Wheat Supply Adequate,
Saws Federal Report

| THERE is enough wheat in the
L United States for the usual do
nestle requirements of the season
of 1867, according to the mid
summer report of the bureau of ag-
ricultural economics, but the supply
of red spring wheat and durum is
short and consequently importation
of those varieties will be continued.
The amount, however, will not be
large, Secretary Wallace stated.
"It is probable the spring wheat
mills in the 1936-'37 season will use
a larger percentage of hard red
winter and Pacific northwest wheat
than last year." said the report. ga
larger than usual quantity of soft
red winter wheat is also likely to
be used in bread flour. AS a re-
suit, imports of milling wheat may
be less than in 1885,"
Wheat prices in the United States
may be expected to average about
as high relative to world price lev
els as during the 1885 season,
when the price of No. hard winter
at Kansas City was Is cents over
Liverpool, the bureau said. During
the last three years short crops to-
gether with other influences result
ed in wheat prices in the United
States being maintained unusually
high relative to the world market
price.
Farm prices probably have been
20 cents to 80 cents higher than
might have been expected with
more nearly normal yields in the
United States" the report contin-
ued. "a return of average or great
er than average yields in the United
States would result in an export sur
plus and prices would adjust to-
ward an export basis.
The acreage seeded for the 1896
crop, 74,000,000 acres, was the Sec
ond largest in history, and seedlings
as large for the 1887 crop would
produce fully enough wheat for to-
tai domestic utilization even if
yields should turn out to be one
fourth below average"

Migration From Drouth
States Is Urged

SCdteS Is OISSu
DR. C. w. THORNTHWAITE, for
~ mer climatologist of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, has made a
study of the drouth area of the
Great Plains, and his interesting
conclusions are published by the
University of Pennsylvania. Brief
ly, Thornthwaite recommends that
$4,000 migrate from the farms of
the damaged region. He contends
that wind erosion has damaged 65
per cent of the plains region, ex-
tending from the Canadian border
into the Texas panhandle. A long
range government program for the
return of millions of acres of wheat
land to its native sod, he says,
might be the only means of check
ing the devastating dust storms.
Observing that long dry spells
have been frequent in the history
of the plains, Thornthwaite predicts
that "the present drouth might be
prolonged for 20 or more years.
The weather expert estimates
that minimum of 1850 families
should move out of Montana, the
state in which he reports the
greatest surplus population" He
urges a migration of 1920 fami-
lies from Texas and 1850 from
North Dakota. Heavy removals al
so are suggested for South Dakota.

AAA May Abandon Control
of Grain Crops

OF Graln drops
OFFICIALS of the agricultural
" adjustment administration dis
cussed in Washington the advisa-
bility of drastically reducing or re-
moving altogether the planting re-
strictions on corn and wheat next
year. No decision was made and
farmers will be consulted before
any changes are ordered. 1t was,
however, definitely stated that
wheat acreage will be expanded.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
passing through Chicago on his way
back from Iowa, said he believed
government-contro crop insur-
ance would prevent wild price fiuc-
tuations in farm produce. The plan,
he said, has not progressed be-
yond the embryo stage, but probab-
ly would entail storage of crops in
government granaries. Each farm
er, depending on the percentage of
his normal crop he wished to in
sure, would make his insurance"
payments in the form of bushels to
be stored in common pool.
The plan, preventing "lean years
and fat years." would tend to stabi-
lie market prices because it would
assure a continual adequate sup
ply of whatever commodity was to
be insured. Gradually, he said, it
might be worked out to include all
major farm produce.

Spa Veterans Tell

ALES that are told whel gray
L haired men gather on the We
randas while the stars stand their
watch at Saratoga.
There are the whispers about the
fortune Arnold Rothstein, the sure
thing gambler, may have hidden
some place before he suddenly de-
parted from this earth. Most of
the veterans here knew him-some
of them only too well and too sad
ly-and they doubt whether his es-
tate could possibly have been as
small as the records show.
1t is not that they suspect any
living person but they knew Arnold
as he was, close-mouthed fellow
who early learned that you seldom
can go broke when you have aces
wired. So they sit and wonder
where those aces-the reserve fund,
the stake for another day-can be.
Some of them will whisper that
there must be close to $4,000
worth of cash or easily negotiable
securities awaiting in some safe de-
post vault for an owner who never
will return. They-those veterans
who knew Arnold so well and some
times so sadly-say that would have

1t is an open secret around the
welfare board that the present
campaign against so-called "chis-

smoke screen behind which the
Citizens Alliance and other reac-
tionary cliques are attempting TO
further their offensive against the
working class. The true purpose
of the anti-chiseling campaign Is
to terrorize relief workers and to
cut off as many as possible from
direct relief thus forcing them into
private industry at starvation
wages. This in turn will have the
effect of pushing down wages gen
orally. The situation here is an
example of the conditions which
will result if the Republicans sue
coed in winning the election and
carry out their policy of eliminat-
ing work relief and placing the
entire burden of relief upon To-
calities and states. However, the
Democrats, should they win the
election, will not be one whit bet
ter because they are like the Re.

But for the present they have

BLACK LEGION
SOURCES EXPOSED

DETROIT, June 1S.-Evidence
brought out during the past few
days indicates clearly that the
Black Legion has both domestic
and foreign sources, and that it
was rapidly building strength for
a coup to establish a Fascist die
tatorship."
Prosecutor Duncan c. McCrea,
himself one of the signers of an
application card for membership in
the Black Legion) declared that in
three or four years it would have
been able to dictate to local gov
ernments thruout the United
States. The present estimated
strength of the Black Legion in
Michigan is about 10000, but the
greatest danger of such an organ
lzation, in the view of Will Liss-
ner, correspondent of The New
York Times, is the possibility of
unification with other fascist or
near fascist groups.
Mr.. Lissner declares that the
Pontiac regiment" of the Black
Legion had in fact received word
from William Dudley Policy of
Asheville, N. c., that his silver
Range Legion was ready to join
forces with it. The process of
capturing the Republican party of
Michigan was already under way
when the Legion made the mistake
of numbering Charles A. Poole, a
WPA worker who knew too much
thereby drawing the attention of
the country to its existence and its
activities.
