Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

RALEIGH, June 22-The Farm Bu-
reau Federation was able to secure
much beneficial legislation from the
Congress that just adjourned, E. F.
Arnold, secretary of the North Caro-
lima branch of the federation, said to-
day.
The organization met with a num-
Der of reverses,'' Mr.. Arnold said, "but
it has at the same time been sue
cessful in securing approval of
major part of it's legislative program"
He listed a half dozen successes of
the bureau, as follows:
Cd Ear marking $212, 100000 of
pump-priming funds for parity pay
ments on wheat, corn, rice, cotton
and tobacco
(2) Appropriation of $5O,OO0,O0O for
purchase of farm SURPRISES such as
dairy products, fruits, vegetables, ETC.,
for relief distribution.
90 Exemption of farm labor from
the wage-hour bill.

50 Securing $13D,00OyOOO for adj
justment payments on cotton.
CO. Passage of 1888 AAA compulsory
crop control act in the face of bit
ter opposition from other farm or
CARNATIONS.
Mr.. Arnold pointed out that every
one of these accomplishments is of
direct benefit to North Carolina farm
ers. The North Carolina branch of
the bureau was very active in sup
porting the national program, he said.
These activities were all in con-
nection with the farm program built
around the new AAA of 1885, he
pointed out, and do not include other
measures and appropriations spon-
sored and secured by the bureau.
1--WE are proud of the results OBJ
tanned and we hope to be able to
secure other much needed remedial
legislation and appropriations of q
permanent nature to secure and main

CONSTRUCTION ON
PARKWAY SPEEDED
National Park Service Hast
ening Work on Route in
This State

Raleigh, June 22-The National
Park Service is materially speeding
up construction of the Blue Ridge
Parkway in North Carolina, with the
result that ia miles are under con-
struction or under contract in the
State right now, with from 25 to 35
miles more under contemplation for
letting this summer, according to in
formation just gathered by the adj
vertising division of the Department
of Conservation and Development.
Since this division probably has
more inquiries about the Blue Ridge
Parkway and the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park than other
sections, it maintains an exhaustive
file on both of these.
Two new sectors, comprising about
% miles, from Grandmother Gap to
Mckinney Gap, are already under con
struction and the contract has been
let for a third sector in this same
area that will take the parkway to
and beyond Little Switzerland and
within about eight miles of Buck
Creek Gap. Accordingly, about 80
miles are eight under construction
from Grandmother Gap, about two
miles east of the top of Grandfather
Mountain, over towards Linville Falls,
Spruce Pine, Gooch Gap and Little
Switzerland Indications also are that
a contract will be let this summer
for the final link in this sector to
Buck Creek Gap, where it will con-
meet with the links which have been
under construction there towards
Asheville for almost two years.
Contracts may also be let soon for
the link of about 16 miles from Deep
Gap to Blowing Rock and the sector
of about II miles between Bull Gap
and Toe River Gap. If these contracts
are let this summer, they will make a
total of approximately $50 miles
either under construction or under
contract in North Carolina, with 60
miles virtually completed out of the
total proposed route of 27O miles
from the Virginia line to the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park. If
contracts are let for one or two Sec
tors west of Asheville, in the Wagon
Road Gap-Tennessee Bald area, as
Secretary Harold Ickes has indicated
will be, the mileage will be still fur
Their increased. The 60 miles from
the Virginia line to Deep Gap is now
being surfaced and will be ready
about October IS.

best, gaudiest and all things con-
sidered, the greatest heavyweight box
ing rivalry in a decade reached it's
climax tonight in what promises to be
a balmy, milliondollar setting at the
Yankee stadium.
The 15-round return match between
Joe Louis, 24-year old American Ne
gro holder of the world championship
and Max Schmeling 32-year-old Ger
man challenger, may not crac kany
fistic records. Nevertheless it has
whipped the fight faithful to high
emotional pitch, created more inter
national sporting excitement and prov
ed the biggest box-office magnet of
any title bout since Gene Tunney rode
the famous "long count" to victory
over Jack Dempsey at Chicago in 1927.
Three million dollars was the goal
that Tex Richard nearly achieved, at
the peak of his fantastic career as a
promoter II years ago. Tonight, Mike
Jacobs, the ex-ticket broker who
"staked" Richard for years, will be
all smiles if the gross gate" touches
the magic million-dollar mark that
barely eluded him in the Louis-Max
Baer fight three years ago.
With the advance sale reported
slightly over 100000, the promoter
figured a reasonable chance of achiev
ing his goal. Counting $4,000 already
paid for radio and motion picture

There is . way by which the Amer
lean housewife can do her bit in
helping Uncle Sam keep the Nations
. granary normal.
It was suggested by Mrs. Henry A.
Wallace, wife Of the Secretary of Agri-
culture, the other afternoon as she sat
In the living room of her hotel suite,
overlooking Rock Greek Park, talking
tn her quiet, unaffected way about
the things that interest her most.
Mrs. Wallace herself had opened
the door, for she had suggested that
her maid take the afternoon to see
the rural arts exhibit at the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. AS she led the
way down the long, attractive room to
= graceful settee, you were aware of
q pretty face and shining eyes lighted
by 4 warm smile, once brown hair now
graying and waved softly close to
her head, and a becoming dress Of
rough crepe, gray with a cast OF
mauve.
This was the woman who, in her
modest way. was to suggest the method
by which she believed the housewives
Of America. the biggest buyers Of the
farmers crops. could really help to
solve the crises OF the lean and fat
years that beset American agriculture.
Almost from the beginning the con-
versation had turned to this major
problem Of the Nation today.
Suggestion on Purchases.
II should think" said Mrs. Wal
lace, that the housewife might try to
buy little more of the products that
are abundant and lower in price and
less Of the higher-priced and scarcer
products"

who were willing to follow the plan,
