It was first believed to be one belonging to Tony Lem- bo, a schoolmate, who said he lost it a month ago, but the youngster told Detective William Foley today that his own helmet had been re- covered. There are no clues as to the ownership of the hat found on Choquette when his body was dis covered by his brother Saturday morning.
 Deputy Coroner smyth agrees with Detective Foley assistant medical examiner Harold Morrill, that Choquette could have saved himself by reaching his hands to the branch close to his head. He the body inudicating violence and no other signs of foul play.
 The main mystery in Choquette's death is the continued absence of any motive for self-destruction. The investigation thus far has dis closed no reasons for the youth s apparent self-inficted death. No difficulty at home or at school has been discovered that would be i'm portant enough to warrant a wish for suicide.<

Director Of Emergency Council

International News Service
Farmers of the nation collected
nearly a billion and a quarter
more dollars during the II
months ended in June than the
corresponding period prior to the
beginning of New Deal farm
relief measures, Donald r. Rich
berg, director of the National
Emergency Council, reported to
President Roosevelt today.
Mr.. Richberg, in his capacity
as secretary of the adminiStra'
tion's executive council. presented
a report stoutly maintaining the
beneficial effects of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administra,
ton, which has been a chief
target of administration
opponents.
Drought Cuts Gains
The Richberg report declared:
"The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration reports total
farm income from grains, cot
ton, fruits and vegetables, meat
animals, dairy products, and
poultry, including rental benefit
payments, from August, 1888, to
June, 1884, was $5,O83, 100000,
as compared with S3,881, 900, 900
for 1932-1933, when there were
no benefit payments or adjust
ment programs"
The drought, however, will cur
tail agricultural income for the
calendar year of 1884 to a gain OF
only 10 per cent over the calendar
year, 1888, Mr.. Richberg esti-
mated.
He cited rises in crop prices, but
observed
"a considerable part Of this
increase in prices in corn. wheat
and cotton reflects short crops
due to the drought"
Re-empIOyment Urged
The Federal official also under
lined for President Roosevelt a Sec
tion of his report which said that
to fully restore the price relation
ship that existed before the World
War and to give agriculture a
greater share of the national in
come, "it is essential that there be
more Of revival in industrial pro-
duction and more extensive re-em-
ployment."
Prices of seven basic agricul-
tural commodities in March, 1888,
were 81 per cent of their 1910.
1914 level. But, including bene,
fit payments, they have risen this
month to 116 per cent of preWar,
Mr.. Richberg declared. Of this
latter percentage, II per cent is
represented by benefit payments,
according to the report.
Loans to Farmers
Mr.. Richberg, however, pointed
out that on August s, prices paid
by farmers were estimated to be
122 per cent of prewar prices.
During the IA months ended
July 81, 1884, this administration
has loaned a total of $1,626, ,466,,
900 to farmers and farmers or,
ganizations, the report declared
OF this $1,067 ,023, 900 was farm
mortgage credit; $45, $4,000 was
production credit; $1O1, ,281 900
was loans to cooperative aSsocia
tions, and $1,523,0OO was loans by
the land bank commissioner to

Milk to Go Up
Higher prices for milk products
and many vegetables also were
forecast IN reports of the bu.

nounced:
"Marketings of hogs and other
livestock in 1885 will be smaller
than for several years, and
domestic prices of all meat ami
mails next year are expected
to be materially above present
levels"
Stating that effect of the
drought on the feed situation is
the principal factor in the daily
situation, the bureau observed sit
seems probable that there will be
more than the usual seasonal rise
in prices of dairy products from
midsummer to the winter peak"
Supplies Ample
With Department of Agriculture
officials reiterating there will be
an ample food supply, figures were
made public showing increases
over last year in canning crops.
Production of sweet corn is es-
timated 20 per cent above 1888
despite the drought. An increase
of nearly 33 per cent in the to-
mato crop was predicted.
Large supplies of beets, snap
