try was expanding and growing. We
borrowed money and bought goods
from foreign nations to furnish the
capitol and the equipment to expand
our frontiers. Our demand was great
enough to bring in foreign goods
even over our tariff walls. We were
buying and borrowing from foreign
nations and therefore since we owed
debts to foreign countries they took
our agricultural products to pay
those debts and we had foreign mar
kets for the farmer.
During the World war those mark
cts expanded abnormally due to the
fact that the warning nations of Eur
ope did little farming.
When the war ended we no longer
owed debts to European nations. They
owed u.s. From 1920 on, we continu-
ally raised industrial tariffs. They
could not sell industrial products to
us over our tariff walls. Consequent
ly, they could not buy our farm pro-
ducts. They started to raise them
at home.
When this happened we began to
have annual SURPRISES" of wheat,
cotton and livestock
That is when our acute farm prob
lem began.
When farm prices fell in 1921 to
one-fifth of what they had been in
1920 farm leaders evolved the McNary-
Haugen Bill.
The first McNary-Haugen Bill
drawn in 1928 at the suggestion of
the then Secretary of Agriculture
Henry C. Wallace, father of the pre-
sent Secretary, was plan to dump
our Surpluses in foreign markets and
to share the cost of dumping" among
farmers by an equalization fee. This
was deemed necessary in order to
prevent the ever growing surplus
from depressing the domestic price of
farm products consumed in the United
States.
The first McNary-Haugen Bill was
defeated in the House.
In 1928 the McNary-Haugen bill
passed both houses but was vetoed by
President Coolidge.
In the 1928 campaign the McNary-
Haugen bill was a storm center. Cow
ernor Frank LOwden went down cham
pioning it in the Republican Conven-
ton of that year.
AS a compromise the Hoover Ad-
ministration created the Inflated
Farm Board. That experiment def
nftely indicated the impossibility of
holding prices up by artificial means
when repeated SURPRISES are being
produced each year and there is no
production control. 1t also showed
that foreign nations will not permit
the dumping" of subsidized exports
on their shores.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER ]. RYAN

The Soil Conservation Act which
was signed February 29, 1886 by
President Roosevelt and is now be-
ing explained and put into effect at
township meetings rhruout the coun-
try is the latest development in a
long battle by agricultural leaders
for social Justice for agriculture in
the United States.
1t is not the final step; we are on
ly beginning on the road to achieve
a balanced agriculture.. 1t is interest
ing to trace the path over which the
nation has come.
We start with the principle that
farm prices must be high enough to
bring sufficient income to permit the
farmer to purchase those things
which his family needs to maintain
itself at decent living standard.
The United States has been, ira
ditionally, high tariff nation.
Since this country has always ex-
ported more agricultural products
than it imports, tariff does not ma
terially increase farm income. We
have learned this lesson we'll in re-
cent years.
On the other hand the farmer is
a larger purchaser of industrial pro-
ducts. Tariffs which protect indus
try from competition from abroad do
tboir hit toward fOroinU tho farppor
to pay more for what he must buy.

tic allotment plan" which was later
put into effect under the AAA.
This program involved the simple
and direct method of preventing pro-
duction of SURPRISES by acreage con-
troll before the surplus was produced.
But this plan encountered a constitu-
tfonal obstacle in the Supreme Court.
We then adopted the idea of acre
age control through Soil Conservation
payments. This plan is now being
put into effect.
NO one can predict what the next
major step will be.

Cheaper farm refinancing along the
lines of the Frazier-Lemke Bill would
be a very beneficial step.
Another would be the lowering Of
such tariffs as would permit us to
regain part of our foreign markets.
Attempts in the direction are being
made through our reciprocal tariff
policies.

Jack MorrisSette, leading middle

Valley, who is slated to meet Her
man Graves, June 30, for the cham

tionable decision over Ken Holiday
of Santa Ana in the main bout in
Brawley Tuesday night.
Morrissette bounced out OF his
corner for the first round but was
stopped short in the center of the
ring by a left jab, a jab that kept
pestering the Brawley champ dur
ing the whole fight Morrissette kept
trying, however, and managed to
get in a few good punches in the
first frame.
In the second round Holiday kept
jabbing Morrissette and managed to
keep him off balance during the
entire round. At the end of the
round the Brawley battler was miss
ing badly.
The third and fourth rounds were

softbau teams of the Valley
league have furnished fans the pest
brand of ball ever seen in Imperial
Valley, this season.
Every game played has been
closely contested battle. Four games
have gone extra innings-one con
test lasting Is innings.
The valley league was formed to
revive interest in the sport in I'm
perial Valley and as the first rounc
of play is drawing to a close the
crowds at the games are growing
larger.
More fans are attending the games
because the contests are well play
ed, hard fought and crammed with
great pitching, spectacular fielding
and fine hitting.
Each team in the league has out
standing pitchers and as a result
every game develops into a pitcher s
duel. Southern California, E d
Kelly. Kelly throws a windmill
ball and depends on change OF pace
to BATTLE opposing batters. His sea
sen record will show his effective
ness.
Nelson Cummings. Holtville pitch
er, has also been standing batters
of the valley league on their heads.
Cummings throws a fast ball that
drops on some occasions and then
at other times the ball takes a
sudden jump. BY mixing in an oc-
casional slow ball Cummings com
pletely battles hitters of opposing
teams and is rated as one Of the
most effective hurlers in the league
Rubideaux does most Of the
chucking for the Brawley diamond
GERS The Brawley pitcher has
played in and out ball thus far IN
the season but may settle down to
be one Of the best IN the league.
