The New Farm Law.
(NeW York Times)

(NeW York Times)
 No one could object to the chief ostenSible pur- pose of the Farm LaW-the control and preyen- ton of soil erosion Yet if this were the sole central object of the new measure, that measure would hard W need to exist at all for this object already pro- vded for in the old Soil Conservation Act of 1885 The real purpose of the law is essentially the that of the AAA-to enable the farmers to maintain raise their prices by reducing crop production and to pay them for doing out of the Federal Treasury In the statement accompanying his signature to the bill the President asserts that it provides positive incentive for those who voluntarily shift from soil depicting surplus crops such cotton, corn wheat and tobacco into erosion preventing and soil building crops, such grasses and legumes7 It is significant that the soil depicting" crops should turn out to be precisely those that controlled by the AAA because they basic" or export" crops or because their price too low
 The instructions that the new law gives to the Sec retay of Agriculture and the powers that it delegates to him. at sweeping and vague. This partly because the act is designed to crcumvent the objections of the Supreme Court to the AAA Hence it expressly forbids the Secretary of Agriculture to any contract binding upon producer" At the same time 1t permits that official largely at his discretion pay out total benefits of up to $5O0OOO000 year to farmers who have satisfied him that they are using their land to carry out the purposes of the act This plan is to be followed for the balance of the calendar and through 1887 After that agricultural adjustment programs are to be left to the individual States, and money is to be paid by the Federal Gov ernment to those States that adopt programs which are approved by the Secretary of Agriculture
 One of the most controversial sections of the new law will be the amendment inserted by the House and adopted by the Senate in conference which declares to be the policy of the act to restore individual farm incomes to the same ratio with other incomes ed in the period from 1909 to 1914. This aim is at once much more ambitious and more difficult of at tanment than the restoration contemplated by the AAA, of pre-war parity" merely of farm prices But from one aspect it is sounder than the aim of the AAA for instead of high prices it emphasizes farm income, reminding that it may sometimes be greater with large crops at reasonable prices than with artficiay reduced crops at high prices The so- called consumers protective clause will also ..ep in setting limits to the pressure for crop reduction
 Because of the vagueness of act at many pomls however its practical working out depend largely upon how Secretary Wallace chooses to interpret it's instructions and to exercise the sweeping discretion that it confers upon him

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE GROWS.

It is tough going for the prophets of gloom. With singular and stubborn obsnacy the business and tl- nancal markets continue to behave if they have regard for the wierd warnings of the American Liberty League and hadn't even heard of MT Hoover reiterated announcements that ruin is just around the corner. Indeed they seem to have concluded that MT Hoover's prophecies Accurate but mis- placed and that the corner where ruin lurked is the one we passed about year ago or more.
 At any rate the cold figures of the financial and business columns of the newspapers furnish comment that should be interesting the Nation the vail ngs of the Jeremiahs. For example February 10 the stock market showed such little consideration for the calamity howlers that the daily average of 90 stocks reached the highest point it had touched since 1881 Not content with this demonstration, the index continued climb and celebrated the completion of MT Roosevelts third year in the White House, so to speak. with another surge upward.
 What made this significant of the disregard of investment public for the diretul forebodings of the Presidents deactors the Associated Press announcement on March that

 One of the largest offerings i'll postwar Treasury history it had been exceeded only by the offering of $950 December l5 last which bore the same interest rate but natures three years earlier The ob- vious conclusion is that when within less than three months the Federal Government is able to sell for the same interest rate bonds maturing three years later then the credit of the Government has improved public confidence in the Roosevelt Administration grows in obverse ratio to the hammering and the yam mering of the Presidents palpaby selfish critics.

In comedy Of errors Friday
afternoon the Sank Centre Rovers,

snapped fumbles and bad passes
with Foley on that clubs lot to best
them by touchdown, 13 to 6. It
was a gala day for peculiar situa-
tons and Villain tumble was in
strumental in giving two undeserv-
ed touchdowns. The situations that
arose kept the crowd in a lively
mood wondering what was coming
next and the coaches tore their
hair and rent their clothing-but In
vain.
Two things the locals learned
First, that with new uniforms and
on Foley's field in spite of lot OF
bad breaks they could beat Foley
And second they inaugurated a new
wrinkle in modern football when
they learned that in possession OF
the ball, they, Sank Centres Har.

fifty yards holding the ball all the
way and Foley could score on Sauh
Centres fourth down.
