Editor The Times-NcWs:
During the summer OF 1888
farmers were paid to pillow up one
fourth of their cotton. In the
spring of 1884 the farmers are to
be paid not to plant four acres
out of ten. Tobacco farmers are
being carried through a similar
process. For not signing up vol

er prohibited from selling his
product at all or be penalized by
q heavy tax on each pound. That
is what the Bankhead bill IS for.
And by the way, every southern

Next year Dictator TugWel!
will simply tell each southern
farmer how many acres he may
plant of each crop. There will be
no signing up "volunteerily' and
no rent for idle lands. Farmers
whose lands produce less than a
half bale to the acre will be pro-
hibited from planting cotton at
all. That will leave out half Of the
cotton lands of North Carolina.
The same thing will eventually be
applied to all crops, if Roosevelt
stays in power.
The Tugwell plan means that

of all agricultural crops for mar

STATE TO GET
HUGE AMOUNT
FOR RELIEF

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 7. U.R)-
Informed that California may re-
ceive $10000,o0O monthly in feder-
al unemployment relief this winter
California county supervisors met
today to draft a relief plan.
The word came from Charles w.
Deterding, Jr., Sacramento county
manager representing the super
visors at Washington. At present
the government is providing $4000,-
900 monthly
Under a tentative plan discussed
by the supervisors the federal aid
would be merged with the proceeds
of a proposed $24, 100000 state bond
issue. The pooled funds, distribut-
ed under federal supervision, would
take care of all unemployment re-
lief and would leave to the counties
the task of caring for the INDECENT.
Gov Frank Merriam is to present
the state bond plan to the legis-
lature when he calls it in special
session within the next few days.

RIDDLE
To SCIENCE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 7. U.p)--
Bewildered scientists sought an ex-
planation of Southern California Is
freak summer storm today while
mountainous waves continued tc
lash a 70-mile strip of coastline,
causing damage far above the $780,
900 mark
Emergency crews guarded long
rows of sandbag bulwarks at Mali
bu Beach, favorite retreat of the
Hollywood film colony, when the
angry seas suddenly shifted their
attack from Long Beach after des-
troying one pier and damaging an
other.
Parts of Roosevelt highway bor-
dering the coast at Malibu were
covered by the surf, and easements
of several homes at the beach were
flooded.
Scientists differed as to the cause
of the waves which have pounded
the coast at intervals for the past
three weeks. Arriving in snake-like
darts from apparently great dis
tances, the tides have battered
small sections of the beach for brief
periods and then retreated to at
tack anew.
Some observers blamed the rumb-
lings of earth disturbances beneath
the sea. Others thought storms far
at sea might affect the ocean cur
rents. There was no local disturb
ance to explain the mountainous
waves. Oceanographers said the
weather had been particularly calm
and serene for month.
Long Beach officials estimated
damage to the Pine avenue pier at
more than 100000, with only a
small section left intact. A 25-foot
gap in the new Horseshoe Rainbow
pier attested to the intensity of the
attack.
The death of John NJ. Foster,
whose body was washed up by the
surf, remained unexplained al
though officials said he might have
either lost his life in the collapse
of the Pine avenue pier or fallen
into the surf at another time.

FOOD PO|SONS
MANY VETS
At SAWTE[LE

SAWTELLE, Calf, Sept. 7. U.P)
More than $50 Spanish American
and World war veterans, residents
of the national military home here,
were under treatment for food
poisoning in government hospitals
today.
Fifty of the veterans were report
ed in serious condition although
Col. James Mattison, chief medical
officer, said no fatalities were an
ticipated. ~, ...s,..- ~.
The stricken men were part of a
group of 1000 who partook of a
noon meal of ham and vegetables
yesterday DR.. Mattison intimated
that he expected at least 100 more
veterans to report soon for treat
ment as the effects of the poison
ing spread
Col. John A. Hadley, commandant
of the military home, ordered a
dual investigation of the epidemic.
Samples of boiled ham, canned
corn, fresh tomatoes and favored
gelatine were sent to the govern
ment laboratory here while other
samples will be tested by the Los
Angeles county health department.
DR.. Mattison reported that pre-
liminery tests showed the vegetables
and gelatine were not tainted. He
said the homes meat supply is
supplied by monthly contract.
The most dangerously i'll were the
first stricken, as is customary with
ptomaine, physicians said. Within
two hours of lunch time men be-
gan collapsing as they walked across
the grounds and through barracks.
Confusion quickly spread as am
balances rushed the ill men to the
nearby government hospital. Ex-
ira physicians and nurses were
summoned to attend the stricken,
who quickly filled all available
wards. Emergency hospitals were
established in vacant barracks, and
meanwhile authorities of the home
quieted the veterans.
Those less seriously i'll felt the
first effects shortly before dinner
and reported for treatment. AS the
number of patients increased, IA
internes were added to the medical
staff and extra nurses were called
from hospitals in Los Angeles.
Physicians emphasized that the
food poisoning, when treated in
time, was not dangerous illness.
The treatment consisted principally
of stomach pumping and the ad-
ministration of emetics and anti
doteS.
