SMITH WILL Join
CAMP PA|GN IN EAST
Decides to Speak Against
RooseveIt-5 Addresses
Mapped.
BY ALBERT l.. WARNER.

Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presi-
Dental candidate Of 1928, has de-
cided to enter actively into the field
against President Roosevelt and the
New Deal during the last six weeks Of
the campaign.
Upon his own initiative, 1t was
learned yesterday, Smith, whose brown
derby campaigning brought millions
out to see and hear him eight years
ago, has determined to make a series
Of speeches. There may be as many
as five and they will be delivered in
vital political centers of the East.
One speech in Massachusetts,, an
ether in New York and another. per-
haps in New Jersey, are included in
the program which Smith Is reported
working out. He is due to make his
own announcement In a few days.
Neither the Republican party nor the
to the information in political circles
here, will sponsor the addresses.
Smith proposes to make his own
announcement when he gets ready,
prepare his own speeches and de-
liver them under his own auspices.
Whether he will speak for Gov. AL
fred M. Landon, nominee of the party
which Smith has fought for a life
time, Is a detail with which the Capt.
tai Is unfamiliar But the whole point
of Smiths essay into the campaign
is to help mobilize opinion against
Mr.. Roosevelt and the perpetuatton
of his administration.
The former New York Governor
thus will be striking at his one-time
political ally. President Roosevelt
three times nominated Smith for
President. After Roosevelt succeeded
Smith as Governor Of New York,
growing GOODNESS came to first peak
in 1882 when Roosevelt took the presi-
Dental nomination for himself in
defiance of a strong convention group
marshaled by Smith. However, the
latter made several not-too-enthusi-
astic speeches for Mr.. Roosevelt In
the 1882 campaign.
Angered by the policies Of the New
Deal, Smith broke openly and whole
heartedly with President Roosevelt.

Usually about 800 carloads are re-

Produce Row estimates about 100 car

Il PCT. R|SE:.S SEEN
! IN FARM INCOME
Prices Raised by Drought
Offset by Shortening of
Crops.
By the Associated Press.


With drought heightened prices on
setting shortened crops, the Agricul-
ture Department estimated yesterday
that cash income Of farmers this year
would total s7s50. .ooo, 900, almost II
per cent more than the 1885 total OF
$1,000, 5000
Both totals include cash income
from the marketing Of farm products
and benefit payments under Federal
farm plans. The department said
Government payments during 1896
are expected to be considerably small
er than in 1885," when they were
$685., 100000.
The cash income estimate was de-
scribed as based on actual income
for the first seven months of this
year. plus indications as to sale and
probable prices for farm products"
during the remainder Of 1886.
s4,o24, 1000, 900 Cash Received.
Cash received by farmers in the
first seven months of this year was
placed at s4,024,o00 900, compared
with s3,426, 900 900 for similar period
In 1885.
The advance of prices as the re-
suit Of drought-reduced crops. and i'm
proved demand for farm products, u
were given as main factors behind the
prediction that farm income for the
remaining months of this year would
be higher than last.
The increases during the first hall
Of this year were credited to larger
supplies Of farm products sold al
slightly lower prices than in 1885
During the last half, the economists
said, this will be reversed with shorter
supplies and higher prices.
"This higher level of prices Is likely
to more than Offset the lower level o1
marketing, and the cash income
during the remainder of 1886 probably
will be slightly larger than for the
same period" it was said.
The sharp advances in many crol
prices because of the drought wer'
said to have caused farmers to mar
ket crops "earlier than usual thi.
year" and so increase June ana July
income totals.
Consumer Demand Better.
An expected decline in income from
crops later this year because of early
marketing and drought reductions
will be offset, it was said, by increased
income from livestock and livestock
products during the rest Of the year
Improved consumer demand aris-
Ing from better business conditions
was listed as a factor in sustaining
prices.
The economists adZitted two fac.
tors might change their estimates.
If pastures improve and reduce the
necessity for early marketing Of i've
stock. income during the remainder
Of the present year might be slightly
smaller" they said.
On the other hand, they asserted
that if the bulk of payments from
the s47o000,0oO fund for this years
soil conservation subsidy program Is
made before January /. that would
tend to increase the income during
1885,,
A. A. A. spokesnen said no pay
snents had been made under this pro-
gram, although some might start next
month. They predicted the peak in
payments would be reached about
January /.
