Drouth Drastic Chaiige In -Wheat Plans Expected Wheat Surplus Disappears When Drouth and Pests Reduce Crop; Every Bushel Needed For Home Demand By WILLIAM A. BELL, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1934, by United Press) WASHINGTON, June 2 (U.R) Ravages of drought, dust storms, and insect pests today suggested reversal of the government's wheat export policy and reduction in the wheat processing tax. ' Less than two months ago agricultural experts were seeking new methods of shipping wheat abroad to relieve surplus pressure. There-was even talk of petitioning for an increase in the 90,000,000-bushel quota allowed the United States by the international wheat agreement. To Reduce Levy ' Now, however, existing machm- a- ery for subsidized exports may be permitted to idle, an informed of' ficial indicated. Whereas an increase in the wheat processing tax 'appeared likely in early April, it now seems that the levy will be- reduced. The spread between existing and parity par-ity prices has lessened materially. With the record drought unabated un-abated and no relief in sight, almost al-most every bushel of wheat grown will be required to meet home demand. de-mand. Virtually no exports during dur-ing the marketing year beginning a month hence were contemplated. contemplat-ed. However it was not thought that imports would be necessary. Price Above Export On April 1 the crop situation gave promise of a 150,000,000 bushel exportable surplus. A little lit-tle later Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace said 80,000,000 Funds Allot ed For Drouth Aid WASHINGTON, June 1 (U.RI- Expressing grave concern con-cern over the increasing Intensity In-tensity of the mldwejtern drought, itelief Administra- tor Harry L.

Hopkins said he expected' additional funds would be necessary. bushels. No officials estimated at the outside 25,000,000 bushels available for export. The domestic price was on April 1 and still is, way above an export ex-port basis. Experts said it probably prob-ably would maintain this relationship rela-tionship through the coming marketing year. The changing wheat picture is demonstrated by these facts: April 1 the agriculture department depart-ment predicted that nearly 492,-000,000 492,-000,000 bushels o winter wheat would be harvested. As drought and hot wind burned 1,000,000 bushels bu-shels daily from the dry soil, the estimate dropped to 461.000,000 bushels May 10, and has since in formally been revised to 440,000.- 000 bushels. Officials look for a spring wheat crop of only 120,-000,000 120,-000,000 or 125,000,000 bushels, and a total crop of about 565,-000,000 565,-000,000 rabout equal to domestic demand. A carryover of 260,000,-000 260,000,-000 bushels will bedrawn upon. ASSAULT CASE IS DISMISSED "A man's home is. his castle and he has a right to protect it and his property," Judge D. R.

Jacques was acused of assault with a deadly weapon with intent in-tent to do bodily harm against Fred Warner, a neighbor after a fight in Jacques' cabin. Jacques brought the first complaint, accusing-Mr and Mrs. Warner of disturbing dis-turbing the peace and. battery. On the basis of his own testimony in the case, however, a new complaint com-plaint was filed against Jacques. Jacques declared the Warners had entered his house in an intoxicated in-toxicated condition and that Warner had attacked him. In self-defense, self-defense, he testified, he reached for a gun and struck Warner over the head. Several prominent Provo citizens citi-zens appeared in court Saturday to testify regarding the excellent" excel-lent" character and reputation of Mr. Jacques. RED CROSS BROADCAST Edwin H."

Larson Lar-son in the injunction suit brought by Mrs. Myrtle F. Christensen of Orem against August Nielson and others, which was ruled upon Saturday. The injunction which was filed to stop Nielson from making or maintaining a ditch on the roadside road-side in front of the Christensen property, is the-final action in a quarrel that dates back more than a year ago. Ordinance Held Valid The original court action was brought in the name of Orem town and was based upon the premise that Nielson had not ob- r aed a-jernxitfrom he-town to build the ditch The city court dismissed hts'suit on the grounds that the ordinance of the town Was unconstitutional. Later in the Fourth district court Judge Larson held thaKthe ordinance was valid but because of the status of the case Nielson could not bebrought to .trial, only the constitutionality ofXthe ordinance ord-inance being'at issue. Four nice questions' were brought before the court in the final case which bear particularly particular-ly on the question of trespass. Judge Larson held that a ditch either on or off the highway is not a nuisance, either public or private and that maintaining a ditch for irrigation purposes is a lawful activity of a public nature such that eminent domain can even be used to obtain rights of way. The judge also held that the making of a ditch along but not upon the property of another is not an act of trespass. Elks' Good-Will Messengers Feted Ralph Jones.
