BY WILLFORD 1. KING

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The pres
ent depression is probably the most
severe experienced since the indus
trial revolution. 1t has wrought I'M
told havoc. However, one good thing
has come out of it. It's character
istics have been so we'll defined
that, for the first time, careful
students of economic principles have
been enabled to determine the true
nature of depression.
Five short years ago no economist
in the world had succeeded in ar
irving at an adequate explanation
of the origin of depression. Today,
by contrast, the forces leading to
depression are thoroughly under
stood and the explanation can be
presented in such simple terms that
he who runs NAV read.

We can produce more farm prod
ucts in this country than we can
consume within our own border.
In the past We have been able 10
export the surplus without mucn
difficulty. But the artihclally hign
prices established here have cut
of a larger portion Of our export
market. and other countries have
been quick to claim them for their
own. This is particularly true IN
ehe case Of wheat and cotton
IT may be assumed that many OF
Il the steps taken 10 lift prices
here were prompted only by emer-
gency conditions. and 1t is possible
that when the emergency passes
the industry will be thrown back on
the old basis Of supply and de-
mand. In that event conditions
may become worse than they we're
before. due to the fact that we may
not be able TO win back our export
trade.
Under such circumstances we
may be forced into a managed eco
nomic situation whether We like
IL or not. We may be obliged 10
abandon part of our farm property
permanently, or at least until the
population reaches the point where
It will sustain our productive capac-
itv. This might not be such bad
idea. either. If a plan we're mapped
out in advance so that we may be
a step ahead Of situations when
they arise.

seem as though we have sufficiently

the motive power.
President Roosevelt has asked for
an extension of the NRA. which
indicates that permanent plans for
industry are in the works, even
though rather vague as vet. Under
the circumstances it is hardly con-
ceivable that a permanent farm
program Will not be worked out.
Certainly the more natiOnaliStic we
become the more need for supervi-
sion in both divisions. It is high

industrial situation.

Sees Need for Peace

If the government persists in its
avowed program of maintaining IN
the future stable price level both
individual and corporate failures are
likely to become relatively Few in
number and panics probably will be
eliminated.
If employees organizations and the
American Federation of Labor were
both to cease fighting one another
and if both instead were to eliminate
the existing rigidity of prices and
wage rates and substitute therefor
prices for both commodities and la
Dor low enough to be compatible
with the present limited buying
powers of the consumers, they would
soon have the satisfaction Of seeing
the mills humming, employment

employees and employers breaking all

First to demur at the admission
price was a blond young man.
When told the cost of a ticket he
said, "Oh, really?" and fell back.
The famous author of The
Crock of Gold" recited numerous
"vareses" and offered such
thoughts as these:
Love affairs are strange.
Otherwise they are not any
good"
"To be not jealous, do not fall
in love-"
"SOme of my poetry is dis.

Mr.. Stephens, as usual, wore a
very roomy collar, so long-pointed
as to be a distinguishing feature
of his appearance. AS he recited,
his eyelids fluttered, and at times
he shut his eyes throughout a
poem. At other times he half
crouched, or allowed his body to
weave rhythmically.

To Raising Of Peas

DENVER, Sept. 26 G.N.S0.
The manufacture of steel and the
raising of peas are about as far

ceivably be, yet the Colorado Fuel

concern in the Rocky Mountain
region, is revealed as owner of
lands on which most of Colorado'S
pea crops are raised.

Find Arid Land Plants.

PLANT hunters, those unsung heroes
who scour the far places of the
earth in their search for forms of
plant life usable in the United States
for crossing with certain American
plants to secure better product, are
concentrating on the drought-re-
sistant plants at present.
Scientists of the Department of Ag-
riculture have recently sent back seeds
of 1900 different plants from Turke-
stan which have pronounced drought
resistant characteristics. Other
seeds have arrived from Mongolia
and Manchuria, while still others are
awaited from the Cobb Desert.
China, with her denuded hills alter
mating between flobd and drought, has
been forced, through grim necessity,
to concentrate on those forms of plant
life which can resist drought, and it
is these plants which are being
brought here for experimentation and
development in some of the dry sec
tions of the United States.
