"Acreage Allotments''
Farm Bill Gives Secretary OF Agriculture Wide
Authority Over Crop Quotas.

hand. il he thinks this is a bad trend,
he can decrease the acreage.
Further, the Secretary is permitted
to manipulate State and county quotas
on a basis which takes into account
''the promotion of changes in soil
conservation practices" That is an
elastic phrase, too. 1t seems to mean
that If the Secretary thinks a whole
county. or larger section, or even a
whole State. ought to be retired from
raising wheat or cotton or what not,
the Secretary can bring this about.
though the bill limits him SO that he
would be obliged to do this gradually.
The purpose in Mr.. Wallace's mind
may be to restore parts of the dust
bowl to nature by preventing the
raising Of any crops there. That, if
done with conscientious judgment,
would be wholesome.
The discretion which the bill gives
the Secretary would enable him to in
fluence or determine the destinies OF
whole States and sections. A POLITICAL
minded Secretary, or one holding GER
tain theories of his own. Or a Secre-
tary serving under political-minded
President, could reduce some States to-
ward condition Of fallowness, elevate
others toward abundant production.
Not only does the bill confer this
great power Of control over and dis
elimination among whole States and
sections. 1t conferS the sane power
thu ,it,o in
dividual farms. Upon each farm is to
be imposed quota. The work of al
lotting quotas to individual farmers is
to be done by local committees Of
farmers" This is supposed TO take
the curse Of Washington bureaucracy
OF the assignment of quotas-the
quota for any one farmer is to be
fixed by other farmers living in the
neighborhoOd. But where do these
farmers get their authority? They
get 1t from Washington. They are
paid by Washington. They have the
status OF official agents Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Being official.
they have power Of compulson-let
no one doubt that The farmer must
DO what they say, or else. !. farmer is
compelled to accept the quota they
impose upon him iSubject to an intri-
cafe, time-consuming and expensive
right OF appeal.
Iron Hand Concealed.
Local committee of farmers" seems
q phrase OF velvet camouflage to con-
ceal the iron hand of Washington.
Necessarily the local committee must
get their Instructions from Washing
ton. washington can only carry out
its large purpose by having each local
committee do what Washington wants.
Only Department of Agriculture ex-
pert could understand the intricate re-
quirements upon which the individual
farmers quota is based. The bill it.
sell says the county agricultural agent
shall be a member, eX officio, of the
county committee" The county agent
is direct representative of the De-
partment of Agriculture
l think the epitome of the crop con-
troll here given is correct l spent the
whole of Thanksgiving Day studying
the bill. If the bill bears any other
Interpretation. hope it will be
brought out.

fool you. There Is one pair Of true
legs on each OF the three front seq
nlents which form the thorax. and
there are in addition four pairs Of
prolegs. These are on the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth abdominal seq
ments. Last. but far from least. is
the sturdy proleg on the extreme end
Of the body. You can see why the
woolly bear can travel so fast and
hold on 50 firmly with his tail
clasper or proleg.
With his evenly clipped coat, ebony
colored head and two very tiny yellow
~ands. the caterpillar is really a
striking looking pedestrian when out
for stroll. If you stoop down to
pick him up. the very breeze that your
movement makes causes him to pause
in his hurry, and when you touch him
he curls up In tight ball and re-
mains in this position for some time.
His bristly appearance fools his foes,
the birds. They have, every one of
them, during their career. mistaken a
dainty tidbit for a bunch of sharp
spines. The woolly looks too much
like stiff brush to them and is let
alone
These caterpillars are fond of clover
dandelions and many grasses These
are absent during the winter in most
OF the caterpillars' haunts. and cold
weather has a benumbing effect on
them; shelter is sought with the first
cold days. though sunshine will
awaken them during the coldest
weather.

the bill will do:
The Secretary Of Agriculture will

may be devoted to the production OF
particular crop. let us say wheat
The basic figure for this acreage shall
be the average of the past 10 years,
with corrections for seasons Of abnOr-
NAL weather and other factors. The
calculations are wholly in the hands
of the Secretary of Agriculture and
his satisticians and advisers. The Sec
retarys word is final. Pennsylvania

than the Secretary Of Agriculture de-
crees. California must raise no more
rice than the Secretary DEGREES. Iowa

Counties to Get Quota.
Within each State. each county Is to

Here. obviously. is large power
given to an official at Washington to

| realized this and tried to specify in
as much detail as possible the factors
which the Secretary Of Agriculture
must take into account. They tried
so far as they could. to require him to
base the State and county quotas on
definite figures. But the Secretary
was left much latitude Of judgment
He is allowed to exercise his judgment
with respect to trends in acreage
| That is an elastic phrase. If the
| acreage of wheat has been increasing
in Illinois and if the Secretary thinks
| this is a good trend. he can increase
