 New Deal Takes Lead
 Drought and Q blistering sun raised the issue of farm relief. The New Deal has takn the offensive in a widespread money-spending re- lief campaign but MT. Roosevelt has had to defend himself against charges that his policies headed the nation toward Q food shortage.
 Drought also altered MT. Roose- velt's summer plans. He announced an August invasion of the DakotaS and Minnesota for first hand ohser- vation of drought and relief devel. opments. MI Roosevelt emphasized 1t was not a political maneuver. Nevertheless, it will take him to the third party stronghold of William Lemke. currency inflationist-agri- cultural relief presidential candi- date of the new Union party. May Make Speeches MT.

 Traders Went Wlld
 In the wheat pit shouting traders bid the prices up 2 1s2 to 3 7.0 cents. The traders, their collars and linen coats wilted despite the coloness Of an air-conditioned room, watched the weather map closely.
 Brokers were swamped with or ders. Above the din of telephonea and shouts traders discussed the Canadian situation-the bullish crop reports, conflicting weather dis- patches, and the possibility of c huge Canadian surplus finding ita way into this country.
 Shirt Collars were wllted in the trading pits and traders were hoarse from shouting. Men with poker faces screamed their offerings.

 Afraid of Canada
 Above tho din of telephones and shouting men, traders discussed the possibility of huge Canadian sure plus finding It's way to this cctlil- try's markets. Eventually, they saidl continually rising prices will ef- able the Canadians to override the "a per cent tariff and sell their sur- plus in the United States at . profit.
 Such . move, they pointed out, would cap on immediate ceiling on price gains.
 The Canadian crop might run as high as 400,000,000 bushels, it waa said. Normal Canadian consunap- ton Is around 1i2,000,000.
 Crop experts, trying to forecast effect of the drought, said Canadian wheat was reaching it6 most critic col stage, but that three or four weeks would Do necessary before yields would be known with any accuracy.
 United States markets, meantime are likely to continue nervous, they said.
 War Possibilities War possibilities in Europe also were believed to have influenced the general price gain of the last tive weeks. A European war, traders said, would wipe out the Canadian wheat surplus immediately ayac leave the United States with Q carry. over insufficient for the next year Conditions in the United StateI indicate that yields here will tota approximately 0D0,000,000 bushels about equal to normal annual con. sumption.
 Carryover from last year may amount to about i60,000. 900 bushels but no more than average and mol enough to see the country over ( shortage comfortably.
 Normal wheat yields in the United States usually total around e00,0O0,' 900 bushels.

NCouglnueu HUH ENBV A1 them asked me. These farmers agreed that:
 1. Unless rain comes within Q week, half # not oil of the corn crop --rowa's staple-wtll be wiped out.
 2. Chinch bugs have joined the insect plague and are doing ineStlm- able damage. The bugs infest some fields in such numbers that they have stripped small grain and corn to tho. ground. Fortunately, the 'hoppers are doing their severeSt damage in scattered localities.
 3. Early corn has tasseled or is tasseling, and is sapping precious subsoil moisture.
 {. Because pasture land has been burned out, farmers must ship theiE livestock soon, or 1t will become uEl. marketable.
 Wheat Crop Helps
 Fortunately for many 1owanS, 6 bumper wheat crop is being harvest. ed. It is the best in years. But corn Is In desperate condition. I asked A, L. Morrlcal, near Tabor, what he could do without pasturGge. "Tll have to use hay for feed until l can ship my cattle" he said. Hay does not fatten cattle to the maximum, and the lost weight will be lost money. George Carl, nea: Sidney, To-, like other farmers, Is trying to make the best of 0 desperate Situa. ton. "f'm glad ! have c few acres oi wheat salvaged from what looks like Q bad year." he said. But we need rain-and plenty of It."
 Looks Very Blue
 Felix R.. Shannon, who owns 40t acres of fertile land near Qlenwood said any more temperatures like the l02 and 107 of the last few days will blast his hopes of c bountlful year If we only had rairl, or even cooler days to take away this drying wind, he said. Tt looks blue." asked Roy Haney, who manages some 30 farms in Mills county, when he had the lest rain. 1T can't remember" he said. My early corn is going fast Haney added. "We're right ct the point where we 90 under or hit Q good crop year."
 Crush to Dust
 Haney led me across Q 06-Acre field of early corn. The tasseled stalks were white. I crushed one of tho tassels In my hand. It crunched into dust. Several rows of the corn had been stripped to stalks by grass. lloppers. T had what looked like better than average stand in this field" Haney said. "Now - it's worthless" At Malvern, l walked into the once of County Agent I,angstreet. fie was waiting fot poison to distribute among farmers to stop the graSshopper plague.

 Some of the farmers, like Grover Mickelwaite ct Pacific Junction, de. cided noA to walt and bought theil own poison. Mickelwaite spent $i2t for white lead and sprayed his eFl. tire farm. His corn fields looked as if they were covered with white dust. "The poison will last until ( rain comeS," he said. God knowl when that will be-"

As for Mr. Roosevelts proposal that a projected
census of the unemployed give way to self-regs-
traton of the nations idle merely hope that 1t
will work with sufficient accuracy to let Congress
and F. d. R. himself know precisely where they
stand in attempting to meet the relief problem or
mt its solution on something like sound and in

The presidents idea, revealed after Secretary
of Commerce Roper announced that machinery for
an unemployed census had already been set up and
that an appropriation therefor would be asked of
Congress Immediately it convened, is to have
the obless counted monthly by voluntary registra-
ton They would not be eligible for WPA jobs or
other federal relief benefits unless they so regis
tered. How this compulsion would fit in with
voluntary response or why such count is lacking
now, since the jobless must necessarily be OF fed

As for the embarrassment, inconvenience or dis

offensive than monthly marching to some desg-
mated registration point Putting the idle to work.

as to how much corn man could husk IN given

Although there are no stadia, grandstands or

THE ERRORS OF OPTIMISM

Willard L. Thorp, director Of economic research
for Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, believes that IF de-
preston is around the corner behind us, it also is
around the next corner in the future"
Mr.. Thorp uttered his warning while in Chicago
last week. He also said that already, in isolated
spots, he had found evidence of the appearance OF
"boom psychology" and with expanding consumer
purchasing power interest rates low and six years
Of enforced consumer economy behind us, some
are seeing no limit to the current upswing. We
seem to be headed for what British professor
calls "a period of optimistic error"
It seems rather early to hear an authority warn
AGAINST too much optimism in American business
short time ago the country was struggling in the
depths of pessimism and there apparently was no
way out.
Human beings soon forget adversely and, when
il posses lose all fear of another attack 1t IS quite
possibe that if not warned and if no obstacles are
thrown in its way, American business, like wagon
without brakes that has been pulled and pushed up
a long hill, may, when it reaches the decline on the
other side, break away from those IN charge ana
rush madly into another valley of distress.
It is we'll for Mr.. Thorp and other business and
financial authorities to urge the American people

The mother went to her sons

with your gums is that there is

treated the gums and the trouble
cleared up in a few days.
The next time the son saw his
dentist he asked, "How could a
member of your profession mis-

The dentist replied grimly, "One
