prices dropped three cents or more
a bushel in active trading today or
the Chicago board of trade, wher
prospects for large sales to foreign
nations evaporated. The September

At the close wheat was 3h to 3A

throughout the session. Accumula- p

tion that Canadian grain will be

JOB[ESS CENSUS
PLANS PREPARED
Commerce Department Out
lines Survey Which May
Cost S15,0OO,OOO.
By the Associated Press.

Commerce Department officials re-
ported today they have laid the
groundwork for a proposed SIS
100000 census of the unemployed,
which congressional advocates con-
tend would "let us know where we
are when relief needs are considered" !"
Several bills authorizing a Nation
wide jobleSS count are pending in
Congress, and officials said they would
recommend enactment of legislation
at this session.
Representative Kerr, Democrat, of
North Carolina, member of the
House Census Committee. said an
unemployment canvass would provide
valuable yardstick for measuring
relief needs.
Sees Cost Justified.
"Of course, the cost would be sub
stantlal,' he asserted, but I think
1t would be wise expenditure
1T is now anybodys guess as to
how many unemployed there are, and
the value Of census would be
inestimable, particularly if continuing

checks were made to determine how
the number fluctuated."
Under the Commerce Department
plan the census would be kept up
to date by sample" counts in various
segments of industry after the can
vass had been made.
officials said the census would re-
quire 10000 to $4,000 workers and
could be completed in two to three
months.
They expressed opposition to any
plan for using relief workers to make
the count, asserting the detailed
study could best be made by persons
chosen especially for the work by
the Census Bureau.
Voluntary Plan Opposed.
Suggestions that the census be
taken through voluntary registra-
ton also were described as not feasible
because, it was said, many jobless
probably would not register.
Plans for the census, oIncials said,
envision the use of forms which would
supply new information on the prev
alence of unemployment by age
groups, sexes, regions and industries.
In addition, it was said, the type
of work the now jobless could best
do would be determined and the num-
Der Of ''unemployables" definitely
fixed -
Under existing law, the Census
Bureau is authorized to count the
unemployed in the general 1910
census.
Bureau authorities said the can
vass would cost considerably less
than Sl5,000,00O in conjunction with
the regular census, but commerce
officials asserted it should be made
as soon as possible.
If Congress acts at this session, they
declared, the census probably could

FARM LEGISLATION.

II the Associated Presx

~ the Associated Press.
A movement to postpone action until
next year on the agricultural ADJUST
ment program drafted by farm organ
lzations developed today among con-
eressional leaders.
They pointed out that delay would
aid the economy campaign and would
give farmers time to study the legisla-
ton, which combines authorization for
production control, soil conservation,
limited crop insurance and an ever
normal" granary.
The cost might be between 5000 OO0,-
900 and $3oo,0oO,ooO greater than the
present soil conservation program, &C
cording to American Farm Bureau
officials
Although final decision lay with
President Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace
said yesterday he hoped a broad
Federal program along the lines or
that bill would be enacted at this
session.
II think the farmers, generally
speaking, have drawn up very fine

lures would be held constitutional.
Several members of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee commended the

duction control and price guarantees.
The objective of the groups support
Ing the bill is a return of the good
old days of American agriculture

While it would set up more COM

Of major farm commodities in line
with normal demands
In years when accumulated supplies
become excessive all farmers would ne
given marketing quotas. Those selling
in excess of quotas would be subject
to penalty taxes and fines.
Parity Payments and Loans.
Farmers cooperating with the Gov
eminent program to control produce
ton would receive parity payments
and would be eligible for loans on that
part of their crops not placed on the
market. Sponsors say the parity pay
ments and the market price would
give the farmer the 19O9-1914 pur-
chasing power of his products.
The unmarketed portion of the CO.
operating farmers yield on which a
loan was obtained would be stored
under Government regulations-thus
establishing the "ever-normal gran
airy advocated by Secretary Wallace,
In years of heavy production sur
pulses would be stored in the gram
aries for use in years of lean produc-
ton.
Advocates say that through the
power to require storage or release

act would levy no processing taxes.
