fruits have done well. There
is some deficiency of moisture
in the Southwest, particularly
in southwestern Kansas and ad-
jacent territory. but on the
whole this is substantially less
than for some years back.
BUYING POWER LOWER
prices of commodities have
been greatly reduced, so the buy
ing power of the farmer is cor
respondingly lessened.
The Santa Fe has had to
curtail expenses and will insert
only about 100 miles of new
rail this year as compared with
443 miles last year. Passenger
travel is holding up quite we'll.
while we hope there will be
gradual pickup in business,
any dependable forecast seems
impossible"

Thanks to an extremely flex-

able to adapt ourselves quickly
to changing business conditions.

our traditional policy of research

and application of our products
to users requirements.
"I feel that the underlying
situation in business conditions
in general has improved since

doubtless will feel encouraged by
recent developments which show

COTTON OUTLOOK DARK
Although the price of cotton
rose 26 points during the past
week on a 10-market front, the
S.51-cent figure at the end of the
week is still far below the price
necessary to give the grower a
profit and provide a living wage
to farm workers, according to a
report of the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics.
The gloomy picture of the cot
ton market is darker with reports
that although the Egyptian cotton
production is 650,000 bales lower
than last year, it Is still above the
10-year average.
Buying of American cotton for
export increased slightly, but there
remains a world carry-over of
American cotton amounting to
13.600.0o0 bales, the largest on
record and about 100000 bales
more than a year ago.
YEAR-ROUND BUILDING
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board today advised affiliated
savings and loan associations to
lead a campaign for year-round

letdown that can be avoided.
By leveling off the peaks and
valleys of seasonal building, the
board said, tremendous direct and
indirect savings would accrue to
labor, building supply firms, equip

dently some people still lack faith
in the words of the white House
spokesman" who last week denied
that he intended to spread the
iva system or to prevent private
utility financing)
Personally, am inclined to
think that the unpopularity OK
the move to put the Federal Gov
eminent into the local utility busi-
ness is becoming so evident that
the spokesman" has to mean
what he says this time. In that
case, the utility stocks are "he-
hind the market"
NOW FOR THE PUBLIC
The upswing since September
26 has had two phases, and is now
entering third. In the first, the
shorts covered and shrewd In
vestorS averaged down" or picked
up bargains. In the second, which
began last Tuesday, belated bulls
who had missed the boat rein
stated their lines or reached up
for the positions they desired.
That carried through Thursday.
Now, think, "the public" is COM
ing in, and, with increasing irreg-
ularity the market is getting ready
for shakeout.
1t does not seem, however, that
the final high of the current in
termediate move has been quite
reached. It does not seem likely
that the corrective reaction which
lies ahead will be severe, and per-
haps only a series of irregular ups
and downs such as came last July
will be required.
Therefore, I am merely suggest
ing the wisdom of not being
hasty. It is probably not the time
to reach" for stocks. The wiser
course is to wait for dips in the
market and to buy then. Il do
not recommend selling any sound
stocks which have value supported
by earnings by at least good
prospects of dividendS.)

Cotton Program Heads
SeCretay'S List

Q.N.S) Agriculture Depart
ment officials today studied plans
to carry out Secretary Wallace'E
revised policy of concentrating on
domestic consumption, to de
crease large farm Surpluses.
Although no detailed plan has
yet been worked out to subsidize
domestic rather than only foreign
consumers, officials were proceed
ing with the program in connec-
ton with the drastic reorganiza-
ton of the department.
PLAN BROAD PROGRAM
They said that shortly after the
becomes effective,
october 16, Wallace is expected to
outline preliminary plans for a
program designed to make the
SurpluseS more available to low
income groups, families on relief
and others.
The program is expected to be
worked out chiefly by Wallace

broad powers over the American
farmer when Wallace'S reorgan-
ization plan goes into effect.
Tolley, who will become head
of the Reconstruction Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics, will be
second in command to Wallace as
far as policy-making is concerned.
COTTON SUBSIDY
Officials expected the subsidy
program to be initiated with cot
ton. They pointed to a recent
speech by Wallace, in which he
proposed that the textile industry
be subsidized, to make cotton pro
ducts for distribution to the needy
and sale to low-income groups at
prices lower than those received in
the established markets.
A special inter-department com
mittee, to study the proposed sub
sides for the textile industry,
and plans for reduction of other
surpluses through the domestic
market, will meet within the week.
The committee was appointed last
week by wallace following his
speech to cotton farmers at Fort
Worth.
CRITICISM RISES
The proposed subsidy program
for domestic consumption follows
on the heels Of increasing critic.
ism of the production-control fea'
lures of the farm program, which
has resulted in demands for domeS-
tic price-fixing Of farm products
through domestic allotment.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Agr1'
cultural economics has forecast a
domestic cotton crop of 12,212,0OO
bales, based on conditions as OF
October l. The forecast represents
an increase of 387 900 bales from
the forecast of September l, and
compares with a crop Of 18,946, ,0OC

STATE EMPL0YES
 IN PREDICAMENT

Hartford, Conn.,, May 27.-(UP). State and city employees through out Connecticut wondered today whether they would have to pay an income tax on their salaries for the past 12 years. They were startled by sudden announcement by Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin he had been informed U. s. supreme court ruling this week eliminated the state and city employees salary tax exemption. Mclaughlin said he received this information from At torney General John J. Bennett, New York state. Bureau of internal revenue officials here, however, said they had heard nothing about 1t.
 The supreme court ruling came, it was said, on decision holding the salary of an employe of the port of New York authority subject to federal income tax. The court ruled however, 1t was pointed out that the service performed by the port authority was not an "essen- tial governmental function of the state" Attorney General McLaugh- lin said he would go to Washington next Tuesday to meet with other state attorneys-general ito find what it's all about"
