in st. zacharie, Canada, and sur
rounding communities to cut timber
in Maine woods to alleviate labor
shortage and help the war effort
the Boston Herald said today.
Staff Reporter Arthur Stratton

Of complaints of Maine timber pro-
ducers that Canada had greatly
limited the number of woodsmen
allowed to cross the border, quoted
Mayor Edouard Grouleau of st
Zacharie as saying:
I'VE can get 500 in five hours who
want to go across and work, but are
refused permits by Ottawa They
are farmers and farmers sons and
other men who have nothing to dc
on their own farms these months
They would not be taken from any
work"
The Herald said an offer had come
from Leopold Dumas OF St. Come, a
representative OF the Great Northern
Paper Co. to obtain 1000 men II
the Canadian government would lift
emigration restrictions
The Canadian government has re-
stricted to about $500 the number

WFA TO Pay Farmers
Over S290,o00,000 10
Increase Crop Output
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
f. The War Food Administration
today announced details of a
1914 soil conservation program
under which upward of 1920 ,OO0.- :
600 will be distributed among
farmers who employ agricultural
cultivating practices designed to
increase output of needed crops.
Those practices emphasize the
application of fertilizers and other
materials. the planting of winter
cover crops designed to protect the
soil from erosion, the harvesting of
legume and grass seeds of which
there is a shortage, and the use of
measures for controlling water and
preventing wind blowing of soil.
The Government has been max
ing payments for soil conservation
practices since 1886, but the amount
offered this year is the largest ever
set aside for such purposes. Last
year soil conservation payments
totaled about sl94 ,000, 900.
Payments for Compliance.
However, the soil conservation
payments have been supplemented
by other payments for farmer COM
pliance, with planting allotments
for such crops as cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco, rice and peanuts.
The latter payments were asso-
ciated with production control
measures.
Inasmuch as the 1914 food pro-
duction goal calls for the largest
possible acreage of food crops, the
planting allotments-eXcept in the
case of tobacco-have been elimi-
mated. and so have the allotment
payments.
Under the 1914 program, each
State will set up its own soil con-
servation practice program from a
list of practices recommended by
the VIA Each farmer wishing to
receive benefits will work out a
program with the aid of local Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration
Committees.
No Check-up on Farmers.
In most cases. officials said, the
payments will cover large part Of
the cost of the practices carried out
by the farmer. In some areas, the
payments will be in the form Of
limestone and phosphates for allo-
cation to soils needing such ele-
mentS
Farmers will be asked to make
their own reports Of whether they
complied with the practices they
agreed to carry out. Payments will
be made on the basis of their re-
ports. Officials said that in view of
the manpower shortage and ex-
penses, the VIA would not send
agents around to ascertain whether
farmers complied.

of court and held in Jail overnight.
Scores of persons were injured In

Senate S Conierees
On Soldier Voting
Present Problem

The Senate controversy over
the soldier voting issue may flare
up briefly again today over the
selection of conferees to meet
with a House group on the
conflicting views of the two
branches.
The question that may touch of
more oratory In the Senate is
whether the Senate appointees to
the conference delegation should be
chosen from the Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee on the seniority
rule, or from the subcommittee that
drafted the ,Green-Lucas Federal
ballot bill
the House named its five conferees
yesterday without difficulty, follow
ing the seniority rule. and they
stand 3 to 2 for the State control
plan of voting which the House
adopted.
The main issue in conference will
be the modified version of the
Green-Lucas Federal ballot plan,
which was added to the State con-
troll bill in the Senate. but II the
Senate conferees are chosen on the
seniority basis, the State rights side
also would be in the ma jority among
Senate conferees.
Administration forces are report
ed to be considering a request that
the subcommittee that drafted the
Green-Lucas bill represent the
Senate in conference. This sub
committee favors the Federal ballot
plan. II this motion is made, it
is expected to encounter opposition
from the States rights group.
Ordinarily, appointment OF con-
ferees is routine step, usually taken
by unanimous consent on recon-
mendation OF the chairman of the
committee in charge of bill, If a
dispute arises on the floor, however,
a Senate vote may be necessary to
name the conferees Regardless Of
who the conferees are, however
the real test will come when the
House is asked to vote again on
the Senate's Federal ballot pro-
pOSal.
