Twenty-eight years ago a Depart

fortune by raising and lowering q
window shade.
And to avoid just that happening
again, the Crop Reporting Board OF
the department goes through such .
rigmarole of secrecy as is seldom seen
outside of detective story.
The man at the window curtain had
access to the figures compiled by the
department as to the total production
of the big speculative crops.
Strolling to the window, he nom
chalantly wigwagged his information
to a confederate who promptly cleaned
up on the produce exchanges.
"Just that one slip in "8 years." re-
marked William F. Callander, chair
man of the Crop Reporting Board. as
he told some of the precautions that
have made that record possible.
When a report is to be prepared
for example the Winter wheat report
yesterday-he and his men use about
every device except false whiskers.

Of real estate that airplane service
between Chicago and st. Paul was
interrupted. Pilots reported that the
dust particles had invaded the upper
portions Of the air-as high as 10000
feet, and were sweeping eastward at
the rate Of go to 100 miles an hour.
Experts said the "black billiards"
were without precedent in intensity
and the area involved within the past
20 years.
One estimate was that some 12,000,-
900 pounds of dust had been swept
into Chicago-four pounds for every
man. woman and child in the city.
Many persons suffering from sinus
and eye infections were sent hurry
ing to specialists for relief.
Blinded by dust, a woman was killed
in a motor vehicle accident near Du-
pree. S. Oak, another woman died at
Sykeston, N. OAK, she was pinned
beneath a chicken coop, blown over
by the high wind.
Meanwhile crop experts agreed that
the wheat crop had been impaired.
and reports said that other crops had
also suffered.
So serious was the water shortage
in some localities that municipal en-
bargoes were established on drinking
water.
Nor was the Central West alone in

ATLANTA, May IL CP.-The South
reJolceo today over prospects of
ABUNDANT crops. Most Southern States
reported favorable weather conditions
and indications of excellent harvests
Only three States-the Carolinas
and Tennessee-have had dry weather
Three others Georgia, Florida and
Louisiana, had too much rain.
Small fruits and grain suffered
somewhat in North Carolina. Cotton
needed rain, and so did tobacco. Lack
OF rain held up tobacco growers in
South Carolina. While Tennessee had
only half-normal April rainfall, Uni
versity officials said there was no
threat of drought. The dry weather
has helped cotton and corn in Tennes-
see.
The Commissioner of Agriculture in
Mississippi reported the weather the
best Il have ever seen"
Wet weather held up cotton plant
ing in Georgia two weeks and late
freezes killed half the peach crop,
promising better prices.
A little warm weather was needed
in Louisiana for cotton, corn and
sugar cane to catch up.
The severe Winter retarded Virginia
crops, but the wheat estimate called
for more than 100000 bushels above
last years yield
Cotton had to be replanted in South
and Central Alabama because of the
cold weather. Prospects were described

Not Senator Wheeler.

If Mr.. Roosevelt were Senator
Wheeler. he would not wait that long
He would hop out now into the world
market and bid up silver prices and
buy all the silver in sight.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is not Senator
Wheeler.
In fact, Mr.. Roosevelt recently was
bitten by the gold bug. He went out
into the world market to buy gold on
the theory that increasing the world
gold price would increase commodity
prices. That idea did not work out
He bought the gold, all right, but
commodity prices refused to bulge
commensurately.
In view Of that experience, there is
no reason to believe Mr.. Roosevelt
will be in hurry to try that same
thing with silver. No one anywhere
near the White House expects he will
do it.
Would Increase Reserves.
The only practical domestic effect
expected from the silver plan as first
reported, would be to increase the
excess reserves in Federal Reserve
banks. which already are too high.
At least the Federal Reserve Board
issued a release a few days ago say
ing the one and one-half billions of
existing excess reserves would prove
dangerous if recovery comes. because
banks would be encouraged to use
that money for speculative purposes.
II Mr.. Roosepelt buys one and
one-half billions OF silper he will
issue money for it, using the siluer
as a base That is not imitation in
the ordinary sense of that ,oord.
1t is only expansion of iDell-bdcked
currency by one and one-halt bill
lions
That currency will be added to the
excess reserves in Federal Reserve
banks.
The sum total Of the transaction
would be to double the danger pointed
out by the Federal Reserve Board a
few days ago
That is another reason why you
may be sure Mr.. Roosevelt will never
do 1t.

