This Increase In yields mt man tnur of work range from 14 times in the case of some farm products down to 21a times. Rut the last figure Is the minimum ti.ii. -u fin. iroln : All sorts of promises were made. Canada was to stagger her shipments to the United Sfntes, so that Canadian lumber would not be dumped up to the full quota allowance during any one period Lumber was to be give more consideration In various other treaties which are on the fire. Rig efforts will he made by the State department to open up new markets for Amerlcnn lumber, Some of the lumber men have been pretty well taken Into camp as a result. They promise to smooth down their senators nnd representative on Capitol II 111, They even promise kind words for the administration. But some of the promises made are not so easy of fulfillment. The trouble Ilea In that "moat favored nation", clause, which Is dear to Secretary Hull's heart. To Illustrate, this conn-trmight Induce some country anxious to buy a lot of lumber to reduce Its tariff, and thus open up a new market for the American lumber Interesta Rut the moment that nation did that She would also be reducing the tariff to precisely the same degree to every other nation. Which would mean that ftinnda would have the same opportunity, on an equal basis, and probably So without any quota restriction. the net result would be the same as If Canada shinned that lumber Into the United States. Mr. Hull, It la learned, hojes to wiggle out of this problem by more though admittedly quota Juggling, quotas run contrary to the spirit of the "most favored nation" clause. Union Hour on Farm Union hours for farm hands Is the latest farm relief suggestion. Sounds weird to men who were boys on farms, and crar.ler still to farmers at first blush. Rut there is a real Idea behind It. and you may be hearing a lot about It before election day. For although the suggestion Is now being weighed In the secret deliberae tions of certain Department of officials. It may Just possibly be the Republican farm plankthnt long sought substitute for AAA farm benefits and processing taxes. Of course there would be nothing like the Adamson eight hour act for railroad workers, or even the minimum wage laws of certain states It would have to be approached with far more delicacy. For Instance, there would have to be nothing compulsory about It at all. and no effort could be made to apply It to farmers owning and cultivating their own acres The Ides would be to put It In the form of a bonus paid to each farmer for every hlr?l hand regularly employed throughout the year who was not made to work more than a given number of hours per day. on the average a liberal bonus which would make the thing attractive. Every one concedes the need for something of the sort Farmers and farm hands are still working absurd ly long hours for this day and generation.
