TREASURY WILL AID
RESETTLEMENT UNIT
To Supervise Accounting in Ex.
penditure of Work Relief
Funds.

Resettlement Administration ac-
counting has been placed under super
vision OF the Treasury Department, it
was learned today. 1t is the last Of
the agencies created to spend the
$4,000, 600, 900 work relief money or.
dered into Treasury jurisdiction.
The primary reason for the. move
was to effect a segregation on the
books Of repayments of money due
r. A. and money due State rural re-
habilitation corporations, which pre-
ceded Resettlement in making loans
to farmers.
AS a result of r. AS Jumping to-
gether the money in one special de-
posit fund and of combining commit
ments on the books, it was said that
no accurate figures were available on
the status of rural rehabilitation loans
taken over by r. A. from the States OF
Federal rehabilitation loans made to
farmers who already had received
State loans.
Treasury officials estimate that
81 900, 900 a year in administrative ex.
penses will be saved through its seq
regating the accounts. Under presl-
Dental executive order of May. 1885,
all agencies spending the $4,000 0o0, 600
fund were to be brought under the
Treasury.

$500, ,000,0 900 Increase in
Cash Income From Farms
Yield Predicted.
b the Associated Press.

6t luc hSSOCidtcu E4Cess
Because Of big rains, the consumer
today faced the pleasant prospect of
lower food costs during the coming
Winter and Spring than he had been
led to believe would prevail. This
improved outlook followed 2 per
cent upturn of crop estimates made
public by the Federal Crop Reporting
Board of the Department Of Agri-
culture.
The Agriculture Department also
predicted that cash income from this
years farm yield would be $500, ,o00,-
900 above last year.
The estimated yield Of this years
corn crop. the prime indicator Of the
Nations food supply, was increased by
81 ,000, 900 over the forecast Of Sep
tember /. The indicated crop October
/ was 1,509, 1862, 900 bushels. higher
than that Of the 1894 drought year.
The new figure robs the 1886 corn
crop Of its former status as the low
est on record since 1881.
Corn crops exceeding five-year av-
erage production were forecast for
nine Southern States. The condition
on October and the indicated con-
dition of the corn crop for States near
here were given as:
Virginia, condition II per cent of
normal, and indicated production
30,659, 900: West Virginia, 81 and
Il, ,627 900; North Carolina, 81 and
44,s1s,000. =. ..
Another big gain for September
was 100000 bushel increase in
the forecast for Irish potatoes, an
important food item. However, the
indicated crop of 322,263,00o bushels
was about 5o,000,o00 bushels below
the five-year average of 372.115,000.
Pasture condition-important to
millions of head of live stock for
food-was said to have made one OF
the most remarkable recoveries on
record In any one month" as rains re-
freshed scared acres.
Other gains were reported for oats,
rice, tobacco, grain sorghums and
buckwheat.
Maryland tobacco prospects were
said to have continued to show i'm
provement during September and in
dications were for . production OF
q, ,900, 900 pounds, compared with 49,
$40, 900 harvested in 1885.
Total wheat production this year
was revised downward to 627, ,233, 900
bushels, compared with $50, 0,241, 900 .
month earlier. The 1895 wheat yield
was 623, ,444.000, while the five-year
average was S63,564,000 bushels.
Other crops in which estimated yield
this year was reduced included bar
ley. haxseed. apples and sweet po.
tatoes.
The crop reporters estimated the
commercial crop of apples sold for
fresh consumption, at 65,506,000
bushels, compared with 66,274,000
bushels, the record low production
of 1921.
Commercial crop prospects have
declined since September in such
important States as Maryland, vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Illinois,
Idaho and Washington, but improved
conditions are noted in Massachusetts,.
New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Michigan,
Oregon and California" the depart
ment said.

POe's ''Tan,erlane''
Booklet Is Likely
To Bring $4,000
Volume among Scarcest
in Anaericaf, Literary
History.
BY the Associated Press.

BY Cne Associated PfeSSs
NEW YORK, March 7.-When you
do your Spring house cleaning this
year, keep your weather eye open for
a little booklet of 40 pages, called
'Tamerlane and Other Poems, by a
Bostonian"
The chances are astronomical that
you won't find a copy. but if you do
you automatically will enter that class
known as well fixed"
You surely could get $4,000 for the
booklet, and maybe much more, de-
pending on condition.
"Tamerlane." which happens to
have been published anonymously in
Boston in 1927 by youth named
Edgar Allen Poe, is the most valuable,
the most interesting photographic
ally and one of the scarcest books in
the whole history of American letters.
There is no other American pub
lication to dispute its primacy.
Eight, or possibly nine, copies are
known to exist.
The first one, found in 1860, was
sold to the British Museum for one
shilling. Another was sold at auction
in 1919 for $11.60O, by 1925 collector
paid $4,000 for copy and in the
boom days OF 1929 the price zoomed
to more than $4,000.
THAT other copies exist some
where seems more than likely, but no
one knows where"