As a matter Of fact there were
two horses in the trade.
One was the naturalization of sill
yer. Naturalization is a big word,
but its meaning is not commensurate
with It's size. The idea behind 1t Is
that Mr.. Roosevelt will take the silver
off the hands of those spectators Gn-
veStors is a more polite term) whose
names were recently sent to the Sem
ate by Treasury Secretary Morgan.
thau. He will pay them so cents an
ounce for their silver That will net
them a neat profit-not as much as
they hoped for. but at least as much
as they had reason to expect.
That ,Uill cost Mr.. Roosevelt
around 100000, 900, which is small
change as far as the currency
problem goes.
1t is cheap price to pay for keep
ing the silver agitators quiet for a few
months.
"Some Time" Is NebuIous.
The other horse is a ghost.
That is the one which involves a
congressional decree that the cur
rency basis should be changed some
time in the future to establish a 25
per cent silver backing for money and
Is per cent gold.
The some time is rhdt makes
that colt look nebulouS
Mr.. Roosevelt Would be permitted
to york to,Card the goal fired by
congressional decree in anu man.
ner he ,Uished ---- --
Disinterested inquiry shows that II
he proceeded to carry it out in the
normal way it would be about 80
years before he accomplished the
25-75 ratio.
Our gold backing now is about five
billions. Some people count it seven
and three quarter billions, but they
include the stabilization fund and the
general fund, which should not, strict
ly speaking, be counted as gold re-
serve for currency purposes.
Our silver bullion reserves Nav Z
were puny one and one-half mil
lions, not billions. The Treasury also
had a half billion silver dollars, most
Of which are used as backing for sill
yer notes. BY the most optimistic
estimates, You could not consider the
existing silver backing in the Treas
ury at more than one-third Of a bill
lion Goughly), because the silver dol
lars are only three-fourths silver.
Would Take Years.
On this basis, Mr.. Roosevelt will
have to acquire somewhere between
one and one-half billions and two bill
lions Of silver at an average price of
81 an ounce before he reaches the
25-75 ratio.
But there are only 50,000,000
ounces OF siluer produced in this
country at the peak OF production.
So if Mr. Roosevelt purchases only
from domestic producers at the
average OF 81 an ounce it means
only $780, 900, 900 OF purchases year.
To get one and one-half billions of
silver reserve that way would take
him 80 years.
Even the most optimistic Democrat
will concede that Mr.. Roosevelt will
not be President 80 years from now

to be at the crossroads, next week will

the deputies who pushed through the
appointment of a commission to revise
the constitution. overhaul the govern
ment and strengthen the Presidents
powers.
There will be. also, large program
of weighty problems to be considered
beginning with the first session May

One will involve war debt payments
to the United States. Payment of the
debt has had no open advocates re-
Gently. but although France has de.
faulted for nearly two years. action
in the matter is proposed at every

Debts Up Tuesday.
Now, however, a different aspect is
placed on the problem by recent
declarations Of President Roosevelt,
and the Cabinet decided today to dis
cuss the question at length Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Government is ex-
pected to let the next installrnent
date. June Is, pass without action.
Also on the agenda are these issues:
Premier Doumergues emergency de-
crees must be ratifled-if not, the gov
eminent will be overthrown.
Next years budget must be out
lined.
A vast public works program.
Financial scandals necessitate re-
forms. among which may be strict
government supervision of banking.
Wheat is an ever-present problem
because the fixed" price did not stay
fixed
Electrical re-districting is advocated
by many to lessen the number Of
parties. One plan is to make large
districts represented by a dozen or
more deputies
Sandwiched in somewhere is likely
to be debate on relief for American
firms from payment of about 1900
100000 francs in double taxation,
some Of it dating back many years.
