POTATO CONSUMERS
WOULD Be HELPED
BY A A A PROGRAM
Small Crop-High Consumer Price
Low Farm Returns - Fore
cast for 1886.

Without any I adjustment pro
gram in effect, 1896 would probah
ly see the smallest potato crop in
ten years, with resulting high
prices to consumers, without any
large returns to most growers in
the opinion of r. IN. N. Miller, ex-
tenslon economist, State College
OF Washington.
Mr., Miller bases his observe
tons on the size of the 1885 crop
in relation to that of other years
as shown by u. S. Department of
Agriculture records. 1.-The low
prices received for 1884 and 1895
crops would ordinarily cause grow
ers to decrease their plantigs and
potato crop almost as small as
that of 1925 is inprospect," he
says. Under such conditions, con
sumers would find potatoes verv
high next year; and the farmers
with lowered production might
not receive any greater returns on
the WHOLE.
Government records show that
consumers have paid 20 cents more
bushel for potatoes in years of
high or flow production than in
seasons of normal pototo crops.
The AAA adjustment plan, which
is scheduled to go into effect with
the harvest of the 1886 crop is in
tended to see that normal crops
are produced,
The average per capita ,use of
potatoes is about 1928 pounds
year.. In the state of Washington
rs per cent of the crop harvested
is sold. The average for the nation
is SO per cent. These figures are
based on the crops of 1929-19S4.
research by the U SIDE
partment of Agriculture indicates
that 350,000,000 bushels of pota-
toes is adequate to meet the need
of the country. The October figures
of the crop reporting beard indi-
Gated 1895 crop of 366 100000
bushels, which annually will be
what less because Of late fall free
yes in many states.

worker, a great umpire and a great guy, came out with a slightly ruff fled suit, shoes unshined and a dirty collar.
 I'm not taking any bows for be- ing a Prince Albert but it wasn't long before the crowd noted the contrast and began yelling uncom- plimentary things like Who's your ragged friend, George?' Soon they were riding his decisions.
 Fast on the Feet
 Of course, you're going to make wrong decisions Barr confesses. Even the best do it. But there's nothing to do but bear down on the next one and don't let the razzing get you. Don't try to even it up by calling the next close one for the other side"
 "A good umpire has got to move on every pitch" says he, demon strating with a leap into the air to catch" the high pitch, dive to look at the low one and various contortions to bring the inside and outside pitches into focus.
 One of the greatest commenda- tions Barr ever received resulted from a sprint from home plate. through the pitchers box to second base to make the decision on a player who was trying to stretch a drive over the infield into a double. You've got to be fast on your feet to do that, and Barr arrived to make the hair-line decision.

SPORT SLANTS

The value of cross-country run ming as a builder, developer and conditioner of foot-racing talent en- jcyed a great boost when Gene Venzke came out and attributed his sensational success on the boards this year to the hill-and- dale work he did last fall. Plenty of track coaches have long preach ed the same theory. And among the most successful of that group is Peter L. Waters of Manhattan College.
 Coach Waters brought Manhattan along to the point where the Jas pers are a power in the track and field world His building has been on one solid, firm foundation cross country running.
 Park Workouts Pay
 Sprinters and middle distance runners, as well as the distance men under Waters guidance lay the foundation for their competitive campaigns by working out over the hills of New York's Van Cort- landt Park. They are not all cross country runners in the sense that they compete in the hill-and- dale races-the distance runners take care of that-but every man on the squad exercises over the hills and fills his lungs with the fresh, crisp fall air.

Stern, Silent Men, Neatly Dressed, Best Decision
 Announcers
By R. HENDR1x CHANDLER

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March II If you can take it without dish -ng it out, if it doesn't disturb you c work without friends and if you think silence is the highest reward scr achievement, then, my boy, you might become an umpire.
 So says Professor George Barr, National League arbiter, as he ex- pounds the art of calling 'em out and making 'em like it to 40 stu dents enrolled here in his school of umpiring.
 To be a success, the sorrel-topped professor explains, you can't let 'em get your goat no matter what names they call you. The only thing to do is act as if the names were meant for the guy in the back row of the bleachers-and go right on calling 'em."
 Retain Your Dignity
 "If you talk back to players or fans, you lcse dignity and even tually they'll take you for real ride. Don't kid with the players because when you do have to call someone down he'll think you're still kidding.
 Don't let yourself be seen talk ing with players before or after games, because someone's sure to get the impression you're going to be partial to that particular play CT"
 Bars pupils officiate at league games between students attending the all-star baseball school here which is taught by such celebrities as Schoolboy Rowe, Rogers Horns by and Iris Speaker.
 First impressions mean a lot in umpiring, too, and there's no better way to start game than good, thorough, business-like dusting of the plate with the whisk- broom. which is the symbol of an umpire's authority. The dusting business gives the impression that you're in charge of the game"
 And always look neat. Start the game with a freshly pressed suit, shined shoes and clean collar though you know they'll be covered with dust minute after play is called.
 My friends used to razz me for dressing up for the game,' Barr says, but one incident in my minor league experience convinced me.
 T had taken unusual care to look my neatest but my fellow

INDIANS ARE LOOKING GOOD,
 SAYS MANAGER
Seattle Tribe Expected to Be Doing Things
 This Year

SANTA MONICA, Cal, March II Waiter Dutch) Reuther, Manager of the Seattle Indians, looking over his squad said:
 Pitching 50 per cent stronger than last year.
 "Chet Smith feeling fine and looking good, after his automobile accident and operation during the off season.
 Dick Gyselman a little heavier
 that lad is going to the majors again, pronto!
 Hal Spindel finally came down to earth and signed. =.
 Guess the Indians are going some place this year in the Pa cific Coast Baseball League race"
 The brightest thing about the Indian squad is the showing of the questionables. Smith shows nary a sign of his hard winter, though Ruether has ordered him to take ii easy, and is bringing him along by easy stages. a
 Johnny Bassler, veteran catcher who was ill last year, never looked better in his life. I'm confident that if his health remains as good as it is now, he'll be big help to us,' said the Tribe chieftain.
 And Glenn Wright, the infielder with the bad arm, is tossing 'em about like rookie.
 The Tribe is completely satisfied with it's training and hotel quarters at Santa Monica, the weather has been warm since the first couple of days in camp. and everything is rolling along nicely. iv
 spindel, who looked like a great young catcher last year, signed his contract and reported. He had been q holdout. Now the only player not either in camp or on his way is Pitcher Pete Daglia, who wants a better contract than the one of- fered him.
