The new deal is certain to continue paying benefits to corn-hog farmers next year despite the angry protests of housewives over the high cost of pork, the United Press learned today. Lawyers for the agricultural adjustment administration are studying the stenographic record of hearings held here last week trying to decide whether to continue production control of corn -and hogs or abandon it.

Representatives of farmers, meat packers and consumers testified at the hearing. The present contract with corn-hog farmers -under which they receive benefit checks in return for production expires November 1. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace must decide whether to continue the payment of benefits or drop the whole scheme. It is one of the cornerstones of the new deal.

Wallace will make his decision a- round the middle of October. The meat packers want hm to abandon the pro duction control and lift the processing tax for them.

C. WALLACE, Pastor -0 God, the Only Just Judge Then gently scan your brother man, Still gentler sister woman; Tho' they may gang a kennin' wrang, To step aside is human; One point must still be greatly dark, The moving WHY they do it; And just as lamely can ye mark How far perhaps theyrue it. Who made the heart? 'tis he alone Decidedly can try is; He knows each card- its various tone, Each spring--its various bias; Then at the balance let's be mute, We never can adjust it; What's ON we partly may compute, But know not what's resisted.

and Mrs. T. F. Harmon. Thomas is serving his internship in the University hospital in Oklahoma City this year.
