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

North Dakota .......... 1,491 39

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. Besides in a family of
tour where everyone wants 'a chop-
Stick, a four-legged hen would mak~
it simple to keep peace at the table.

But this or that, what ere

The farmer must feed

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

following speech.
sional Record. and were printed in fuI1 as follows:
Mr. Speaker, loud and long are the complaints--which
are both amusing and disgusting--coming from Republican
sources for the most part and voiced because of the visit
of 4,000 farmers to the Nation's Capital.
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-

vealed that Lustlg was Interested In
the output of counterfeit notes, some
of which were found in the home of
a Chicago printer named Davis. 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.

Headaches
FOR YEARS I've suffered

many women are bothered
with too much acid, and he
recommended Milnesia

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.
