ment mentions an exception-but read
the language OF 1t:
I'm States where wheat acreage
per farm Is very small, much of the
State allotment will not be used for
assignment to individual farms. In
areas where there is no surplus of food
and feed grains, wheat acreage allot-
ments will be assigned only to farms
which usually raise more than 100
bushels for SALE"
That Is the only exception. If I
understand 1t, 1t Is, practically, no
exception at all. So far as there
Is any exception, it is within the dis
cretion Of Secretary Wallace and his
subordinates. Every farmer, every
where, who raises few acres Of wheat
must do as Henry Wallace says-or
else
What the "or else" is-the with
holding Of the IL cents bushel ben
efits payment" or whatnot-all that
need not be recited here. Part OF it
Is set down In the announcement.

And II I don't understand it. who have
spent weeks studying the crop control
law, then no farmer is likely to under
stand it. All the farmer will know will
be that an agent with Government au-

When the agent comes to this farm,
I hope he'll let me know In advance

when the fellow with the quota card
comes. Well make a ceremony Of it..
Maybe we'll have a welcoming COM

An appropriate company of greeters.

Imam parents, DR.. Williams is stepped
ditions of the United States Public
Health Service. He is the first son Of
a Public Health officer to join that
service himself. He received his A. B..
and NJ D. at the University Of Vir-
ginia, and Immediately signed up to
fight for public health-a lifelong
engagement.
DR.. Williams specialized early in
bubonic plague control. Important re-
search contributions by DR.. Williams
in developing a hydrocyanic spraying
process for ships have kept the di-
sease in hand. He has fought plaques
in Puerto Rico, New Orleans, and on
the West Coast for over 20 years. He
became assistant surgeon general in
charge Of quarantine in 1886.
Mosquitoes. rats, heas, and lice
carry such dread diseases as yellow
fever, bubonic plague, Old World
typhus
Rapidity of transportation causes
new problems. Airplane traffic from
yellow fever South American districts
brings travellers to this country more
quickly than the disease develops.
Last year $4,000 entered the port Of
Miami by aircraft, large percentage
from South America. Distinction Of
airplanes, surveillance of passengers
are essential measures. The latest
preventative is anti-yellow fever vac
cine. The service has called for 10000
doses for emergency use.
Maritime quarantine, first recorded
in the 18th century, was organized
in America in the middle of the eight
zenith. The United States set up the
Marine Hospital Service in 1898, when
an extremely broad and positive
status was passed.
DR.. Williams, short and ruddy, In
his soft Southern voice. says that Bos-
ton has not had case Of cholera
since 1910 and New York only 10:
that only II cases Of yellow fever were
reported from 1910 to 1881 in New
Orleans and Mobile, five cases of bu-
bonic plague on the Pacific Coast from
1924 to 1882. This means efficiency
and rigid care. The present head Of
the quarantine service is both efficient
and understanding.
