Chester C. Davis, the agricultural adjustment administrator, In a versatlon I had him the with Relief other day, uttered an observation which seemed to be decidedly worthwhile and one which, because of the assurance and contents, ought to be repeated here. My conversation with Mr. Davis had to do with questions concerning drouth relief and I want to quote his remarks because of the widespread destruction of the current period when rainfall has been nil In so many communities. It is as unsafe and unjust to measure the true potentialities of this country, Mr. Davis said, by the extreme drouth conditions of this year as It was to measure them by the bumper crop years which happened to coincide with high prices so that everybody felt sudden riches were in sight. The one extreme la Just as deceptive as the other." Mr. Davis outlined what the government was attempting to do since its policy has been changed and since Individuals no longer are required to fend for themselves. lie declared the changes In policy that have been taken represent a frank recognition of responsibility by the present leadership, and it was his conviction that more has been done In the face of similar conditions than has ever been done before to relieve human distress. lie added that It had been found difficult, of course, to meet and solve many of the problems and that there Is not sufficient prowess even In our national government to counteract all the effects of such a calamity. The administrator holds to the belief, however, that the steps tsken by the administration constitute the beginnings of a national program from which apparently It Is eventually to develop national policies for dealing with all kinds of distress. Obviously, Mr. Davis did not touch on these phases because his Job Is to deal with agricultural situations and he has not gone beyond them. Cnlilng attention to the fact that the drouth relief program Is the greatest ever undertaken In this or any other country, Mr. Davis summarized the Joint activity of the several government agencies In the following language: The purchase of surplus cattle, with the processing of meat for relief distribution; encouragement of production of forage crops; of seed purchase; human employment relief; purchase of adapted feed grain; forestation and other measures to conserve molsfure, prevent wind erosion nnd minimize the effects of future drouth, and In addition such crop benefit payments as have been made and which now turn out to be In his opinion crop Insurance. po-pose- d Mr. Davis Is optimistic concerning the future of the can farmer, dos-Optimistic pite the hnrd- aa to Future ships of the current drouth. He suggested, however, that It was necessary to face the facts of the current drouth, but a'so, to resort to the language of the street, the thinks the country must not allow the current problems to knock It down. If the doubts and fears lately expressed had been heeded, Mr. Davis added, the great plains neve.r would have been settled. The trou-tde- s of today are but repetitions on a less fearful scale of the obstacles encountered by the early settlors Hut Instead of turning back In the face of hardships, those pioneers established their homes and did not let drouth, flood, linll, or Indians stop them. "Instead, the pioneers and their sons searched the world for t wheat and grains which would mature In season. They bred np the drouth resUtnnt forage crops and planted them. They built a civilization on an expanse of the map which once was labeled the Great American desert. The drouths we have lived through In the pa-- dhl not conquer the spirit nor stop the development of the West The drouth of 1934 will not stop the men of the West In their forward march to conquer nature." The thing about the remarks which Mr. Dals uttered that appealed to me nnd to numerous other Washington observers was the candor with which he treated the problems. He made no attempt In this conversation nor has he done so In several speeches he has made lately to use language that was hys terlcal. For an example of what 1 monn, dispatches renting from Ires Mont Roosevelts train on his homeward trip across the northern half of this country gnvc various figures as to the loss occasioned bv the One of these dispatches drouth. credited an emergency relief official with the statement that the drouth bad cost the fanners (he billion dollars. Another dispatch p'ncod the figure somewhat lower ami give no authoilty for the estimate. Put the point Is that while Mr. Davis recognizes the desperation of the drouth-resistan- At. I -- ?; five-sixth- It now seems certain that when the congress returns to Washington next January Will Ask It will be called More Funds uPn immediately by the administration to vote more funds for relief of the drouth victims. Until later, however, the extent to which the administration will seek to go In this direction cannot be foretold. It is evident that having seen the circumstances first hand, Mr. Roosevelts entire sympathy will be behind whatever proposal he makes. Observers here, however, foresee some dangers as a result of the present desperate conditions. They know that Mr. Roosevelt will, as he has frequently stated, go to the limit with federal