out on the contour which means
they are level. These dikeS ara Is
inches high in most cases snd are
laid out on every 9 inches drop.

HOOVER. SHOOK
With FEAR OF
REVOLT IN 1892
SENATOR SPILL BEANS
ABOUT HOW PUDGY
PRESIDENT FELT
THEN

Herbert Hoover feared revo,u-
tion in 1892, it has been revealed
" Senator Byrnes OF the Senate
Appropriations Committee, which
received from Hoover "secret in
formation" about the desperation
Of the unemployed.
When Hoover made the claim in
speech at Philadelphia recently
that the depression was over in
1882, Byrnes decided that the
time had come to- tell the truth
about what Hoover thought then
He said:
"In June, 1882, President Hoo
vcr recommended that the Con-
gress reduce the compensation Of
Government employees by grant
ing furloughs without pay.
'The Senate Appropriations
Committee disagreed with this re-
commentator and proposed to re-
duce by 1870 the compensation Cf
every person in the service Of the
Government.
Senator Bingham of Connecti-
cut came to the committee, stating
that President Hoover requested
that an exemption be made in the
case of enlisted men in the army,
navy and marine corps, because
there was such unrest in the coun-
try. He feared disorder and did
not want to be forced to rely ca
an army and navy whose enlisted
personnel were diSgruntled be
cause of decreased compensation
His resuest was granted and the
bill reported with the exemption
"The Congressional Record will
show that in explaining the bill in
the Senate, in response tc an IN
quiry, 1 stated that the exemption
was granted at the request of tce
President, who gave reasons fol-
the request that were approved by
the committee. His message to the
committee was not stated fer The
obvious reason that it would have
alarmed the people"

fer again with Rexford G. Tugwell,
resettlement administrator. and Au-
brey Williams, assistant w. P. A. ad-
ministrator, on new relief measures.
w. F. Callander. assistant A. A. A.
administrator and former chairman
of the Crop Reporting Board, said to-
days analysis was the most important
since the drought period of 1884.
The report includes expert analysis
of production estimates for wheat,
corn, small feed grains, forage, fruits,
potatoes, beans and other vegetables.
Corn Key to Feed Supplies.
It carries the first estimate on corn,
the acrage for harvest. indicated yield
per acre and stocks on farms as of
July l.
I'm a large measure" said CAL
lander, "the corn crop is key to live
stock feed supplies and to probable
meat prices, determining whether
farmers will be forced to heavy mar
keting of hogs and cattle"
The March l summary of intentions
to plant corn indicated a seeded acre
age of 98, IT'S, 900 acres, compared with
an acreage of 92,727, 900 last year and
an average harvested acreage of 102,-
768, 900 for the l928-1932 period.
The June / Winter wheat forecast
showed 482 100000 bushels expected
for harvest, compared with actual
harvest of 433,o00,000 bushels last
year.
Resettlement officials estimated
rs 900 to 10000 families in the Da-
kotas, Montana and wyoming which
are able to show lack of cash income
to meet their obligations would take
advantage of the rehabilitation loans
moratorium. Approximately $1,000, 900
is outstanding in rehabilitation loans
in those States.
Williams said the 10000 Southern
farmers to be employed on w. P. A.
projects resided in the drought areas
of the Carolinas, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Virginia. Georgia and Ala
bama. They will bring the total to
be given w. P. A. jobs in the Midwest
and South to approximately $4,000, as
announced by the President.
Officials said no fixed employment
quotas had been contemplated and
that schedules would be revised to
provide drought relief jobs when and
where needed. In that connection It
was announced that Gov. Berry OF
South Dakota would arrive in WASH
ington Saturday to confer with
drought officials.
The Montana cattle rates were es-
tablished in an Interstate Commerce
Commission order authorizing the
Great Northern Railway to establish
rates identical with those granted
other railroads in the drought Sec
tions-S5 per cent Of the regular
charges for cattle shipped to better
