FEDERAL FARM AID!
BASED ON CROP CUT
Government Wants Guaran
tee Before Consenting to
Further Experiments.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Out of the West has come the farm
problem In a new and perplexing form
—a demand for further Government
co-operation, which has been answered
by the Government with a demand for
more farmer co-operation.
The criticism, which has been made
of the Federal farm act, McNary-Hau
gepism and the export debenture plan
has had one common denominator —
namely, that any scheme for boosting i
the price of farm products, simply
would lead to more planting and con
tinued overproduction.
The Farm Board, through its chair
man, has endeavored to preach curtail
ment of acreage—an unpopular doc
trine, but one nevertheless that is re
spected in a period of falling prices.
Coincident with these preachments have
come suggestions that the Government
Itself begin to purchase the surplus
crop and hold it over a year or send it j
to China.
As long as there is a possibility of the I
Government finding a customer for a
large part or the surplus, officials here j
feel that efforts to persuade the farmer!
to curtail future production wiH be fu- \
tile.
New Viewpoint Forecast.
While reports from the West are that!
the farmers did not take kindly to sug- .
gestions of reduced acreage, it is believ- :
ed that when the co-operatives really!
understand that Government funds arp |
to be withheld next year if the warn- ]
ings are disregarded, there will be a
different point of view in the agricul
tural States, and some progress toward
limiting the size of next year's crop will
then be made.
Industry has learned the v importance
of adjusting supply to demand and Just
now the whole industrial scheme is suf
fering from a loss of equilibrium or bal
ance between consumption and produc
tion. but the process of adjustment is
going on without Government aid or
even exportatioivbecause organized busi
ness has learned the lesson.
What the Government now is trying i
to do is to impress on the farmers,
through their organizations, that if
agriculture Is to be on an equality with
industry, it will have to learn to con
trol production in order to get a
stabilized price. No matter what scheme ,
of farm relief* is proposed in the next
Congress as an alternative to the pres- ,
ent plan, some guarantee of controlled
production will be sought before the ,
administration will, ever consent to ,
further experiment in government aid. |
The crux of the present situation, ,
however, is politics. The Western Sen
ators up for re-election must be ad
vocating something besides laws of (
economies—they must be pleading for ,
proposals designed to lift up the prices ,
of farm products immediately. Every
body knows that Congress will not meet
again till December, hence the pressure
to have the administration, through the
Farm Board, spend another hundred
million dollars to stabilize the wheat
market.
But the administration is just as de
termined that the farmers shall organ
ize their co-operative effort to keep
production from rising so high as to
cause an even further glut and drop
in values. In other works, the SIOO,-
000,000 might be effective for a few
weeks, but when the stimulus had been
exhausted prices would be depressed
once more on account of the growing
surplus.
So that battle of words and theories
lias resolved itself into a.definite appeal
for more farmer co-operation before
even the present machinery of the
Farm Board will function as a stabili
eer of farm prices. Nor is this unex
pected, for the chairman of the Farm
Board. Alexander Legge. warned the
farm co-operatives a year ago that Gov
ernment funds were extended only on
the condition that production would
this year be reduced.

the Government service of Dr. Leonard

the National Museum, who has reached
the retirement age.
Dr. Stejneger is one of the foremost j
American biologists, author of many
scientific books and papers and a dis- |
tinguished biological explorer. He has
been with the National Museum since j
coming to the United States from his 1

Dr. Stejneger has been head curator

of scientific societies all over the world
and several of his works are standards

He was retained beyond the retire
ment age ‘‘by reason of expert knowl

WASHINGTON GIRLS IN NAVY HALL
IN MIDDY UNIFORMS CAUSE PROBE
-
Investigation at Naval Academy Results in Two Cadets
Being Imprisoned on Ship.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. July 18.—Two blond
■ Washington girls who, garbed as sec
-1 ond class men. were smuggled into the
! midshipmen's mess, have caused the
I imprisonment of their two escorts, the
probability of demotion for the captain
i of the table and possible punishment
1 for the whole table for failure to re- j
I port the prank to officials.
; While no official statement was forth
| coming today from academy officials,
i rumor in the town is spreading the tale
lof destruction which the two blonds
caused.
The imprisoned midshipmen, mem
bers of this year's second class, have
been stationed at the academy for the
Summer to study aviation.
Earlier Case Dropped.
About two weeks ago. in an effort to
break the monotony of an orthodox
Annapolis Summer, the daughter of a
Navy commander, on duty on the res
ervation. was smuggled into the mid
shipmen's mess in the garb of a second
class man.
She was discovered and later, at the
investigation, denied that any midship
man had participated in the prank, and
that she merely had committed the deed
in order to create a little excitement.
The case, because of the connection of
the girl's father at the academy, was
dropped, and again the academy be
came a normal place, disturbed only by
the hum of airplane motors.
But then came the blondes from!
Washington, daughters of prominent;
parents. Their mission was to visit j
two second classmen, and when the call
for mess rang through the corridors,
they, too, decided they would eat.
Hastily Acquire Uniforms.
There was a hasty search for equip
ment. The blonde hair was bound
tightly to the head. Blouses were
found and, naturally, trousers. The
trek to the mess hall began.
They sat down. They ate and they
were discovered.
Two of the youths, escorts of the
j voung women, now await word from
Admiral S. S. Robison. Their quarters
