NOlU and Election
Honey to Farmers

WASHINGTON. = Between now
and election day, at least $275,-
100000 will be paid out to farmers
by AAA.
The effect on purchasing power
and business, however, should be
more important than the political
effect. About $20,000,000 of the
money will go to cotton producing
states, most of which are normally
and solidly Democratic.
Confidential estimates prepared
by government experts indicate
that nearly $145,000,O00 will be
disbursed in payments under the
regular AAA farm program in the
next four months and nearly $780,
100000 under the cotton price ad-
justment program within the next
five months.
States receiving the most moriy
and the approximate amounts are
expected to be: Texas $46,576,00;
Georgia, $18,813 ,000 Alabama, $18,-
100000; Oklahoma, SIG, ,181 900;
Mississippi, $15,000000 Arkansas,
$13,579,000; South Caroline, $13
$4,000; Iowa, $12,OOO,OO0; Missouri
$10,165 900; Minnesota $10000,000;
North Carolina, $9,512 900; Louisi-
ana, $9,342,000; Tennessee $6,150,-
900; Illionis, Kansas, Wisconsin and
North Dakota, about $6000,00
each and California, $5,7700O0.
The worst dreams conservative
Republicans have on these warm
nights arise from fear that in some
way or other they will find Mayor
Fiorello LaGuardia of New York
their party's presidential nominee
in 1910.
Tt can be said with authority,
however, that what
ever his immediate course in New
York state politics-haS no illusion
that he can be nominated and
elected to the presidency two years
hence. His closest friends do feel
that he would be a valuable vice
presidential nominee and there is
reason to believe that LaGuardia
himself doesn't scorn the idea.
LaGuardia is still personally
close to Roosevelt and the betting
among his friends is that before
long he will have entered into a
more formal political alliance
with the President.
The Food and Drug AdminiBtra-
ton and the Department of Agri
culture are forbidden by law TO
test the effect on human beings of
poisons sprayed on fruits and veg
etables. Under Title l of the latest
agriculture appropriation bill you
will find:
Provided further, that no part
of the funds appropriated by this
act shall be used for laboratory in
Vestigations to determine the pos
sibly harmful effects on human be-
ings of spray insecticides on fruits
and vegetables"
The provision was first offered for
the 1897 act by Congressman Clar-
ence Cannon of Missoui, a fruit
grower. Adopted, it interrupted a
program of Food and Drug Ad-
research and expert
on dogs. Congress ap-
$4,000 to the u. S.
Public Health Service for similar
work. The U.S.P.H.S. hasn't yet
