Benson Backs Wheat Controls
But Corn Quotas Are Doubtful
Legof LoophoIe
Moy Avert Curbs
Despite Big Crop
BY the Associutsd Press

A loophole in farm legislation
may lead Agriculture Secretary
Benson to announce that mar
keting quotas will not be invoked
on the 1854 corn crop even
though big supplies might war
rant them.
Unlike other crops subject to
controls. the law fails to provide
a penalty for farmers who over
sell corn quotas. Hence, quotas
in themselves would be without
effect in restricting production.
sale or use of this grain.
Department lawyers said con-
gressional committees had indi-
Gated their intention Of pro-
viding penalties, but the proper
legislation was not passed.
Under quotas voted on the
1854 wheat crop by farmers
Friday, sales of this grain in
excess of a farms quota would
be subject to a penalty tax of
about $1.10 q bushel. or more
than half the courrent price OF
the grain.
Falls Short of Level.
AS for corn, a department
forecast this week of a $780,
forecast this week of a 1880
million bushel crop raised the
crop. Mr.. Benson said at the
time that quotas might be neces-
sary under the law. subject, Of
course, to approval by two-thirds
of the growers voting in ref
erendum.
Later, department officials did
some calculating and concluded
that the prospective supply this
year was slightly below a level
which. under law. would require
the Secretary to propose quotas.
They suggested that the Sec
retary take advantage of the sit
uation and announce now that
there will be no sales restrictions.
Tney pointed out that if he
waited longer-the law gives him
until November Is. to decide
crop prospects might improve
sufficiently to force him to in
yoke quotas which he could not
enforce.
Effort Fails in Congress.
Last-minute but vain efforts
were made in the closing hours
Of the recent session of Congress
to get through legislation which
would have postponed the corr
quota decision until next Febru-
ary. The idea was to give the
returning Congress a chance tt
plug the corn penalty loophole
prior to a referendum.
Quotas have never been in
voked on corn, and farm leaders
have exposed the opinion farm
ers would disapprove them should
they be proposed.

Huge 0utIays Planned
In County For Repairs

Noble county home owners
will spend an estimated $297, 900
during 1853 on repairing and
modernizing non-farm dwellings,
according to a report just releas-
ed by the Tile Council of
America.
LAS the great postwar home
building boom begins to slacken,
home repair and reconditioning
will assume major Importance to
the building trades in every
community" said Robert Bailey,
chairman of the Councils resi-
dental construction committee.
Nearly two of every three
home owners here will make
some expenditure during the
year to improve their property,
according to the report. Paint
ing of either the exterior or in
terror will be the most common
repair, with replacing or re-
pairing heating equipment
second and work on roofs third.
One of every II homes in the
u. S. has water pipes repaired,
a bathroom tiled or a shower
installed in an average year, the
report revealed. Six of every
100 have carpentry work done.
The kitchen is the area most
families want to improve first.
The resulting demand for new
equipment, clay tile for counter
tops and drainboards, and kit
chen cabinets means prosperity
in the community for many con-
Germs and for skilled workmen,
the report points out.

item, even Io0d.
The data is contained in the
current, copyrighted survey
of Sales Management, cover
ing al 46 states.
Noble county chalked up a
sales volume in the year of
$1,029,000 in. stores selling new
and used cars and trucks, tires,
batteries and other automotive
equipment, including farm ma
chinery, motorcycles and boats.
In all, it was equivalent TO Is
cents out of every dollar spent
in local retail stores in the year,
and was more than was spent
proportionately elsewhere in the
country, where the average was
II cents. In the East North Cen
trail States, also II cents of the
dollar went for automotive pur-
chases.
Big spending for automotive
equipment is normally an index
of good times and a high stand
ard of living. With families earn
ing more, as was the case in
Noble county last year, more
was spent on luxury items.
Retail activity generally was
at a high level in Noble county
during the year, with the local
stores compiling the tidy sales
volume of $5,815,0O0. 1t marked
gain over the $5,739,000 of the
previous year.
The activity carried over into
the other classes of retail bust
ness covered by the survey.
Local stores selling food, another
important index, accounted for
$998,000 of the volume, better
ing the previous years record,
$965,00 They garnered II cents
of each retail dollar.
Places selling general mer-
chandise, including variety and
department stores, had sales of
$832,000 in the year, amounting
to another IA cents.
The stores dealing in furni-
ture, household supplies and
radio equipment did business to
the tune of $4,000, equal to 3
cents of the dollar.
Drug store operations came to
$4,000, representing an ad-
ditional one cent.

Philadelphia has played the

Robin Roberts, who holds the
highest number of victories with
a 1875 record. The Phils have
played 10 games, or seven less
than half their scheduled total.

lowed by Billy Pierce of Chicago,
