FOES Of AAA
CALLED Selfish
EXPLO|TERS

BRUNSWICK, Me-, April II Il.
N.S0. - Protection for farmers
against "ruinous" surplus, and as
surance to consumers against
famine, are the purposes Of the
ever-norTnal granary plan of the
AAA, Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace told the Bow
dom Institute of Politics today.
Assailing critics of the AAA pro-
gram as selfish groups of exploit
ers," Secretary wallace said OF
the compliments against the AAA
amendments pending in Congress:
Politicians who think the
powers of the Government
should be reserved for use OF a
few powerful mOnOpOlistS, and
who believe the farmer should
be a rugged individualist even il
1t kills him, do not like the
ever-nOrmaI granary plan. Spec
HIlatOrs who grow rich from wide
fluctuations of the markets that
accompany cycles Of surplus and
scarcity are against it,
Charging that the Government
lodged responsibility in the 1890
drought, which was "far less ex
,tensive but regionally acute" he
said:
Suppose the Federal Govern
ment last year should have
taken the course it did in 1890,
and determined to keep hands
off.
IF that had been the policy
Of the Government In 1894. the
weather disaster Of last year
would have heen appalling he.
yOOd any description.
"IS the AAA had not bought
them, millions Of cattle that
were saved would have died
from thirst or hunger. because
of the lack Of water and feed.
Hundreds Of thousand Of farm
people would have been utterly
destitute it the FERA had not
supplied work and relief"
The "ever normal granary" plan
is proposed to offset just such con
'ditions, Secretary Wallace de
clared, by outstanding supplies oil
tat years for use in lean years"

When you stop to think about your

Smoking a cigarette gives a lot of

People have been smoking and en-
joying tobacco in some form or

Of course you want cigarette to

State Credited With Great Re.
Cooperative Powers: Results
May b Surprising

Fargo. N. D., March 5.-(R1Crop
prospects In North Dakota were
frightened some by the precipitation
over the state Monday and Tuesday,
but much more win be needed to in
sure anything like . normal produc-
ton over the western two-thirds Of
the state, n. D. German, county
agent leader ct the North Dakota
Agricultural college, believes.
THAT section Of North Dakota has
practically no subsoil moisture. Much
Of II has had no snow or rain to
amount to anything through the
winter" German said. "of course,
this precipitation Is . good start. will
b . great help for grass, but that
territory has been suffering q really
disastrous drouth and win have to
have . lot more rain throughout the
spring and summer to produce Z grain
crop.
THE state has marvellous recupera.
tive powers and with good rains the
results might b surprising. It de-
ponds entirely on the conditions in
the next four or five months"
Mr.. German says one Of the dis
courasing factors = the poor condi-
tion Of horses, due to lack Of feed.
Probably half tho farmers Of the
state, or more, are dependent en-
tirely on horse power to put In their
crops and many are certain TO find
It difficult to keep horses in condi-
tion through the seeding season.
With heavy rain and snow In the
southern end Of the Red River valley,
the whole valley is now supplied with
sufficient moisture to terminate seed
and start the grain growing. Pros
poets are much brighter for . fair to
good crop in the valley. but it has .
very serious deficiency Of deep sub
soil moisture and also needs good
rains through the spring to bring the
crop along.
