gotiated. Previously, under Title
of the Act, new construction on va
cant property could be financed by
loans not to exceed $4,000.
Another important change made
by Congress, MIR. Peters said, makes
it impossible to use money obtained
on loans of $4,000 or less for the
purchase and installation of equip
ment and machinery. Loans of this
size are to be eligible for insurance
only when they are to be used to
finance structural repairs, altera-
tions or additions to existing build
ing or for equipment and machin-
cry to be so installed as to become
a part of the real property.
Loans in excess of $4,000, however,

BUREAU LEADER
CLAIMS CRITICS
ARE INACCURATE
Farm Group Official Says
Foes Statements Are
Exaggerated.

Hassil Schenck, Indiana Farm
Bureau, Inc. vice president, today
charged that exaggerated and in
accurate statements have been
made in criticism of Farm Bureau
sponsored agricultural legislation.
Untrue statements, he said, have
been made about imports of agri-
cultural commodities, and the cause
has been laid at the door of the
bureau.
He said:
While these importations were
greater in 1885 than in 1882, the
total value of our agricultural i'm
ports during the last fiscal year
amounted to less than one billion
dollars. The past 10-year average
was one and two-thirds billions, and
the last 20-year average was one
and three-quarter billion dollars.
In practically every instance, the
total volume of our principal COM
petitive agricultural imports during
the last fiscal year constituted a
small percentage of the total do
mestic consumption, amounting to
four-tenths of / per cent in the
case of cattle, butter, Ia per cent;
cheese, 1879 per cent; beef, 1.5 per
cent; hay, one-tenth of per cent;
barley, per cent; corn, per cent;
oats, ID per cent, and wheat, %
per cent.
Decrease Is Shown
I'm 1920, agricultural imports
amounted to $3,410,000,000. How
ever, there was a gradual decrease
until the low ebb of $612, 900 900 was
reached in 1888. There has been
an increase in both 1884 and 1885,
totalling 1868 100000 last year. 1t
Is TO be noticed that as farm prices
in this country become lower, agri-
cultural imports diminished and as
prices, of agricultural commodities
became higher. imports increased.
In general, low prices discourage
imports, high prices encourage i'm
ports.
Regardless of the amount OF any
farm commodity which we produce,
If the price is high in this country
it is to be expected that foreign ma
tions will seek our market" stated
Mr.. Schenck. Legislation in the
last session of Congress gives the
Executive Department of our gov
ernment the authority to place
quotas on amounts of agricultural
commodities coming to our shores.
1t is the duty of the Farm Bureau
to see that farmers have fair deal
under this legislation"

T. is for Tobias and it was my
grandfather name.

what your mother called me. Later
when I went into business thought
Jay was more dignified so I took to
using it instead. It's the name I've
used for 20 years now.

disgrace. She didn't want any con-

she called you Toby Ryan. Your

 lens to Confer With Farley and Others

Hyde Park, N. F, Aug. si.--(uP) President Roosevelt turned today from consideration of drouth prohs lomS to his reelection campaign. He confers with party leaders head cd by James A. Farley, democratic national committee chairman.
 White House attaches professed to Do ir doubt as to the exact nature of Fariey'B visit but observers felt he was coming here with advisers to talk over Mir. Roosevelt'g itifiers ary.
 There was the belief that Mir. Roosevelt might follow closely the course he covered in ieS2. At that time he entered Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington oregon, California, Arizona, Nes braSlka and Illinois. Tn some of those states he delivered major addresses.
 Accompanying Farley to the sum" mer White House were Frank Walker, former head of the National Emergency Council, and Forbes Morgan, party treasurer. Their presence gave rise to the belief that democratic campaign finances would be scanned together with the gen. eral picture of party progress.
 During the day the president waS scheduled to confer with former Governor Winant of New Hamp- shire, now chairman of the social security board; the Rev. V. N. For. tegofY, of Albany, N. Yy on old friend, and c. c. sherill, head Of the Retail Stores association.
 Others on the calling list, much larger than any day this week, were Sen. Gerald P. Nyc, ropublis can, North Dakota; William Q. 9eas mans, California, on ofiicial Of the cooperative plan in that state, and Congressman Edward 0. Moran, Jro democrat, Maine.
