin
istration II 1t does not work out as
expected.
VIII Try Plan on Hogs.
Because corn and hogs are primarily
domestically- consumed crops, they will
furnish the experimental ground for
the poll plan. Hope had been held
that it might be tried first on wheat,
but international complications at the
London Wheat Conference and pre-
mature publication Of this country's
intention to increase wheat paintings
next year by per cent spoiled the
intention.
The administration saw In the
partial breaking of the drought in
MidweStern States q possible return
to normal weather through the Fall
and Winter, allowing farmers to plant
Winter wheat on time and possibly
to harvest . little emergency forage
to meet the severe live stock feeding
problem this Winter.
However, the A. A. A., Farm Credit
Administration and Federal Relief
Administration continued drought
relief activities, admitting that they
must continue until the early Sum-
mer months of 1885.
Cheered by Price Index.
The A. A. A.. while giving due credit
to the drought, was cheered by the
report that the index of prices re-
ceived by farmers had increased seven
points, from 80 to 81, during the
month ended August IS and that the
exchange. value of farm products In
creased five points to II per cent of
pre-war parity.
Chester C. Davis, farm admins
traitor, warned farmers, however, not
to expect unlimited continuance of
that rise or assurance that prices
would continue at peak levels.
I'VE want to get prices at fair
level and hold them there" he said.

Byrns Sees Uprising Against
"RaW Deal" and Roose-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A growth in Democratic registra-
tions for the November elections is
described by Representative Joseph w.
Byrns Of Tennessee as an uprising"
against the "old, or raw deal" and an
Endorsement by the people OF PreSi-
dent Roosevelt.
AS chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, Byrns,
seeking reelection OF an overwhelm-
ingly Democratic House, said that IF
it hadn't been for the G. o. p. there
would have been no need for the
NJ r. A. the F. Z. r. A. and the

Sees Recovery Growing.
Spokesman for the old, or raw deal
are loud in their denunciation of the
so called alphabetical agencies of the
Government" he said. They weep
over the destruction of little pigs and
piously insist that the drought Is a
manifestation of divine wrath, but
all the time the recovery program, like
Old Man River just keeps rolling
along"
Byrns said the price of hogs was
three times the quotation in the last
of the Hoover Administrations; that
wheat was over 81 bushel and cotton
more than IL cents pound.
Senators Dickinson, Republican, of
Iowa, and Hastings, Republican, of
Delaware, gold dust twins of the old
deal, may grow apoplectic' declaring
there has been no improvement" he
said, but the people know better.
Know Roosevelt Leadership.
"They know that in President Roose-
welt they have a leader who can be
neither brow-beaten nor bought, who
has faith in the ultimate destiny of
mankind and is unafraid to sail un-
charted seas. There Is no other ex-
PLANTATION for the great growth in
Democratic registration throughout
the Nation during the last two years"
The trend toward the Democratic
party, he said, was shown in Illinois,
Minnesota, California. West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Ohio, where regis
trations and primary votes in the
Democratic party increased.

The B. M. T. oficials decided to issue

that they needed the money and here
was a way to get it. They gave insult

1t was q very good friend of Gen
Johnson-a pal, in fact-who has been
getting him all his good publicity
lately, unbeknown to him.
This anonymous pal first let out the
news that the general had quarreled
with the President and resigned, that
the President had called him back
and restored him to the N. r. A
throne.
In fact, some Of the generals gooc
friends suspect that the pal planned
the resignation. The idea behind II
would be, of course, that, after John.
sons resignation, industry would sci
up a clamor for his return, and thus
he would outwit his enemies.
Whether or not it was planned that
way. the generals enemies have GER
tainly been outwitted, temporarily at
least.
Bankers Quick Money.
The recent siding of movement oi
the Government bond market had q
method behind it. 1t was not due to
lack of confidence in Mr.. Morgen-
thau's radio speech. That speech was
we'll received in financial quarters.
Instead, the bankers apparently
decided they could make quick money
by selling their present holdings OF
Governments and taking Mr.. Morgen-
thau's new bonds, coming out this
month. at cheaper prices. They would
get a higher price for their present
holdings than they would have to pay
for the new bonds.

delaying the financing until next
month.
