FarmersCan Borrow
81 Gents a BusheI
On Corn Crop
Benefit Payments Of
10 Cents Allowed on
Normal Production
BY the Associated Press.

oS SAiS HoooSialNu COO.
Midwestern farmers who COM
piled with the administrations crop
control program can get Govern
ment loan of 81 cents a bushel for
the portion of their 1888 corn with
held from market.
The loan rate. seven cents higher
than last year. was announced late
yesterday by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace. 1t was based on the
Federal Crop Reporting Boards es-
innate of 1888 production.
Besides the loan, complying
farmers also will receive benefit
payments of 10 cents a bushel on
the normal production of their
acreage allotments.
Loans of 43 cents a bushel will
be made to farmers outside the COM
mercial area who did not exceed
their 1888 soil-depleting acreage
allotments.
70 Per Cent Loan Provided.
The crop control law provides for
a loan of 10 per cent of the parity"
price in the commercial area if the
November crop estimate is not more
than 10 per cent greater than normal
needs. The parity price is now
about 81 cents bushel.
The Federal board estimated 1888
production at 2,48O,9580 900 bushels,
compared with estimated normal re-
quirementS of 2,218,000,000. Produc-
ton last year was 2,644 ,995 900
bushels, and the average for 1927-36
was 2,3O6, ,157 900.
Agriculture Department officials
estimated that as many as 10000, 600
bushels of the 1888 crop would be
stored on farms under the loan
plan, requiring a Federal outlay of
about $170000,000.
How much, if any, of this amount
will be loss depends on the price
of corn when the loans expire at
the end of year. If market prices
are below 81 cents, borrowers will
be able to surrender their corn for
full payment of loan and interest
If prices are above the loan, the
borrowers may sell the corn and
repay the Government in cash.
566 Counties in Area.
The commercial corn area includes
566 counties in Illinois, Indiana
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska
Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky.
The Crop Reporting Board re-
ported that abnormally warm, dry
weather in october favored the
harvesting of corn, soy beans, beans
and other late crops, but impeded
fall seedlings and some winter grains
already planted 1t said the weather
also caused rapid decline in the
condition of pasture in large area
extending from the Gulf of Mexico
northward to Western Kansas
Southern Illinois, Central Michigan
and Western Pennsylvania.
The board said the national corn
yield averaged 269 bushels per acre
compared with 282 last year and
yields ranging from 1873 to 26.6 the
preceding 10 years.
The only other crop estimate
changes from month ago, the board
said, were per cent increase in
beans, per cent increase in sugar
beets and flaxseed, a nominal in
crease of about l per cent in pea
nuts, 9 per cent decrease in buck
wheat, per cent decrease in grain
sorgums, a 3 per cent decrease in
pecans and decreases of about l per
cent in tobacco and potatoes.

 The commission today suggested that Mike Jacobs seek to arrange meeting between Apostoli and Young Corbett, the winner to meet Hostak for the middleweight crown.
 If Corbett refuses that match then it is suggested that Apostoli go against Hostak and Jacobs said he will try for the events.

THE NOME ASSAY OFFICE

Pointing out that new and more effective equipment has been in large measure responsible for the tour-million dollar increase in the output of gold in Alaska dur ing 1897, Territorial Commission CT of Mines B. D. Stewart adds that the newly established assay offices have been a factor in pro- noting expansion. Particularly, he says, has this been true in the Seward Peninsula where an assay office is operating at Nome.
 Ever since the Nome setup was inaugurated few months ago, it has been functioning at pace almost more than the one man in charge can handle. To those who recall the passage of the assay office law by the last Legislature this is particularly enlightening.
 It will be recalled the original draft of the assay office bill pro- vided for offices only at Ketchi- kan and Fairbanks. uring some facetious parleying in the House, Representative George Laiblin of the Second Division, offered an amendment to include an office at Nome. At the moment, the assay office bill was in a state of uncertainty with few of the opin ion it would actually get through the Senate. Representative Harry Race of ketchikan, who sponsor ed the measure and himself a lit tie dubious, sensing the apparent humor of MT. Lalblin's sugges- tion to get something for the End division, immediately fell in line. The result was that the House passed the measure with Nome included and sent it over to the Senate with a prayer but not much faith.
 Senator O. D. Cochran of Nome, who had gained quite reputa- tion in the Legislature as guard ian of the treasury, saw merit in the proposal and, more or less to the surprise of the House, the Senate passed the bill which es- toblished assay offices at Ketchi- kan, Fairbanks and Nome.
 Ironical as it may seem, the Nome assay office, which just

WISE FUR PROTECTION

The increase in value of the fur shipment from Alaska during the year just ended, nearly a half million dollars more than 1886, speaks we'll for the fur control policy being carried out by the Alaska Game Commission. It re- veals that sensible conservation methods, whiout going to extre- mes, do get results.
 A large part of the gain is ac countable to the open season on marten, Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Commission points out, which reveals that the careful handling of marten, that is closing the season when the supply began to diminish until such time as it was built up to fair proportion, has its beneficial effect on the entire industry A similar policy has been carried out in connection with beaver which has resulted in the supply being built up to the point where an open season will again be per mitted in 1888.
 Fur is one of Alaska's three big industries. And while the efforts are going forward toward further production of fur in captivity in the Territory, it is equally inn portant to keep the supply of wild fur somewhere near what it should be- Alaska fur is known the world over, and as we produce more and more on farms, much of it better than that taken in the wild, it is the fur taken by the isolated trapper in the back coun try which sells" Alaska fur to the world.

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK

In one of the last contributions he made to the London Sunday Express, the late R.H. L. Dick Sheppard, formerly Canon of St. Pauls wrote as folloWs:- . A great many of us believe in free speech for ourselves, but we're less ready to concede it to others.
 If we believe strongly in any thing we want to convert others to our way of thinking. And we are indignant if any one tries to stop us or shout us down.
 But when we appeal to the tra- ditional right of free speech ii isn't that which we're concerned about. What makes us angry is the fact that some one is attempt ing to suppress the truth"
 We don't realize that our free dom to preach what is true is bound up with the other fellows freedom to preach what is false If liberty is to be preserved any where in the world we must stor thinking about this question ir terms of truth and error.
 Most of the truths we accept today were at one time condemn. ed as falsehoods. We have come very gradually, to realize the right of other people to worship God in their own way. We have learned that no one church has ; monopoly of Christian truth. But we are slow to see that wha holds good in the religious fiele should hold good elsewhere a. well.

JACOBS ACTS TO
 SPIKE BOYCOTT
Offers lO%o of Louis-Max Profits 10 Roosevelt
 Fund for Refugees

New York, May 13.-(UP).-The executive committee of the non-sec- tartan anti-Nazi League met in emergency session today to consider its boycott of the Max Schmeling- Joe Louis heavyweight champion ship fight here June 9.
 The meeting was called after Promoter Mike Jacobs, apparently attempting to stymie the boycott, had offered 10 per cent of the fights profits to President Roosevelts for eign refugee aid movement.
 Jacobs offer was delivered in let ter form to Marvin McIntyre, presi- dential secretary. It said that the 10 per cent would amount to at least $7,5O0.
 The gesture was regarded as an attempt to attract part of New York's 2,500,000 Jewish popula tion to the fight. Many experts believed that the refugee contribution would give Jewish fans reasonable defense for attending the bout if the boy colt is not lifted.
 A spokesman for the league said Jacobs offer puts our organization on the spot. It puts us in the po- sition of boycotting an event which will contribute to refugees. We have called an emergency session of our executive committee to decide what course of action to pursue"
 Jacobs denied he was trying to spike the boycott.
