Nicolas Encallado.
AS soon as the cheat" was
turned on, Asedillo told his follow
ers that since he was in no position
to face the constabulary in open
battle, he would play hide and
seek, and meanwhile his men
must shift for themselves.
Mountains Hide Fugitives
The bandits are difficult to To-
cate in their mountain strongholds,
but President Quezon, determined
that they be ferretted out. per-
sonally ordered Major Silvino
Gallardo to lead the search.
The way of the bandit in the
Philippines, so far, as an informer
is concerned is similar to that of
the United States bad man. Fidel
Ason, a resident of Sampaloc,
Tayabas, was listed as an inform
er. Several days later his body
was found hanging from a mango
tree.
The bandits of the Philippines
have confined their activities for
the most part to wild mountain
provinces. In the larger centers OF
population, such as Maria, baud

GROWS OYSTERS OFF
NORTH SEA ISLANDS

= ISLAND OF SYLT, Jan. 3d.
Germany is making herself in
dependent of foreign oysters.
The North Tristan islands of
Sylt, Foehr and Amrum have
been selected as breeding parks
for bivalves introduced from Hol-
land. Seed oysters from Canada
did not stand the ocean crossing.
First attempts to lay down ar
tificial oyster beds on the Schles-
wig-Holstein coast failed through
the silting-up of the banks. Then
a local branch of the Heligoland
Biological Institute took the mat
ter in hand, with better results.
Oysters from the new beds are
said to recall the flavor of their
Dutch ancestry.

Paradoxes Now Face Leaders
OF Major Political Parties
In Solving Farm Problems
Various Issues Become In
volved In Outstanding
Matter Confronting Diff
ferent Factions
By BYRON PRICE

GChIef OF bureau. The Associated
Press Washington
Almost beyond belief are the
eonfusions which beset the lead
ers of both political parties as
they renew their efforts to do
something about the farm prob
lem.
The situation would be almost
comic If il did not involve so i'm
portant an industry and the for
tunes of so many millions of peo-
pie.
Toward this industry and these
people the federal government
has assumed an obligation which
it scarcely dares disavow, and
which it does not know with GER
tainty how to fulfill. II has a
bear by the tail
The Rew administration pro-
gram is called a ''sOil erosion"
program. That is, a plan for
preventing the soil from wasting
away. Actually, what everybody
wants is exactly opposite If a
sufficient number acres were
to disappear ertile there would
be no farm pI 0oiem.
Mr.. Hoover, who may almost
claim to have originated the word
RECOMMENDATION" 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 sem
ate, McNary of Oregon, who has
tens to introduce an appropriation
bin 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 1882 one of the great poll
Itical parties adopted q platform
condeRning any policy which
would make the government "a
Ispeeulator in farm products, and
also t'the unsOund policy of re-
stricting agricultural production
to the demands of the domestic
market"
In the same year the other
great party said in its platform
that ''the fundamental problem Of
American agriculture is the con-
troll of production to such Q
volume as viii balance 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 subscribing to the second
was the Republican party.
After the election the Demo-
cratic party leaders proceeded
with a farm plan which took MD
lions of dollars worth of corn and
cotton off the market and gave
the government q direct stake IN
farm prices II also launched on
the most comprehensive program
Of restricting production yet con-
ceived.
Whereupon. the Republican
party leaders objected loudly to
the control Of production. which
their party platform had en-
dorsed, and to government spec
ulation in farm prices. which the
Democrats had charged was one
Of the chief evils Of the Hoover
farm board.
