QUOTAS TOO LATE
|. FOR WHEAT CROP
Wallace Says Funds for Act
Were Not Passed by
May IS.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Wallace said today that,
under terms Of the new crop control
law, it was too late to invoke market
ing quotas on this years indicated
bumper wheat crop.
The Agriculture Department chief
explained that the law authorized
quotas this year only in the event
Congress appropriated funds by May
Is for parity payments provided for
in the new legislation.
A pending proposal by Senator RUS
sell, Democrat. Of Georgia to make
funds available for such payments
comes too late, Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration officials SAID, TO
make quotas possible on this years
crop, which on the basis OF official
estimates may provide a supply FROM
400 100000 to 100000 900 bushels in
excess of domestic and export needs.
Secretary Wallaces statement said
marketing quotas would have been
funds for the parity payments. which
are designed, in so far as they Will
permit, to make up the difference
between what a grower receives for MS
crop and price which would give
the commodity purchasing power equal
TO that possessed in the 1904 period.
Wheat now is about 40 cents a
bushel below its pre-war buying power.
A. A. A. officials said their explana-
ton that the Russell proposal came
too late was not to be taken as in
dicating they were taking stand
one way or the other on the proposal.
Wheat is the only crop for which
marketing qoutas this year were con-
tingent on provisions for parity pay
ments. Quotas already are in effect
for cotton, and three major types of
tobacco. Establishment Of quotas for
corn will depend on the estimate Of
total supply made following the Agri-
culture Departments August crop re-
port.

After each explosion Of the flash
light bulbs, Alden said, That's all
now. Good-by" He doesn't know
many words, but he uses his brief
vocabulary on every occasion. When
a nurse approaches his bed he smiles
a welcome and bids her good-by.
He likes to surprise the nurses, too
He hides behind his mammoth Peter
rabbit picture book and cries, "Boo!'
Although DR.. H. H. Schoenfeld who
performed the operation. says it will
be at least six months before any
opinion can be given as to whether the
operation has corrected the mlcroce-
phaly from which the child suffers,
the youngster appeared normal and
happy today. The final effect of
microcephaly always has been idiocy
He's very popular with the nurses,
who say he rarely cries and greets
each one of them as special visitor.
He shook hands with each pho
tographer when the picture-taking
was finished and stood up in his crib
