HIGHER MEAT COST
POLICY CONTINUES
Scarcity GroWs,WhiIe A.A.A.
Signs Million Farmers
for Hog Benefits.

The housewives bill for pork and
beef today was still mounting as the
Bureau OF Agricultural Economics re-
ported hogs and well-finished beef
cattle are becoming daily more scarce.
At the same time the A A A. an
nounced l ,o00, 900 farmers have agreed
to continued artificial limitation of
the hog output by signing applica-
tions for 1885 corn-hog contracts.
Claude r. Wickard, chief of the A. A.
A. corn-hog section, declared:
1T is essential that we avoid a
return to the excess production Of
corn and hogs which would result
from a ciscontinuance of adjust
ment"
The number Of signers shows
slight decrease from last year, with
small operators dropping out of the
program.
Farm Income Increasing.
Meanwhile the Department of Agri-
culture disclosed the farmers income
Is steadily increasing, due chiefly to
the A. A. A. benefit payments.
The total cash income from mar
ket products and benefits in Febru-
ary was s431 100000 compared with
S4l2 100000 the same month year
ago.
But only $37s, 900 900 of this Febru-
ary's total came from marketings,
drop from the 1894 ,000, 900 of Febru-
airy, 1884. The rest came from bene-
fits.
'Marketings of many important
crops in February we're the smallest
for that month in Is years" the de-
partment commented. There was an
unusually large advance in prices Of
truck crops; prices of meat animals.
dairy products, poultry and eggs also
increased.
The sharp advance in retail meat
prices in recent months is attributed
by the Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics to greatly reduced slaughter
supplies of hogs and of well-finished
beef cattle.
Further Dwindling Seen.
"Pork supplies are expected to con-
tinue far below average the remain
der of this year; supplies of the better
grades Of cattle are expected to con-
tinue small for several months"
Buy lamb, the department advises.
Lamb supplies have been reduced
relatively little. The early Spring
lamb crop now moving to market IS
estimated to be only slightly smaller
than that Of last year"
Credit-harren farmers today re-
ceived the first of 100000, 900 worth
Of checks from the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration in the 1885 emergency
crop-loan program. The maximum
to any one farmer is $500, with which
to buy seed, fertilizer, supplies, food,
following and live stock feed.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Directors Of

put a check to the attempted finan-

definitely postponing action on his pc

The best disinterested authorities
here believe Government ownership Is
an ultimate necessity, but that it Is
not yet near enough to warrant the
current dependency Of the rail chiefs.
The reason Huey Long fought
against the relief bill so hard is that
he knows the New Dealers will admin
Ister 1t In Louisiana so as to hurt him
and help themselves. He is not far
wrong about that.
Don't look surprised il q Federal
photostdting truck drives up to
your place OF business soon. The
Government has been spending 80
much time and money looking over
ledger sheets. pay rolls, etc., in its
Ddrtous priUnte inquiries that 1t Is
planning to buy a photostating
truck. This iDould do aUay ,Dith the
field state OF investigators. More
than 100 field investigators are noD
employed in one bureau.
A few weeks ago, Mr.. Roosevelt
adopted a habit Of going over his
guest list each morning to decide
which callers he wanted to see, and
for how long. His secretaries take the
blame with dissatisfied callers, and
thus have aroused q lot of people
against themselves, as oil good secre-
taries should.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
More Men at Work and
More on Relief-Con.
gress Won't Hurry.
BY PAUL MALLON.

OMETHING is wrong about this
relief business. 1t was started
in order to care for the un-
~ employed, but the connection
is becoming increasingly OBJ
scure. The more men go back to work
the more there are on relief.
That paradoxical tendency was
noSed in some degree several months
ago, but recently the disparity has
gone beyond the bounds Of casual ex-
plantations. For instance, last De-
cember unemployment increased about
100000, while relief rolls jumped
100000 disparity 100000. In jan
uary unemployment decreased by
$50 900, but relief rolls increased by
500, 900 disparity 850,000).
These diSparities were not wide, but
unofficial figures for February show
that, while unemployment decreased
further by 250,000, relief rolls jumped
2,000,000 and hit the all-time high OF
22,5O0,0 disparity 2,250,000).
The private estimates for March
have not lessened the apprehensions Of
those in charge Of this situation.

