THE BEACH REVIEW II I I I I I II ? WHEAT FARMERS FAVOR CONTROL Results of Vote Shows Strong Ratio in Favor of AAA Program. Heavy majorities in favor of con- tinuation of the AAA wheat control program were shown in partial re- turns from the balloting in which ap- proximately 500,000 farmers in 37 statvs tool{ Dart. All farmers who grow enough wheat to be elizible to sign the acreage re- duction cmltracts had the right to vote, whether or not they signed con- :racts in 1933, 1934 or 1935. Votes of signers and non-signers were ta- bulated separately before totals were added. As the totals grew. votes cast in favor of continuing the control pro- gram beyond the end of the present wheat year exceeded those opposed, by a ratio of better than six to one. Votes of non-signers, making up about 10 per cent of the total, ran bet- ter than two to one in favor of con- tinuation. Tabulation Results A tabulation of partial returns from largest wheat growing states, made by the Associ,~ted Press, showed the foI!owing results: State ,Yes. No. Minnesota ............. 3,573 592 Nebraska .............. 8,198 2,505 South Dakota .......... 853 95 Oklahoma ............. 10,,~10 1,6il Illinois ................ 2,489 273 I,;ansas ................ 24,296 2,872 Missouri ............... 1,169 241 Iowa .................. 7S2 70 North Dakota .......... 1,491 39 Co!orado .............. 3,477 326 Texas ................. 3,986 162 Officials in Washington, who be- fore the voting had said the results Would have an important bearing on the entire federal farms program, were jubtlant as they heard the re- sults of the referendum. Among them were Chester C. Davis, AAA ad- ministrator; George E. Farrell, direc- tor of the AAA's division of grants, and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Significant to Farmers Davis asserted he believed the re- ferendum would "have important ef- fects on the future efforts of farmers to make practical use of the AAA." In a statement given out through sis publicity representatives, Wallace said: "If the official count bears out this unofficial one, we can safely assume that the farmers of America intend to keep having a voice in the eco- nomic decisions which affect their in- comes. So long as the privilege of economic self-determination does not Work injustice to other classes--and farmers have not thus far caused Such injustice--the process is indis- Pensable to an effective modern dem- ocracy." "The indicated high percentage of nonsigners voting in favor of the wheat probram may be attributed to three reasons. "First, is the fact that under the Proposed new program greater flex- ibility is proposed in order to allow farmers who were ineligible to sign contracts before to so do now. "Second, farmers understand the ,~vheat program better now. This is the first opportunity they have had since the summer of 1933 to directly express their sentiment on the pro- gram. "A third reason is the crop-income insurance feature of the wheat pro- gram which has been demonstrated during the last two drouth years." Davis, after saying the result of the referendum would have an effect "not only as to wheat but possibly al- so as to other farm products," declar- ed that the wheat plan "served as a Pattern for the major adjustment pro- gram." Ten Wheat States Vote. The attention of AAA officials was centered on 10 states, where there %'ere 411,953 of the total of 579,418 Wheat production control contracts. These states were Kansas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Montana, Texas, South Dakota, Nebraska, Washington, Illinois, and Colorado. These states Provide 77.3 per cent of the total na- tional wheat acreage, and produce 70.8 per cent of the total whea~ grown. North Dakota topped all the states in number of contracts, with 104,326, While Kansas ranked second with 94,061. AN unusually large hen's egg must contain something besides an ordin- ary chicken, thought C. O. Sletten, creamery manager at Sacred Heart, Minn., and when a farmer brought in One of gigantic size, he took the egg to a hatchery and asked to have it hatched. To the surprise of all con- cerned, a four-legged chick hatched out, with the two extra legs attached to its tail. Altho th~ chick makes no effort to use them for locomotion, they may be vahmble later for scratching her back.

Bennett, who ts director of soil erosion prevention, has been named by the President to assist in the work relief program. Members of Consumers' Coopera- tive Services, a chain of eleven con- sumer-owned eating houses in New New Oil Companies Several new Farmers' Union coop- erative oil associations have been or- ganized in North Dakota since Jan- uary 1. Among those started and in operation since the beginning of the new year are the following: Flasher, N. D., Gardner, N. D., Kildeer, Law- ton, Adams. Several others are about ready for operation and will be start- ed soon. Summer Activities Planned Many of the Farmers' Union local associations are planning on an active summer of picnics and meetings, and as soon as the spring work is entire- ly out of the way these plans will take form and arrangements for the various gatherings will be annonnced. In every connty there are signs of a real awakening this year, and with the improved moisture conditions there is hope that the. dark drouth days are over for all time to come. Membership Grows Membership in the Eastern States Farmers' Exchange, drawn from the New England states, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, reached a total of 56,200 at the end of 1934. This is a gain in membership of 7,700 over the 1933 total of 48,500, a gain of 16 per cent.

