Among expert collectors in
one field of antiques, men
outnumber women three to
one.
That's the ratio in the mem
bership of the National Asso-
citation Of Clock Collectors.
But whether men or women
buy more of the early Amer
lean clocks is a question few
could answer, because women
tend less to buy clocks in
quantity than to search for
the "one" clock that fits their
decorating scheme.
They'll find the searching
increasingly intense, according
to one of the Is Washington
area members of the 1900
member AACC.
Fewer Clocks
DR.. NARROW w. Olsen Of
Beltsville. who has gathered
100 clocks in 10 years of active
clock collecting, says that
fewer good American models
appear on the market each
year.
Nationally known as the
''father of the fatherless tur-
key" the highly publicized
experiment at the United
States Experimental Station
at Beltsville where he is an
-embryologist, DR.. Olsen travels
widely and engages in heavy
correspondence to discover
available clocks.
Many good American models
were destroyed by persons
enamored of newer fashions
over the years. Museums and
private collectors took more
out of circulation, he says.

now attract buyers and prices.
This is particularly true of
the double-steeple and other
shelf clocks.
Varied Collection
DR.. Olsen's own collection
displays samples of the great
period of clock-making.
Several models have wooden
works, but DR.. Olsen points
out that these works, made in
America between 1912 and
1910, we're the result of the
British choking-off of brass
supplies during the period.
Metal works show the inge-
nuity of American clock
makers, who tried wagon

reduced somewhat"
Whether the plan would help the
smaller family operator was also be-
ing questioned in Washington. Could the
little fellow underplant allotments and
stay in business? The answer to that
one said observers, will depend on
whether the value of certificates is
equal to the net profit a grower would
make on allotted acreage taken out of
production.
Another answer (and it is being taken
into account by Officials) is that the
small operator could go out of business.
That is, idle his land, take his pay

Farm leaders, at press time, were
chary with their comments until
details of the plan are known. Prob
ably the most skepticism was being
expressed over the problem of what

would do to open market prices, If
growers took over government
stocks for resale the effect would
be to depress market prices, one

could sell the stocks for there would

FARM BUREAU PLANS

At its recent annual convention
in Chicago the Farm Bureau, be-
sides approving a soil bank, re-
elected Charles b. Shuman as pres
ident of the organization for two
more years. Shuman made it clear
that the Bureaus backing of soil
bank in no way changes the Bu-
reau's strong stand in favor of flex-
ible price supports.
A program aimed at seven broad
goals was outlined by Shuman as fol-
lows:
I'd Orderly shrinkage in the agri-
cultural production plant to balance
farm production with demand" 20
Elimination of price fixing of agricul-
tural products" 80 elimination of

commodities 4. by stopping the flow
into the surplus stockpile and contin-
uing present surplus disposal pro-

pand sales Of farm products in this

PORK PROBLEMS

Competition for beef from cheap
pork will continue to be stiff. Start
ing in about February, officials pre-
dicted hog prices would weaken
again following some seasonal pick
up in the previous couple of months.
Reason for continued trouble for hog
producers-and cheap pork-would be
the whopping pig crop of last fall, that
averaged II per cent above that of the
year before.
There was some sign, meantime, that
hog prices will firm up somewhat when
spring pigs go to market. A wintertime
survey of hog growers intentions point
ed to crop this spring approximately
2 per cent below last year.
Agriculture Secretary Benson calls
this encouraging, but asks hog grow
ers to cut back still more if they want
to Strengthen their market to any
significant degree.
To date, the department has bought
about one-half of the 40 million pounds
of pork Benson pledged to buy under a
government purchase program. Whether
the buying has helped hog prices is a
question Mr. Benson and his aides now
say, Yes. Others believe not.
Fact is that nobody can tell for sure
since there is no way of knowing what
the situation would be if there were no
government buying program.

Keeping in Touch With Washington
Pay for Underplanting
Nav Be Cash or Grain

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Will Congress
''buy'' the Acknowledgements pro-
gram to pay ranchers and farmers in
surplus stocks for underplanting allot-
ments? Could be, say insiders here. The
idea-newest to come out of the PreSi-
dent S recent farm message to Congress
looks to have political O0mph.
Details of the plan are still not
clear, but its purpose is to accom-
pliSh two goals at once: Reduction
of future production as well as pres
ent SURPRISES. Generally speaking,
it would work like this:
A. Montana wheat grower could UNI
derplant his allotment and receive a
certificate from the government for so
doing. Total value of the certificate
would depend on how much his allot-
ment was underplanted. He could then
do one of two things with the certifi-
cate: Cash it in or exchange it for an
amount of wheat in CCC government
stocks approximately equal to what he
might have grown on allotted acreage
not planted.
1t is probably more than coincidence
that the Farm Bureau, which has
worked closely with Administration
farm leaders, suggested the certificate
idea before it was proposed by the
Administration. The Bureau ties the
certificate plan to its soil bank proposal
and outlines it this way:
Producers of controlled crops would
be encouraged ito underplant their al
lOtments by (a) offering them full pro-
lection for their base (planting) his
tories for a period of years, and (b)
allowing them to buy surplus govern
ment stocks equal to the normal pro-
duction of the underplanted acreage at
prices which will encourage adequate
participation. These commodities would
not be eligible for further price supports
QOanS), but purchasers could sell them
in the open market.
Rights of tenants the Bureau goes
on, would have to be protected under
any legislation developed And acres
placed in the soil bank would be
diverted to soil building crops or prac-
tees without additional compensation
other than agricultural conservation
payments. -
This Bureau plan, in essence, is also
the Administrations. The Presidents
farm program also seeks some $3.50
million in addition to the present $3.50
million annual ACP program for con-
servatiOn payments. At least part of
this extra ACP money would be spent
to encourage growers who underplant
allotments, in return for certificates. to
put the retired acres to conservation
use. The certificate plan would apply
not only to wheat, but to corn, cotton
and rice.

Last night Lemon bamboozled
the Yankees again. setting them
down on three hits for 80 VIC

Yankee batter, poked a leadofi
homer in the ninth to hoist the
Indians into the American
League lead. The Yanks had
been on top since May 8.
1t was the lone game of the
day in the majors and the In

has lost four of the last six. The
Indians haven't had it this good
since last September l5-the day

from the lead and New York
took over to win the pennant.