PLAIN WORDS

In plain words J. B. Kncer, of the u S. Weather
Bureau blames the farmers of America for the drouth
OF 1884 He points finger of shame at them and de-
cares that denudng the land of trees brought about the
disastrous dry SPELL
1t is safe to say there many residents who
are ready to disagree with him. and yet his explanation
sounds logical He says left job haf-inshed and
the drouth was the result The first part of the rainma
ing operation is to supply the air with moisture This was
well done but nature failed to set in motion parts of
her machine which would make the moisture rail- in the
form OF rain During July, when many sections of the
country We're burning from lack of rainfall no cold air
moved down from the north, the moisture remained in
the Skies Had there been anything like the amount of
woodland there used to be- Kncer asserts this air would
have flowed in sufficient quantity to bring all the rain
needed, and there would have been no drouth.
Forestry experts back him up in his assertions. They
60 farther and point out that unless rural residents of
America begin the work of reforesaion once planting
tree every time they cut the coming generation going
20 perish through drouths severe than that
experienced last year. It would seem that this warning is
too important to go UNDECIDED.

which must be approved by the Gov
ernor and recorded in the Office of the
Clerk of the Court of Appeals.
Since the Amendment of the Con-
stitution and the various laws, where
by it is now possible to have all funds
of the State under direct control of
the Comptroller and Treasurer, and
the enforcement of the law requiring
security for State Deposits, it would
appear that there can be but little
risk to the State through failure of
banks in which the State may deposit
its funds. Certainly, if the law re-
specting security of deposits is rigid
ly enforced, the risk should be re-
duced to a minimum.
There has been some criticism of
the actions Of the State Treasurer in
depositing an unusually large amount
of the States money in certain banks
and trust companies, with which the
Treasurer or other State officials are
connected as officers or directors. It
would seem the better practice to
equitably distribute the funds among
the various banks and trust companies
of the State that are financially sound
and comply with the law relative to
giving security for the deposits.

mate indicating slight further reduction in numbers
wayne nsmore secretary of the Horse and Mule Assoca
ton Of America, says:
While the decrease farms since January l. 1920
mas been less than 100000 there has been decrease of
more chan 100000 horses and mules used in nonagrcu
tural work The total decrease horses and mules from
the peak in 1920 has therefore been than 100000

head produce and maintain horses and mules the
decrease OF more than 100000 over 4OOOOOOO
acres, which formerly produced or maintained animal
power, is producing surplus food products or surplus
raw materials for clothing"
The ~ per cent increase in horse colts foaled in 1884
over 1888 indication that farmers are awake to the
situation Still colts will be foaled in 1885, but at
least three will elpse before the birth rate
Will equal the death rate and increase in total horses
and mules begin Prices both horses and mules there
fore may be expected to advance gradually until 1870"
The last sentence is the part that will be of special
interest to those who have horses suitable for breeding

Farm Organizations
Plead For Unified
Revenue Program

With a myriad of divergent pro-
posals for meeting the States rev.
enue needs clogging the Legislative
machinery at Annapolis, the farm
organizations in Maryland, led by the
Farm Bureau, are pleading for a
unified program through which per-
manent and modern revenue measures
might be enacted. Citing too that
the time is short, the farm organi-
zation hold that there is a very def
mite need for crystalizing public opin-
ion Immediately towards this end
and that unless an agreement for
such a program can be reached, that
real estate will again have to bear
the brunt of the impending deficit.
Spokesman for the organizations
feel that there are ample sources of
revenue in Maryland which the
State should avail itself of through
the adoption of modern income tax
and inheritance tax legislation and
through which the IN cent gas tax
to the counties and the equalization
fund could be restored in full. The
farm organizations also hold that
the costs, particularly for employ
ment relief, could be substantially
reduced II larger share Of the re-
sponsibility for its administration
were made to rest or local authori-
tie.
