 Almost beyond belief are the con- fuSions which beset the leaders Of both political parties as they renew their efforts to do something about the farm problem.
 The situation would be almost comic if it did not involve so inn portant an industry and the for tunes Of so many millions of people.
 Toward this industry and these people the Federal Government has assumed an obligation which il scarcely dares disayow, and which it does not know with certainty how to fulfill. It has bear by the tail
 The new Administration program is called a soil erosion program. That is, a plan for prevent ng the soil from wasting away Ac ual y, what everybody wants IS exactly opposite. If sufficient number Of acres were to disappear entirely, there would be no farm problem.
 
 MT Hoover, who may almost claim to have originated the word "regimentation,' comes forward with the suggestion that a direct government subsidy be granted to farmers who would then turn to raising what the government thinks they should
 Meantime, after all the Repub- lican assaults on the AAA, it is the Republican leader of the Senate, McNary of Oregon. who hastens to introduce an appropriation bill to pay more money still due under AAA contracts.
 Begetting ConfusionS
 These confusions grow out of other confusions which go a good way back,
 In 1892 one of the great political Parties adopted a platform con demning any policy which would make the government "a speculator in farm products" and also the un- sound policy of restricting agricul- tural production to the demands of the domestic market"
 In the same year the other great Party said in it's platform that the fundamental problem of American agriculture is the control of produc- tion to such volume as will bal ance supply with demand"
 It scarcely would be guessed to- day, but the party making the first of these two declarations was the Democratic party, and the one sub- scribing to the second was the Re- publican party
 After the election the Democratic party leaders proceeded with farm plan which took millions of dollars worth of corn and cotton off the market and gave the govern ment a direct stake in farm prices. It also launched on the most com prehensive program of restricting production yet conceived.
 Whereupon the Republican Par ty leaders objected loudly to the control of production, which their party platform had endorsed, and to government speculation in farm prices, which the Democrats had charged was one of the chief evils of the Hoover farm board.

TINE first fatality Of the fishing
season occurred at Oregon
Inlet last Saturday. j. H.
Powell of Richmond, Va,
drowning when his boat was upset
in the treacherous surf.
The boat is reported to have gone
out when the tide was too low for it
to cross the bar with safety. After
riding one of the big combers, the
boat struck bottom and was over
turned All of the anglers were thrown
into the water and Powell was hit
on the head by the overturned boat
and rendered unconscious. His COM
panions grabbed and held him until
the arrival Of the Coast Guard boat.
All attempts at resuscitation we're
futile. however.
Five other boats are reported to
have been capsized. but, fortunately,
all occupants we're rescued.
This column has been endeavoring
to obtain better protection for anglers
at oregon Inlet and in this connection
Capt. Henry E. Sweet of the Steam
boat and Inspection Service has in
formed us that boat has been dis
patched from Annapolis to Oregon
Inlet as means toward doing every
thing possible to see that anglers are
protected.
4 PARTY of IL anglers, composed Of
Government officials and leading
business men, fishing for blues last
Thursday Friday and Saturday at

to 634 pounds.
While they were good-size fish,
they all we're light for their length,
apparently under-fed and biting
savagely," Larry Moore, one Of the
party, informed US
You certainly hit the nail right on
the head when you said the blues
did not commence to hit until last
Thursday. All the boat captains
there told us Thursday of last week
was the first day they were landed.
This week end they should be there
by the millions, all hungry and at
