PROBLEMS OF 1937 PROGRAM SET OUT IN QUESTION FORM the series of community meetings now under way in Utah County, fanners will have the opportunity to discuss fully the important questions arising in connection with planning the 1937 ProAgricultural Conservation gram, According to S.

Boswell, the following questions will be inIn cluded ions: in the community zzt m RATES ON APPLICATION. discuss- What progress has been made in conservation in the county under the 1935 Agricultural Conservation Program? What practices should be recommended as most valuable from the agricultural conservation standpoint? In 1937 should a greater portion of the payments be made for soilbuilding practices than in 1936? Should a maximum total conservation allowance be established for each farm or ranch? If such an allowance were established how should it be earned ? Should the insurance features contained in the present program be enlarged. We hope that every farmer and stockman who can possibly do so will attend the local meetings, George E. Farrell, in charge of the agricultural conservation program in the western region, stated recently. The community meetings will be followed by a county meeting at which the recommendations for the county will be drawn and forwarded by the county committee to the state agricultural conservation committee, which will present the state recommendations at Pocatello, Idaho, October 14. Full discussion by farmers attending the community meetings will assist the county committee in formulating recommendations that will meet special problems in the dounty so far as these can be fitted into the frame-wor- k of a nation-wid- e conservaagricultural tion program. soil crop-inco- With Not Scarcity; Premises Drouth Aid.

For certain vegetables, the dry atmosphere of the attic is the best storage place. The root crops, particularly carrots, turnips, parsnips, beets, and oyster plant or salsify, will store perfectly for use for many months. Potatoes and sweetpotatoes are vegetables among the valuable that may be stored until late in the winter. A cool well ventilated cellar under the dwelling offers good conditions for storing many vegetables if it does not contain a furnace. Sometimes a storage room can be partitioned off from the rest of the cellar and provided with openings for ventilation. Natural earth makes a better floor than concrete or brick, as a certain amount of moisture is desirable. Caves and cellars built separate from the house possess most of the advantages of a storage room in the basement and are superior in some respects. They are easier to fill, and a uniform temperature can be maintained over a longer period. They must be sufficiently insulated so that the vegetables will not freeze. Ventilation is Sometimes banks or necessary. pits in a place will answer all needs. Late beets with the tops off can be stored in ventilated barrels, loose boxes, or crates in the cellar. In a pit they are put in a pile, covered- with leaves, straw, hay or similar material, and then with a covering of soil 2 or 3 inches thick, which i3 increased as the cold becomes more severe. Carrots are stored in the same way. White potatoes must be more carefully protected from freezing than carrots, which can take a little frost without injury. It is a good plan to have a small quantity of carrots in the storage room in the basement and put the rest in banks or pits. 348, COO bu. 1935 well-drain- ed - (Under Roosevelt reciprocal trade and scarcity policies) i SEATTLE, Wash. Most of the Argentine corn, which !s rapidly restealing the American farmers home market since Roosevelt crop duction programs began to take their toll, is unloaded on the Pacific coast. That shown here Is being put ashore from the S. S. Colombo, under charter to a Chicago grain company. Other steamers are dumping 20 million pounds a week at Los Angeles. Argentine Corn Floods Docks on Pacific Coast Corn from the Argentine, at the rate of 20 million pounds a week, is coming into Los Angeles harbor, Tom Erwin, former president of the Los Angeles County farm bureau, said here. Twenty tramp steamers are now under charter to bring 150,000 tons of Argentine corn to San Pedro in the next three months, bringing the total since Jan. 1, 1935, to 10,714,-28- 6 bushels, Mr. Erwin said "At the current price of Argentine corn delivered at the Harbor, this represents a loss to Americans producing and handling corn of he said. "A Greek tramp steamer, the Mount Cynthos, last week unloaded 7,200 tons of corn from the Argentine at the Harbor. The 257,155 bushels In this one shipment would have required 10,791 acres of American farm land to produce and would have given employment to 259 persons. The total amount of South American corn which has bee imported or bought for delivery Jnce the beginning of this movement would have put 449,609 acres of land in cultivation in this country and would have employed 24,708 people on the farms." With Mr. Roosevelts crop curtailment in effect, imports of corn last year were 123 times as large as In 1932.

Roosevelt administration to frighten small store keepers from showing cards calling attention to the amount of invisible tax items concealed in the cost of nearly everything the average family needs is an indication that the question of taxation and waste is of paramount importance in this campaign. This statement was made by Chairman John Hamilton of the Republican National committee, who asked Attorney General Cummings what he intended to do to Gov. Landon because he said in his Buffalo speech: We cannot buy a stitch of clothing without the governments taking in taxes a part of the money we pay out We cannot buy an ounce of food at our grocery stores without being taxed to support the government. We cannot go to a movie, or to a baseball game, or ride in an automobile without this invisible tax arm of the government reaching out and taking a part of the money we spend. These hidden taxes federal state and local amount to about 20 cents out of every dollar we spend. In the case of the Federal Government alone they amount to more than $5 a month for every family.

By this I mean that those who have carried out their end of the bargain will receive the checks due them. Those of our farmers hard hit by the drouth will be generously provided for until they can raise a crop. This means the continuation of relief checks! Would Offset Foreign Competition. Farmers producing a normally exportable surplus of such staple products as hogs, wheat, cotton and tobacco are handicapped by tariff protections which are effective only when there is a shortage. Gov. Lan don said. The Republican party, declared Gov. Landon, proposes to offset these disadvantages by the payment of cash benefits. These cash benefits will be limited to the production level of the family type farm. As part of the plan for removing the depression effect of surpluses I shall propose an amendment to the federal warehousing act so that reserves of feed, such as corn, can be carried on the farm. Under this amendment the farmer who stores his grain on the farm, in such a way as to make it insurable, will be entitled to a federal warehouse receipt He will then be eligible to borrow from any banking agency. He will enjoy the same credit facilities as are available to the owners of grain stored in terminal markets. The grain would be stored on the farm, ready for use or sale at any time the farmer cares to take up the loan." Suggests Crop Insurance. Gov. Landon then took up the matter of crop insurance, upon which Kansas Republican farm leaders have been working for some We realize that there are time. difficulties, he said. But insurance companies are writing policies today covering risks that they did not consider feasible a few years ago. Here Gov. Landon declared that he could not agree with a policy like that of the AAA, which attempts permanent control of American agriculture from Washington. I cannot agree with the President," he said.
