He revealed that a better a g r i cultural program than the one the farmers now have is being The AAA sought authorizes payments to farmers for reducing acreages in the basic crops of wheat, corn, cotton, rice, tobacco and peanuts Farmers from the Noith and Northwest have consistently opposed fediial subsidies, and senti-ni- i nt was repoited to be growing among the piodiueis for letting faim products seek their own price level as a peimanent policy In the South, however, cotton and tobacco growers are known to be satisfied with the situation as it' stands, favoring tight controls if pi ices start to slip One of the federations economists piodicted at least a pei lod of ond prices for farmers at levels slightly below those prevail- - i i - I dont know how interested you The succ ess of Rochester, N Y , readers have been in my reports of in providing hving soace has what American ingenuity in differ- brought in an impressive list of ent communities has done to make queues from other brick (and other building mateiial which haven't yet solvedcommunities their housfor veterans homes) without the ing ptoblems Chambers of straw (of readily available materiin Bristol.

Despite a late spring and some frost damage in eastern fruit areas, prospects continue generally favorable for this year's crop of apples and other deciduous fruits, a department of agriculture report has disclosed. The 1947 strawberry crop is estimated to be nearly a fourth larger than the 1946 crop, but still a tenth below average. However, the peach crop in 10 early southern states is expected to set a new record ol more than 25 million bushels this year, the third successive large crop from those states. In California, the sweet cherry crop of 29,000 tons is 15 per cent smaller than last year, but still 16 per cent larger than the 1938-4- 4 avplum erage. Californias 92,000-to- n crop is slightly below 1946 TRAINING: E5 - l ELLIOTT DECORATED BY FRENCH . . .

Hearings Regin Although congress is scheduled tc adjourn July 23, the senate armed services committee has voted to proceed with hearings on universal military training. But in a formal statement the committee added that if a report cannot be made ready by July 28, it will attempt to have a report prepared for congress when it convenes again. Decision of the senate group was reached as the Very Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, a member of President Trumans universal military traintold a house committee that the pohtburo m Moscow is not going to adjourn for the ing commission, Congress has been presented with four plans to think over until it gets ready to have another go at the income tax problem. The treasury department has given the house ways and means studies of four plans to equalize federal income taxes on married couples in all 48 states. One of the proposals would save 4,900.000 couples of a billion dollars annually by giving those living in 38 states the same income splitting rights now enjoyed by couples living in 10 states which have community property laws. e com-mittf- , But I can tell perous land of ours you that a lot of people who thought they could go and do likewise were heard from. Yakima, Wash , whose achievement was the first described in this column, has had requests for information from 41 cities and 18 states Nearby communities have sent peoinple to Yakima to get first-hanformation m person. Delegations have come to Yakima from Spokane, Seattle, Walla Walla, Ephrata, Pasco, Prosser, Ellensburg and Bremerton in Washington, and from Portland and Pendleton in Oregon. The Salem plan, under which the city is subsidizing the conversion of extra space into new apartments, has drawn comment from a num- ber of other Massachusetts towns Gloucester already has copied part of the plan, and inquir.es have come rn from five other in the Bay and from state offices if Am- vets, VFW and American Legion. The veterans which has been so successful in building moderate cost housing in Albuquerque, N. M.. has been busy answering questions, too. Requests have come from Houston and Amarillo, Tev, from N.
