PMCB.fc.lMiJ BEHIND SCENES SN WASHINGTON By Rodney Dutohar report of tho "regional adjustment" survey of year, In which agriculluial experiment stations of 48 states collaborated with scientists and officials of AAA und other Department of Agriculture bureaus, is the "bible" of officials now seeking to out details of the domestic allotment-soil conservation program with which they hope to replace the Agricultural Adjustment Act, knocked out by the S. Supremo Court. Purpose of that survey wfls to ommcncV systems and schedules of farming and ranching for various areas which would check soil depletion tvoeiion and nl the same time stimulate farm practices which would lower production costs.

Estimates were made of the effect of such program on production and the probable change in terms of acreage. On the basis of results, seeks to judge the most desirable goals for total acreage and total volume of production of specific commodities, and, according to H. R. now in adminJstrHlion farm councils work out the best possible compromise as between: 1. The need of farmers for ndo- qUatc prices and income, 2.

Old Debts Bonus seekers arc interested chiefly in paying old debts and improving living conditions for their families, if a statistical study by a magazine circulating to American Legion members (the American Legion Monthly! is a true guide to "Where the Bonus Dollar Will Go." i On-the basis of S42.500 replies to questionnaires sent "at random" tij certificate holders, it is estimated that more than half of the eligible veterans', are troubled by old debts; that virtually, all of them plan to do thing about acquiring or improving 1 homes if they get the money. Their third ranking ambition is indicated to be the purchase or re-equipment of motor cars. In an effort to determine how the votcranti would spend their bonus money the magazine sent 25 questionnaires to each of'the'more than 11,000 pfwls of the Legion where they were distributed ut random to members who filled them out.

Increases of feed production'' in hard winter wheat, spring wheat, and Pacific Northwest areas. Range Region: Chiefly, a slight decrease in number of cattle from the low level prevailing in either 1930 or 1935, with Increase of hay production to provide more feed.

In a ten-year period it is believed that stabilization of eattlevmd sheep populations in this area at or near-present low levels would result in improvement of ranges, with a consequent increase in yield of meat and wool relative to number of bend, For irrigated areas, continued cultivation of about the present number of acres is recommended. Northeast: Probably desirable to stabilize agricultural production at ibout'present level. More milk coulci be produced, but an increase isn't recommended In view of the market situation. Acreage Changes Proposed Estimates ns to acceptable' goals of production have yet to be worked out, taking into account other factors, such as price and demand. But the follow approximate changes in national total production have been proposed, chiefly on the criteria of methods of production and soil conservation.

Crop land: 355,000,000 acres, igainst a normal 360,000,000. Corn: 2,250,000,000 bushels, against a normal of 2,510.000,000, Oats: 1.100,000,000. bushels (longtime recommendation, as against 1,130,000,000. Wheat: 722,000.000 bushels tlong- 788.000,000), as against 878,000.000. Cattle: 136.000.000 hundred-weight and 143.000.000 (long-time), as against 132,000.000.

He is a stratiger to me, but is a most remarkable man, and I am another one. Between us we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known and I know the rest." In a later address in London Twain said that Kipling even then was "the only living person not the head of a nation whose voice is heard round tlie world the moment it' drops a remark; the only Voice that does not go by slow ship and fail, but always travels first class by cable." Kipling's own wit and humor were quick and hiarked. VDon't you think it strange," an American woman said to him, "that 'sugar' is the only English and.
