Accordingly MIR. Sawyer wrote
Mr.. Elliott, secretary of the

1t appears that questioning

the Department of Agriculture
under which the l. l. Board OPP

The section referred to is Num-

ment of Agriculture of the State
of Florida, shall be operative and
valid without witnesses to the
execution thereof, and such deeds

CLAUDE WICKARD'SAPURE DIRTFARMER
Makes Frequent Visits To Indiana Scene OF Training
EVEN WHEN HE'S WEARING CITY CLOTHES
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE. APP Feature Service Writer

He was associated with the
Farm Bureau and other organi-
cations. At "a he was adjudged
a Master Farmer" by a mid
western farm journal.
A pioneer in soil-building prac-
tees, he is an earnest advocate
of crop-production control as a
preventive of soil depletion and
farm-price slumps.
Resigned State Office
Wickard was elected state sem
ator in 1882, resigned from the
office to come to Washington in
1893.
One of his first activities here
was the organization of an unof-
fetal intra-departmental commit
tee to study problems of the un-
der-privileged farmer.
The committee meets weekly
to analyze the general agricul-
tural program from the stand
point of benefits to the small
farmer.
Wickard is not a polished
speaker He makes few prepared
addresses but does well in ex-
temporaneous talks to farm
groups.
Typical Wickardian appeal to
farmers:
Lets just use some good horse
sense even if we have a new rub
ber- tired tractor.
He married Louise Eckert of
LoganSport. Ind, in 1918, one of
the brides stipulations being in
staIlation of electricity in their
farm home.
Young Wickard bought a home
generating plant, did lots of tin
kering with it.
Now he's a candid camera en-
thuSiaSt, also likes hunting and
fishing. The Wickards have two
daughters. Betty, who was grad
uated from Purdue last spring,
and Ann, who will enter Purdue

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL
Even in his city clothes, Indiana's
chunky Claude r. Wickard
wouldn't be mistaken for book
farmer.
The new Secretary of Agricul-
ture, first simon-pure dirt farmer
to be given that position since
Iowa's ''Tama Jim" Wilson in
1897, looks, talks and walks like
a farmer.
The barrel-chested, 47-year-old
Hoosier has the big hands and
strong, stubby fingers of the soil
tiller. and he walks with the char
acteristic leg-lifting movement of
the plowman.
He has the farmers delibera-
ton in coming to a decision. Eel
low workers say WlcKard's mind
sits on an idea like a hen sits on
eggs.
Wickard succeeds Henry Wal
lace after six-and-a-half years of
administrative work in the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
His speciality is corn and hog
production control
In periodical trips to the Corn
Belt, he finds time to get into
overallS on his farm in Crawford
county. It's just 40 miles from
Wendell Wilkes home town of
Elwood.

The farm. now $50 acres. has
been in the family since the

corn. alfalfa, hogs and cattle. The

father of the new secretary were
named Andrew Jackson.

his father while he was attend
ing high school. Following grad
uation from Purdue university in

The national defense program,
long in preparation, rolled into
high gear on May 20, when Presi-
dent Roosevelt made his speech
outlining our defense needs in
the present emergency.
Two days later, the President
appointed National Defense
Advisory Commission to insure
that the defense program should
proceed with the utmost efficien-
cy. Since that time, the Presi-
dent, as Commander in Chief of
the Army and Navy, and the
Congress have been working on
legislation to increase our Army
to 100000, to provide material
for equipping an additional 800.-
600 men and to provide the ma
ton with a two-ocean Navy and
an airforce second to none.
What has been done?
In the three and one-half
months that have passed since
that time. over a quarter of the
$4,000. 100000 estimated 1871 de-
Tense appropriation has been
placed under contract.
Already manufacturers are at

As result of recent programs.
