Summer Farm Income Climbs
14Per Cent Over Year Ago

The $4,000 who will take the
census will receive about a
months employment. No definite
decision has been reached, Austin
said, as to whether all would be
political appointees. Some may
be taken from relief rolls. In
previous censuses, Senators, Rep
resentatives and State committees
Of the party in power have
selected the enumerators.
The statistics collected will
have an important bearing on the
development of the Administra-
tons agricultural acreage ad-
justment plans, subsistence home
steads, marginal lands, land utili-
cation, soil erosion, farm credit,
farm housing and labor employ
ment.
The movements in population
since 1880, Austin said, have been
so great that the census Of that
year no longer furnishes a salts
factory base. Many thousands
are thought to have returned to
the farms, while the usual flow
of young people from farms to
cities has been greatly reduced.
Austin said the new census would
help to determine the trend def
nitely.

CALL WAITED
BY TREASURY
BY ROBERT S. THoRNBURGH

BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
Call of about billion dollars
in the outstanding $3,5O0.O0O, 900
Fourth Liberty AZ per cent
bonds for retirement April Is
was anticipated at the Treasury
today.
The call for these securities
must be issued by the Treasury
October Is. Secretary Morgen-
THAI said today that no an
nouncement would be made until
next Monday morning.
About seven billion of the
Fourth Liberties were originally
issued. The issue was gradually
Whitfield down until there are
outstanding around $500, 000,-
600. The Treasury called $780,
100000 for October Is having
offered exchange issues in the
form of four-year notes and 1912
year bonds. The exchange Of
fering will be closed Thursday.
To Cut Interest
In general the Treasury plans
to cut the interest rate in re-
funding of the Fourth Liberty
Loan by from l to 2 per cent.
Where long-term issues are Of
fered in exchange for the Az
per cent bonds it was expected,
that at least l per cent in in
tereSt could be saved.
The Treasury has adopted a
policy of retiring callable bonds
whenever it is possible to cut the
interest rate. Furthermore it is
the policy to refund short term
issues, with the exception of
bills, into bonds because of the
greater convenience of handling
the long term securities.
May Have Issue
In December, when close to a
billion dollars in short term
certificates fall due the Treasury
plans TO nave a bond issue If
market conditions justify. In
vestorS at that time probably
will be given their choice of both
long and short term securities
which may be exchanged for the
maturing obligations.
Unless market conditions
change the Treasury was ex-
pected to offer an exchange issue
of securities for additional
Fourth Liberties to be called.
Both a note and bond issue were
anticipated by the market, the
notes to bear about 21a per cent
with a maturity of not to ex-
coed four years and the bonds
of about 1912 year maturity
with a rate of around 3A per
cent.

Farm income for June, July and
August totaled 1903 million dol
lars, an increase Of IA per cent
over the corresponding quarter of
1888 and of IS per cent over 1882.
according to Louis H. Bean, AAA
economic adviser.
Including benefit payments I'M
der the AAA, farm income for
August alone was 80 per cent
above the low level reached in the
first quarter of 1888 and 80 per
cent below the predepression level.
Prices paid by farmers on
August Is averaged Is per cent
above the level of March, 1888.
This indicates the purchasing
power of farm products in ex-
change for commodities had a net
increase of A. per cent, Bean said.
Meanwhile, the Census Bureau
completed the Setup for the 1885
census Of agriculture, upon which
$4,000 enumerators will start work
January /.
Because of havoc wrought by
the drought this summer and by
the depression of the past four
years, it will probably be the
most important enumeration since
the inception of farm statistics
in 1840," Director William I,
Austin declared.

EQUAL CARRIER
TAKING URGED

Taxation of railroads and their
competitors, such as barge lines,
highway traffic and aircraft,
should be equalized, according to
Chairman Jones of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation.
Otherwise, in Mr.. Jones opinion,
it will be necessary to substitute
the railroads.
This statement was made after
a conference at the White House
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Chair.
man Jones. The nature of the
discussions was not disclosed, al
though Mr.. Jones expressed the
opinion that the railroads would
need about $30,00O,000 in loans
from the RFC during the re-
mander of the year.
Mr.. Jones had not pursued his
study of the railroad situation to
an extent which would permit
him to make any detailed recon-
mendationS. He remarked, how.
ever, it was not considered Of par.
ticular consequence whether the
taxation was imposed by the Fed
eral or State government. Mr..
Jones said:
Interstate highway traffic
should be taxed on q plane with
the railroads.
"If the Interstate Commerce
Commission can control rail-
roads, some agency should be
employed to fix the status of
all interstate traffic"
