Only 5 Per Cent Reduction
Required For 1886 Due
to Shortage

Copies of the 1869 wheat ad-
justment contract have just been
received from the Agricultural
Adjustment administration by
County Agent Nate H. Bovee. He
outlines the principal provisions
for the benefit of prospective con-
tract signers as follows:
l. The contract covers the years
1868 inclusive, but provides
that the producer may withdraw
at the end of 1897 if he has COM
piled with his contract up to that
time. The secretary Of agricul-
ture may also terminate the con-
tract at the end of any crop year
by proclamation. Contract sign
ers can make known their wishes
to the secretary in regard to dis
continuing the program by initia-
ting a national referendum on
the question. Such a referendum
will be held if 25 percent Of the
contract signers in any principal
wheat growing region petition for
it.
2. The base years of the new
contract are the same as for the
old one-193O-32 for acreage and
1928-32 for production. Under GER
tain conditions, four-year and five
year base periods may be used, TO
meet special crop-rotation and
summer-fallow practices.
8. The extreme rate of acreage
reduction that may be required in
any one year is 25 per cent. For
1856, however, only a five per cent
reduction will be required. The
maximum reduction would be re-
quired only in case of an unusual
ly large supply and small demand.
4. The adjustment payment will
be the difference between the
average market price of wheat
during the marketing year, and
the flair exchange" price, as de-
termined by the relation of wheat
prices to other commodity prices
during the pre-war period. 1t will
be paid only on the proportion of
the crop normally consumed in
this country, which is 81 per cent.
About two-thirds of this payment
will be distributed as soon as poss-
ible, and the remainder, less nee
essary local administrative costs,
at the end of the marketing year.
5. The contract will be open to
all wheat producers who can es-
tablish a base production and
acreage. Under certain conditions,
farmers who did not grow wheat
in all of the base years may sign
contracts and receive adjustment
payments on a limited scale.
6. The land retired from wheat
production is to be used for pas
ture, hay, timber, shelter belts,
soil erosion prevention, weed con-
troll, soil Improvement and sum-
mer fallow.
For further information about
the contract, farmers are advised
to consult the county agent or
members of the county wheat al
lotment committee.

Aboard the yacht Sequoia, 'Presi-

mood, Mr.. Roosevelt smiled and waved
greetings in acknowledgment Of the
welcome.
Standing at his side on the yacht
was Senator Radcliffe. Others aboard
the vessel included Secretary and Mrs.
Wallace and Mr. and Mrs. David Gray

but to take part in a little ceremony

INCREASING NAV|ES
FEARED BY BRITISH
Rising Italy and Germany
and Japan's Demands
Disturb London.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 26.-Great Brit
ain faced tonight disturbing situations
in her three key naval zones-the Far
East, the Mediterranean and home
waters.
In the Far East Japan is vigorously
demanding naval parity, while more
closely at hand, Germany has already
been conceded naval strength IS per
cent of Britain's.
AS to her plight in the Mediterra-
mean, grave misgivings have been
aroused here because of reports from
Rome that Italy will demand in
creased naval tonnage at the projected
conference of the powers in London
December 2
Naval experts here pointed out that
Italy will have 100000 tons Of fight
ing craft at the end of 1886 under
present treaty regulations-a tonnage
equivalent to that of the British
massed force now concentrated in the
Mediterranean.
The British ships now in the Medi-
terranean compose the regular Medi-
terranean fleet, reinforced with most
of the home fleet.
Pin Hope on q. S. Stand.
Confronted by a rising Italy as we'll

Japan clamoring for expansion of her

British Expansion Seen.
The international naval atmosphere
will mean beyond doubt, some political
sources believe, that Great Britain
will raise her naval expansion pro-
gram a notch higher to comply with
recent authoritative announcements
that Britain must have secure and
lasting control in the Mediterranean" 4"
So far as the actual conference for
December Is concerned, the British
government has not received any
replies from the four powers-the
United States, Japan, France and
Italy-which have been invited to
attend.
Favorable replies, however, are
anticipated since formal invitations Of
this nature are not sent out without
previous "soundings" Of the interested

BRIDGE PIONEERS
PRAISED BY NICE
"Patience, Skill and InteIli.
gence" of Leaders Lauded
in Dedication.
BY the Associated Press.

CAMBRIDGE. Md, October 26.--
Praising the work Of the Eastern Shore
committees which laid the groundwork
for construction of the 7,000-foot span
over the Choptank River here, Gov
Harry w. Nice today dedicated the
structure and named it "the Emerson
C. Harrington Bridge, in honor of
Marylands wartime Governor"
After formally welcoming President
Roosevelt to the celebration, Nice out
lined in detail the work which the
committees had done since 1881, when
agitation for the bridge was begun.
Task Was Difficult.
"The task of the committee was not
easy" he said. These gentlemen at
that time being in the minority in so
far as public sentiment was con-
cerned, were obliged to educate the
taxpayers and the people generally as
to the wisdom and advantages Incl
dent to such a gigantic undertaking.
BY dint of great patience, coupled with
an unusual skill and intelligence, this
task was successfully completed by
this coterie Of patriotic, far-sighted
and progressive men from both Dor
chester and Talbot Counties.
1T is an undeniable fact that in
our counties, States and Nation, when
the people are educated and awak-
ened, although at times the process
seems slow and difficult, they may al
ways be trusted to solve the moSt
intricate and exacting problems in a
sensible manner.
THUS it has been in the solution Of
the problem Of building this much
needed public improvement standing
here as a lasting monument, both to
the practical sense Of the citizens Of
Dorchester and Talbot Counties and
the good judgment Of the people Of
our entire State.
Aid to State Praised.
ut IS most fitting on this occasion
that we give grateful recognition to
the deeds and acts of some of the dis
| tinguished and patriotic citizens who
have contributed their brains, their

Guide to States.

GulQe 10 StdItS.
As a further guide to States in at
tempting to estimate the amount and
duration OF benefits in enactiug their
laws, the board memorandum estab-
fishes the percentage of compensate
labor force unemployed in individual
States and in the entire country for
different years. For instance, for 1883
1t was found that this percentage for
the country was 34.8 while that for
Maryland was 311, for Virginia 27.4
and for the District of Columbia 23.1.
"On the basis of the extent and
duration of unemployment in the
compensate labor of the United
States as a whole during 1922-1933,"
1t was stated, ''it has been estimated
that sufficient funds would be COL
lected from a three per cent tax upon
payrolls to pay benefits equal to so
per cent of wages for IL weeks with
a three-week waiting period and for
~ weeks with q four-week waiting
period"
"A percentage OF unemployment
greater than the national figure
should dictate shorter benefit period
or lower benefits, it was pointed out.
The District, with its unemployment
satio in eligible occupations consid-
erably lower than the national aver
age for the years noted, contemplates
benefits from 40 to IS per cent of
wages, but not more than SIS per
week, for as long as 16 weeks. A
waiting period Of three weeks is speci-
fled. With three per cent tax
eventually to be imposed. the District
fund also will be supplemented by a
nat District contribution. Calcula-
tions here are affected, also, by the
fact that the District law reaches
down to employers of one or more
rather than eight as suggested by the
Federal standards.