With solemn faces and frantic assurances about their own purity, the defenders of reaction hold up their hands in holy horror because the farmers had the audacity to send a "lobby" to Washington. How shocking! To what depths the agriculturists have sunk, that 4,000 of them come to Washington to ex- press their opinions about legislation and policies. What frightfully unethical proceedure for these men, who raise crops, milk cows, hoe potatoes, and plow in fields, to invade the sacred precincts of the District of Columbia and actual- ly attempt to influence officials and the public! Of course, this has never been done before. Of course, it is an alarm- ing innovation when representatives of a class seek to have laws enacted that they approve. Of course, in all previous times, from the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence down to the present, Congress, the Presi- dent, and other officials have lived in a sterilized political ether apart from people and all mundar~e influences, have never received appeals or requests to do this or that, and have never yielded in any degree to the advice or urging of anybody. The Railroad Trust, the Oil Trust, the Beef Trust, the Sugar Trust, and all the other monopolies--none of them have ever maintained a lobby in Washington or spent money to entertain officials. Oh, no! In view of this uninterrupted record of stainless vir- tue, it really is both astounding and awful that bronzed muscular, hard-working, honest farmers whose toil pro- duces so many essentials for the whole people should have the nerve to be seen and heard in Washington! What are we coming to anyway ? Cannot these farm- ers understand that they ought to stay home on their farms, mind their own business, keep their mouths shut, and let the representatives of the millionaire and billionaire corporations, with their diamond pins and rings and "biled" shirts have the Washington show to themselves ? Without discussing the policy of the Agriculture De- partment and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration which the farmers came to Washington to personally en- dorse, I want to say with all possible emphasis that they have as much right to come here as any class in this coun- try-and much more right than the smooth and sleek lob- byists for big business. I am glad they came. t :hope they come again and often. I hope they exercise increasing influence over legislation and policies as time goes on--and that the same is true of wage workers. When farmers and workers have their say about our laws and methods of government, instead of Wall Street, the Nation will be con- siderably better off than it ever has been before. The A. A. A. has undoubtedly made its mistakes, as all human' institutions do. But the mistake has not been because agriculture was regulated and "regimented." If there have bean errors, it was because there was not enoug~n regulation and because it was not always gaged so that the producer would get the maximum of benefit. The principle of regulating agriculture and of regulating in- dustry in the interest of the common people is a correct one, and the farmers are right in endorsing it, regardless of what we may think about details as to the application of the principle. It ought not to be necessary to say that 4,000 farmers, or any other number of them, are within their rights in coming to Washington to express their opinions about pub- lic matters, just as trade-unionists and ex-service men and other citizens are. Whether they came here to endorse the A. A. A. or denounce it, to advocate Democracy or Republi- canism or Socialism or the single tax or repeal or prohibi- tion, or any other philosophy is beside the point. If they had made their pilgrimage for the purpose of assailing the "new deal" they would have had an equal right to travel to and from the city that is the seat of government. It is just about time that the captains of industry, the kings of finance, and the czars of banking of the United SLates discover that the farmers of our country have as much--and far more---right to advocate political principles as the beneficiaries of special privilege. U. S. COMBATING COUNTERFEITERS Rapid Increase of Bogus Bills Causes Much Concern. While the secret service, charged with protection of the currency of the United States, Is always alert in the war against counterfeiters, pres- ent conditions have necessitated even greater vigilance. Two factors have led to a substan- tial increase in counterfeiting. First, there was the repeal of prohibition, with a resultant seeking of other fields by bootleggers. Second, the de- pression has caused the reduction of the "market" for "suckers" In con- fidence-game manipulations, and therefore the necessity for the so- called "slickers" to turn to other methods of Income. Acting Clfief Joseph E. Murphy, of the United States secret service, says that, be- cause of the peculiar economic con- ditions, counterfeiting is today on the high tide. Great success, however, has at- tended the efforts of the secret serv- ice against the bogus-money entre- preneurs. The recent arrest in New York of Victor Lusttg, alias "the Count," Illustrates the thoroughness of the methods used. Secret service records show that In April, 1927, the Count, who has a long police record in this and Euro- pean countries, escaped from the Crown Point, Ind., Jail. He turned to counterfeiting when he found other operations lacking in profits. In December, 1933 investigation re- b ).1~ INSTANT LIGHTING Iron the easy way In one-thlrd less time with the Coleman.

The search for the count extended into several states, and ended in his ar- rest In New York city, where he was picked up. The trail terminated In a Times Sqtmre subway station locker. There police and federal agents discovered a collection of steel, copper and glass plates representing many types of government paper money. Sometimes unusual methods are used in passing counterfeits. Recent- ly, when a woman in New York, who owed a $2,500 mortgage, advertised in a newspaper to sell a bracelet and some diamonds, she was answered by facile-tongued crooks. They bought her jewelry for 22 $100 bills, which were bogus. Morning... Headaches FOR YEARS I've suffered sick headaches in the morn- ing. I didn't realize until the doctor told me how many women are bothered with too much acid, and he recommended Milnesia Wafers. Since I've been using Milnesia I've felt like a new person. Haven't had a cold either, because when you get rid of the acids you don't get colds. • E, It MILNESIA Wafers neu- tralize the excess acids that cause indigestion, heart- burn and sick headaches.
