PROFITS DUE
FOR SOME
FARMERS
Increasing Prices Of
Grain to Send Up
Living Costs
BY L. w. MEREDITH
International News Service

Losses to farmers in the drought
areas, mounting at a rate Of more
than IS MILAN dollars day, have
more than passed the 1000 mil
lion mark, agricultural observers
estimated today.
And yet, while the drought suf'
ferers stood huge losses, farmers
in more fortunate areas were prof
iting to the extent Of upwards Of
three quarters of that amount, or
more.
Bounding prices for grain, par
ticularly corn and wheat, predi-
eating increases in living costs
opened the way for profits for
tens of thousands OF farmers
whose sections escaped the
drought.
Critical Period Near
While Department Of AgricuE
ture economists declined to offer
any estimate Of losses In the
drought districts, they pointed to
the price cycles as the best lnd1ca-
ton of the staggering losseS-and
the equally unexpected increases
in profits.
For instance, the intention to
plant corn this year was for SS''
775,0O0 acres. At an average pro-
duction of "a bushels to the acre,
this would mean q corn crop OF
2,73O, 500, 900 bushels-an increase
of 70 million bushels over last
years crop, but 180 million bushels
under the 1929-32 average.
The next few days will tell the
tale of this years corn crop, for
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
said wednesday that unless
good, heavy rains" fall in the
com belt within the next 10 rays,
it would mean a difference OF
$50 million to 900 million bush
els.
Corn CrOp WauAB
Even with good rains, he estl'
mated the crop would not run
more than 100 million bushels
and since Wednesday, there have
been no such rains in the corn
belt where rain is most needed.
Chicago market reporters figure
the corn crop is losing 25 million
bushels day.
The average, price Of corn In
March, just before the planting
season, was 56.4 cents a bushel.
A Government observer said:
''What the price would have
been with a normal crop and
normal conditions is prOblemat-
ical. But with the drought,
the cash price at closing last
week was S1.O6, an increase of
so cents a buShel over March"
Figured at the March price OF
56 cents a bushel, when the pros
poets were for a 1870, ,600-buShel
crop, the loss of 670 million bush
els would mean a loss directly
traceable to the drought of
$375,536,00 on corn alone. And
if, as Wallace said, rain does not
fall soon in the corn belt, a fur
ther "terrific swing" to a loss of
$50 million to 600 million more
bushels means that much greater
loss to farmers in drought areas.

Geved Mrs. Taylor ended her life with

DYE-SALLEY NUPTIALS
OF WIDE INTEREST

Characterized by dignity and
perfect simplicity, due to recent
bereavements in the family, WIS
the marriage on Saturday after
noon, September the fifth, of Miss
Mary Evelyn Dye, who became
the bride of Mr.. Edward Nc
Queen Salley, of Asheville, at
the First Methodist Episcopal
church at five o'clock. The Rev.
w. A. Newell, of Salisbury, a
close friend of the family, and
DR.. E. K. McLarty, the pastor,
heard the sacred vows, the i'm
presSive ring ceremony being US
ed. Only the immediate and few
very close friends were present
and there were no attendants.
The beauty of the church was
enhanced by artistically using
floor baskets of white hydrangea
thanking either side of the pulpit.
The central one held an arrange
ment of regal white lilies. Baskets
of the same beautiful flowers
were used on the railing of the
choir loft where Miss Kate Dotson
presided at the organ for a few
selections prior to the ceremony
during which she rendered softly
To a Wild Rose by Mcdowell,
Lohengrin's Bridal Chorus and

were used as the professional and

The bride, a beautiful brunette
of rare charm of manner, is the
daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
James R. Dye, of Chester, S. c.,
whose winter home was in Or
landO, Fla, where Miss Dye has
held a position in the city schools
since her graduation from the
University of South Carolina, in
Columbia. The marriage, which
unites young people of two South
Carolina prominent families is
of distinctive social interest.
Miss Dye was lovely in a crepe
of deep brown fiecked with gold,
a modish touch being added by
the gold clip at the throat; it was
fashioned in the smartly new
tunic effect. Her chic chapeau had
the band of gold about the arna-
ment of self material; her other
accessories were in a matching
shade. An exquisite corsage of
bronze orchids completed the en-
Semble. Her only ornament was a
diamond pendant belonging to her
mother.
The bridegroom, son of DR.. and
Mrs. E. NJ. Salley, the former one
of Hendersonville's leading physl-
clans, was originally from Orange
burg, S. c., but the family resided
in Saluda before coming here. He

The President emphasized a
theme that appeared frequently
in his talks in the drought area
that the Government is spending
today to save greater expenses in
the future.
The Governments decision to
put the drought needy to work at
subsistence wages not only helps
them live through the winter but
enables them to buy food for
their stock and seed for next
years paintings. Meantime their
work in building thousands of
small ponds and reservoirs, drill

The President said his drought
of "every governor with whom |
talked" During his trip Mr.. Roos-
evelt conferred with seven drought
state governors, including Gov.
Alfred NJ. Landon of Kansas, Re-
publican presidential nominee.
All the governors likewise
agreed, he said, that their indivi-
dual states will take care of their
unemployables but that the cost
of making jobs for those able and
willing to work must be borne by
the Federal Government.
"The farmers of America" he
said in summary of his remarks
on their agricultural problem as
reflected in the drought states,
"want a sound national agricul-
tural policy in which permanent
land use program will have an
important place.
"They want assurance against
another year like 1882 when they
made good crops but had to sell
them for prices that meant ruin
just as surely as did the drought.
Sound policy must maintain farm
prices in good crop years as well
as in bad crop years. 1T must
function when we have drought;
it must also function when we
have bumper crops.
"The maintenance of a fair
equilibrium between farm prices
of industrial products is an aim
which we must keep ever before
us Just as we must give constant
thought to the sufficiency Of the
food supply of the Notion even in
bad years. Our modern civilization
can and should devise a more
successful means by which the
excess supplies of bumper years
can be conserved for use in lean
years." -,
Reminding his listeners that
constant employment at fair 'Vag-
es is just as important to the peo-
pie in the towns and cities as good
farm income is TO agriculture,
the President TUNED to discuss
ion of the job situation.
Unemployment in private IN
dustry is proceeding rapidly he
announced.
Government spending was in
large part responsible FOR keeping
industry going and putting it in a
position to make this re-employ-
ment possible" he asserted.
He appealed for wider use OF
the state-federal employment ser
vice, but added that there will be
