AAA ASKS SLASH
OF 20 PER. CENT
in wheat SOWN
Warns Of "Sharp" Drop
In Grain Prices

U.N.sJ. Sounding a warning
of possible sharp" price declines
in wheat unless production is
curbed, the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration today ap-
pealed to farmers to plant 20 per
cent less winter wheat this fall
than last.
The 800, 900, 000-bushel wheat
crop anticipated for this year, on
the basis of August conditions,
would, If repeated next year, re.
suit in declines, the AAA said.
DECLINES EXPECTED
wheat seedlings in the United
States for the 1887 crop were
approximately 100000 acres"
the AAA statement said. with
normal yields and abandonment,
this would have produced $780,
100000 bushels.
winter wheat farmers seeded
100000 acres for 1887, as
compared with average seedlings
during the 1928-32 period Of 45,-
600, 900 acres. # wheat farmers
seed as many acres for 1888 as
they seeded for 1887 and obtain
average or better yields, declines
in wheat prices are likely. These
declines might be sharp II there
are average or above average
wheat yields in the United States
and other wheat producing ma
tons Of the world"
PROGRAM DELAYED
The AAA soil conservation pro-
gram details for 1888 have been
held up in the hope Of Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace and AAA
officials that Congress would enact
laSt-minute general farm legisla-
ton, which would launch Wal.
lace'S ever-normal granary plan,
and make possible production or
marketing control.
AS a result, the 1888 plan will
not be ready for some time. It is
now being outlined, AAA officials
said. Meanwhile, they suggested
that farmers. in their plans for
1888 crops, restrict paintings to 80
per cent Of their this year aver
age"

 At the hospital Leek said he must have been in the truck at least l2 hours, although he could mot remember what happened. He said he was driving to Anch- orage from the Inn yesterday af- ternoon and that the automobile skidded near the Marsch ranch.
 Il must have been knocked out because I remember nothing more,' Lesk said.
 Leek, who was coming to An chorage to do his Christmas shop ping, was only partially conscious when he arrived at the hospital. An examination showed both feet to be frozen virtually solid. The left leg was frozen seriously and the left side of the body and the shoulder were also frozen. It ap- peared that he had lain all night on the left side.
 C. L. CadWallader of Wasilla, employer of Leek, came to An chorage at dawn this morning & found his truck in the ditch.
 MT. Cadwallader telephoned his hotel at Wasilla and dispatch ed an automobile to the Fishhook Inn for Mrs. Leek. She will be taken to Wasilla today and will come to the bedside of her hus- band tomorrow.

.Oldtimer States Shocking Times
 Compared Old

SEAI lLE, Dec. tHD)-r Tankly, Klondike Kate is scandalized by some members of this here now younger generation.
 The way lot of these cigaret- te-smoking slack-wearing, stove hot cuties carry on in the beer parlors and dance halls of this modern era, she says, is a down. right caution.
 Compared to them, the dance hall girls of roaring Dawson were respectable, genteel ladies. As a matter of fact, stoutly asserts Klondike Kate, the dance girls of roaring Dawson at the turn of the century were respectable lad ies. Present-day fictioneers and motion picture producers, she la ments, have grossly libeled them. A lady was a lady in the Naugh- ty Nineties, says klondike Kate. Now she's some other mans wife
 Visits Seattle
 A charming person herself-a lady of almost legendary reputa- tion, Klondike Kate-Mrs. Kate Rockwell Watson of Bend, Ore. was in Seattle recently to at tend the opening of the Alaska Yukon Civic Exposition at the Alaska Yukon Civic Exposition at the Civic Auditorium. londike Kate spends her win ters in the beautiful little town of Bend, where she is extremely active in civic, social and Catho- lie circles But summer finds her in her old stampeding ground in the Far Yukon, where Husband Watson works a small mine all year around.
 Movie Version Hit
 I've never yet seen motion picture" she said, (which pictur- ed the dance hall ladies as they really were. We weren't fallen women. Sure, we worked for percentage checks on the liquor sales, but it stopped there. Peo- pie noWadys have got the old time dance hall girls mixed up with the girls who lived across the river.
 II saw moving picture recent ly in which the dance hall girls were pouring champagne on men who had fallen on the floor. Nev- CT in all my years in Dawson did I see such thing. I saw Mae West in Klondike Annie. They wouldn't have let the kind of Wo- man that Mae West portrayed stay in one of Dawson's dance halls in those days.
 Honestly, you see much worse scenes in the beer parlors of to- day than you ever saw in the saloons and dance halls of the Yukon"
 Ghost Town
 Dawson isn't what it used 10 be, Klondike Kate admits sadly. The people there are nice, but there isn't that genuineness about their handshake. You have the f4el- ing, she says, that everyone is pre- occupied, living within himself. It's a ghost town, the buildings sag, the streets are empty. and the wooden sidewalks echo hol- lowly and lonesomely to your footsteps as you walk down 10 the postoffice. And you don't feel any more that you can leave your doors unlocked.
 Klondike Kate still rolls her own cigarettes. It's habit she learned in the Yukon and she's never fancied the tailor made variety of the comforting weed.
 How old is she now?
 She says she's "sixtyish," but she hopes she still thinks like woman of thirty. Her friends among the sourdoughs say she does.

Repeating his performance of last

four down with but nine holes to

the pace from then on. Hines, who
utilized his lunch period for prac-
tice sessions, made a fight Of it early
in the afternoon but his desperate
bed was choked off.
If it were not for Tony Manero's
amazing finish, Laffoon would de-
serve the honors for staging a grand
uphill fight. The broad shouldered
