INCOME OF FARMERS
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Stronger Markets for Dairy and
Poultry Products Impor-
tant Factors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics reported yesterday that the
cash income of farmers during March
was $4l7,000,000, compared with S275,-
100000 in March, 1888.
The March. 1884, income was COM
posed of $4080 100000 from the sale
of farm products and S9,000,000 from
rental and benefit payments made by
the Farm Administration for acreage
reduction.
The bureau estimated the total cash
income during the first three months
of 1884 at $1,312,O0O,00O, of which
$97,000000 came from benefit pay
mentS. Income for the first quarter
of 1888 was S873,0O0,OO0.
Stronger markets for dairy and
poultry products were important con-
tributions to the increase, the bureau
said, and income from cattle sales Off
set the reduced income from hog mar
ketingS.
Income from farm products in April
is expected to be between $375 900 900
and 425,000,000. April is regarded
by the bureau as the low point in
income during the year. Income from
live stock is expected to be larger in
April than in March, but bureau
officials said this increase will likely
be offset to some extent by decline
in income from grains resulting from
recent declines in grain prices.

COTTON CONTROL
.EXPER|MENT|SLAW
Roosevelt Signs Measure
Limiting Crop to TO-.
100000 Bales.
By the Associs ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt yesterday
turned the Farm Administration to its
first experiment in compulsory con-
troll of farm production when he
signed the Bankhead bill limiting to
100000 bales the amount of cotton
which can be sold from the 1884 crop.
The method of determining allot-
ments for the 1000 cotton-p producing
counties within the States is now be-
ing worked out.
In signing the bill, President Roose-
velt said:
1t aims to prevent a very small mi
nority who have ~efused to cooperate
with their neighbors and Govern
ment from impairing the effectiveness
OF the current cotton program which
now includes 80 per cent of the cot
ton acreage"
He added 'the cotton States have
found it impossible to act independ-
emily or in unison to secure reduction
of cotton acreage and "a Democratic
Government has consented to using
Federal power in an attempt to do So
Administration Of the act during the
year of its life will be left to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace, who has
expressed himself as extremely du-
biouS of compulsory control, but will
ing TO try it as an experiment. The
Secretary left Friday for Nebraska
City, Nebr.. and could not be reached
for a statement.
The act provides that no State
which has produced as much as ESQ.,
600 bales in any year during the
l928-32 base period shall be given an
allotment of less than 100000 bales.
The remaining bales will be allotted
to other cotton States on the basis of
the percentage that the average pro-
duction of each State during the base
period is of the total production of all
States during that period.
Administration officials said it was
expected producers who signed volun-
tary production control contracts
would receive certificates exempting
from the taxation provisions of the
act the amount of cotton normally
produced on the acreage permitted
under their contracts.

.C0NNERY ATTACKS.
n. R. A. ASFA|LURE
House Labor Chairman
Charges Employers Con-
troll Codes.

A sharp attack on n. R A. code
administration, particularly the fail
ure of the agreements to reduce work
ing hours, was made yesterday by
Chairman Connery of the House La
Dor Committee during informal hear
ings in the Senate Office Building.
The hearings were arranged by
Connery and Senators Costigan, Dem
ocrat, OF Colorado; Cutting, Repub-
lican. of New Mexico, and La Toilette,
Republican, OF Wisconsin.
Not only are the codes in effect
dominated by the employing interests,
as they alone govern American indus
tries, through their control OF code
authorities, but. contrary to the un-
derStandlng and intent of Congress.
very few Of these codes provide for
any representation Of the workers, -
Connery said.
Those in control of manufacturing
in this country have not only repu-
dated their implied promise to the
Congress of the United States, but
they have ignored, or refused the
request of the President Of the United
States. publicly made on March 5,
that hours of labor be shortened, and
wages of the industrial workers be
increased.
The House Labor Committee has
again unanimously reported 30-hour
work week bill with wages to be paid
to the workers for 80 hours which
they now receive for 40 hours or more
per week.
THE vast majority of codes ap-
proved by Gen. johnson provide for
a work week OF 40 hours. We are
told that the average hours prevailing
in 1929 were so per week, and, some
persons try to create the impression
that the reduction from so hours per
week to 40 hours per week would alb
sorb many of the unemployed"

AS a result the child even

I can recall an incident of
a family in which the baby
called his cod liver oil, "clank-

the word and as a result he
never heard it called anything
else. He came home to mother
in tears one day because his
playmates had bitterly teased
him for using the word.
Give your youngster credit

the correct term for various

pronounce them.
And discourage his use of
"baby talk" as soon as he is

Advice
To
Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Who Can Define It9

Who Can Define It?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am almost 20 years old and
have been going out for about
three years. I am considered
attractive, a good dresser ard
an excellent dancer. I don't
drink or smoke, and heavy pet
ting is entirely out Of my line.
The trouble is I can't seem to
keep any one boy friend. OF
course, I have boy friends, lots
Of them, but thev come and 20.
What's wrong with me?
I would like very much to
have a steady boy friend at my
age. I love to go places, but
still I am not what you would
call a "gold-digger." My folks
are very good to me, and try to
help me entertain boys when
they call for me, yet they come
three or four times and then
drift away.
PUZZLED.
Why some girls, not even
pretty, have strings Of boys
clamoring for dates, while much
prettier ones are neglected, has
been one Of the unsolved mys-
teries Of all time.
A clergyman Of my acquaint-
ance invited a niece from one
Of the old European countries.
She wasn't pretty, her clothes
were rather funny and old-fash-
ioned, but she about wrecked
her uncle's congregation.
It happened that I had an
opportunity of seeing this young
siren in action. Her witchery
was all in the way she looked
at a victim, as far as I could
observe. She had fine eyes, and
she looks at all and sundry as
a drowning creature might look
at a floating bit of timber.
Apart from the look that
packed such a wallop, she had
a delightful way Of leading q
man on to talk about himself,
his adventures and ambitions.
The uncle married her off ina
mediately and the siren is q de-
voted wife.
Learn to be q good cook, pre-
pare nice little after -the-movie
Suppers, and invite the boy
friend in to share them. The
penniless wife of one Of our
outstanding diplomats turned
the trick with perfect coffee.