funds, but the danger foreseen by astute observers here Is that some of the members of the house and senate will attempt to go beyond all reason In preparation of relief plans during next winter. It is not unusual, as the records show, that on every occasion when the federal treasury doors are opened senators or representatives will come forward with scores of plans under the guise of human relief to get their hands on government money for their constituents. It Is fair to say that some of these will be sincere. It Is equally fair to sav that, as In the past, some of them will have The conversamisguided. tions one hears around Washington been therefore Indicate that those charged with government responsibility must be on their guard If vast sums are not to be wasted under the guise of extending relief to needy victims of natures pranks this year. Some of the brain trusters already have developed far flung plans for the physical transfer of thousands of farm families from the drouth stricken districts Into other areas where they can get While generally started again. speaking I believe sentiment In the government favors doing anything that will afford relief next winter, a good many of the higher authorities In the administration point out that the scheme of transposition of whole families and their belongings presents grave problems. There wms a cartoon In one of the eastern metropolitan newspapers that depict- Price ed Uncle Sam Situation begging a small boy labeled Trices" to grow up so that he could reach his height of 1936. Resides It was another caricature which showed Uncle Sara warning the same boy to stop growing and announcing that If he, the prices of food, grows too much, I will crack down." I refer to this cartoon because most Washington observers see the price situation In this country to be qulle confusing. It Is to be recalled that throughout last year and early In 1934 the administration predicated all of Its actions on a desire to raise prices. Now, however, the effect of the prolonged drouth In the agricultural arens Is being felt In the cities and President Roosevelt announced his fear that profiteering In food prices Is likely to result and made known that the administration has definite plans to cutb any undue rise In Thus far It has not been prices. made clear what Is considered an undue price rise under present conditions but the President stated w ith emphasis In a press conference that he would not permit profiteering to take place In the" coming fall nnd winter because, he Indicted, he thought the price In creases would be unjustified. The President and Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Ag rleulture, are working hand In hand In the development of machinery which they Intend to use to protect consumers from profiteering. Mr. Roosevelt asserted he had plen ty of power with which to do this job. Mr. Wallace, speaking later, said the first check that would be placed on an undue rise In prices would be closer supervision of the grain mnikets. Any Indications of manipulation In those mnikets will he alt with summarily, accord Ing to Mr, Wallace. The circumstances surrounding prUe questions, however, have caused many observers to ask for further exposition of the administration's polities In this regard. As far ns I have been able to learn, none of Ihe administration spokesmen me willing nt this time to go beyond the threat to trails down If there Is profiteering. W relsrn Nist uprr Vnloo IDA.

A last will and testament drawn 18 years before the outbreak of the Revolutionary war but still legible, was uncovered among the heirlooms of Emerson Andrew here. The parchment document penned and sealed on August 6, 1757, by Samuel Davlss at Massachusetts Bay, Is now more than 177 years old. Davlss bequeathed his borne property, a horse and cattle to his wife. He gave each of three daughters a share in other land holdings and stock. To one surviving son he left 25 pounds of and to a "lawful silver money, kinsman left 20 pounds providing he behaved well. Big. Tarpon Leaps Into Boat in Lap of Angler Dayton Beach, Fla. And then, In an emergency you could use your lap to qatch a tarpon. Mrs. Bob Pacetti, a recent bride, relates how she was with a party fishing from a small boat at the Ponce de Leon Inlet. She hooked a tarpon, which leaped over the end of the boat and landed squarely In her lap. With the aid of companions, she quickly pinned It down. e The plan Is a modification of one devised Roosevelt by President himself, and In which no provisoin was made for the Intervening areas between the parallel strips of trees. The modification, suggested by the forest sen ice, Is calculated to prevent more effectively further wasting away of rich agricultural lands through erosion by wind and rain and to alleviate the extremely high temperatures accompanying lack of precipitation. Each of the hundred windbreaks will be about seveu rods wide, covering 14 acres out of each square mile, Russia Trying It. Although forestry officials were originally of the opinion that the project would be the largest of Its kind ever undertaken, recent research disclosed that a similar undertaking Involving 100, 000, 000 acres has been under way for some time In Russia.
