just a Word of Praise
For AAA Administrators

That I may not be accused Of be-
ing common scold. let me give
the AAA administrators a word of
praise just here. The soil building
and soil conservation phases of the
program likely are going to be valu-
able although ! fail to understand
why anybody thinks it is necessary
to pay farmer to keep his own
land in good shape. But, skipping
my own thoughts on that, there is
justification for governmental inter-
est in helping to restore soil on a
national scale because our nation is
going on for number of years -
we hope.
Then, too, there is argument IA
vorable to policy of government
encouragement in the planting Of
trees, program Of reforestation.
There is, of course, that famous
''parity" business. There is a fund
of 1926, ZOO, 900 which bunch of vote
getting congressman put into law.
From it, the AAA officials can pay
farmers producing wheat, cotton,
corn, tobacco and rice certain sums
if the price of these commodities
is less than "75 per cent of parity"
We have had that one before and
after many trials there are still
many hundreds Of versions of ''par-
ity." It has put the money out.
There is no doubt about that. The
AAA men made sure that all of it
went out, but some of the methods
of calculations, of appraisals, of dis
examinations among farmers, of dos
and don't's and just plain bureau
cratic RECOMMENDATION make fellow
dizzy. cannot help wondering what
those who live hundred years from
now will say when they read the
current AAA records. They may
find some new words that will prop
erly describe the mess.

Whole Farm Program for 1910 Is
To Be Broadened, AAAAnnounces
Soil Conservation to Be Sressed Increased Opportunities
Given for Participation by Small Farmers; Folks Are
Awakening to Fact Waste Must Be Paid For.
81 BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg. Washington, D. G.

WASHINGTON.-A press release
has just come to my desk from the
Agricultural Adjustment administra-
ton. It outlines the farm program
for 1910. That is next year. The
statement from the AAA press bu-
reau announced that the 1910 farm
program was evolved at a three-day
conference of approximately 100
AAA farmer-committeemen and 9TH
ers interested" acting for all of the
millions of farmers. It explained
that the whole farm program is to
be broadened, but will quote the
opening paragraph, which is, Of
course, official:
Increased emphasis on soil con-
servation, increased opportunities
for participation by small farmers
and greater responsibility of admin
istration by the farmer committees
are included"
have watched the AAA officials
operate for five or six years. They
are still struggling for that more
abundant life and, therefore, ] have
observed the changes with some
curiosity. Also, there has been a
certain amount of humor in what
they have done-not humorous for
the farmers but for an onlooker
whose life savings and hopes were
not directly at stake. There never
has been a dull moment. Some
times, the antics have resembled
the movements of whirling der
wishes of the desert in their most
fervent moments of prayer; other
times have produced attitudes on
the part of the officials and their
underlings that strangely resembled
a mouse-colored and very stubborn
mule that my father once owned,
and then, again, there would be
forthcoming schemes so fantastic
that only person wearing the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy could
have read the words without turn
ing to Mr.. Webster's unabridged edi-
ton of the dictionary. They have
gone from the doctrine of scarcity
to the doctrine of some other ex-
treme and most things in between,
always requiring, however, that the
farmer must sign up a contract with
lot of dos and don't's.

Digitalis: Not "di- ji-TAL-iss."
The third syllable rhymes with bail,
