Diversion of surplus wheat held by the federal farm board to relief purposes in drouth stricken areas was urged Thursday by Governor Long, senator elect, in a telegram to President Hoo ver requesting the white house spon sor such a plan. Governor Long asked the presi dent to sponsor legislation for distri bution of 75.000,000 bushels, thru established drouth relief commis sions. He urged the diversion as one which would dispose of the wheat surplus and bring relief to drouth stricken and unemployed. Governor Long said the federal farm board's entry into the open market and ac quisition of "millions of bushels of wheat has failed signally to stablize the wheat market, or anything else."

Stine Lays Drop to World Depression Bather Than Drought Chicago Some improvement in the demand for farm products and a consequent increase in the national farm income seems reasonably cer tain early in 1931. with substantial improvement by the end of that year, according to Dr. O. C. Stine, princi pal economist of the Bureau of Agri cultural Economics. United States De partment of Agriculture. Dr. Stine in speaking "of the ef fect of the business depression on agriculture" before the agricultural section of the American Railway De velopment Association Dec. 5, held t ll t t Vl H RAn crli t , c ne it .1 n c I 1 11 (. l 1 . . 1 . . ii 11 . 1 11 o 1' 1 1 11 uo 11 ww no. was not to any great extent respon sible for reduction of the national farm income. He said that this could be more properly attributed to the world-wide financial and business de pression which has reduced the de mand for farm rroducts. Although some states suffered con siderably, he said, from the drought, this loss was offset by increased earn ings in other states. "We must look to the demand side," he advised, "to find the explanation of the dron in farm income. Although the effect of the reduced incomes of many people will carry over into 1931, there are also evidences that business condi tions are beginning to improve, and this can reasonably be expected to reflect Itself in increased demand for necessary commodities." Apparently differing from farm board officials. Dr. Stine held that the decline in farm prices cannot be attributed to surplus production. In fact, he said, the total net volume of agricultural production for 1929 was 4 per cent less than that for 1928. and the same percentage of reduction occurred again In 1930. At the industrial section, M. C. Burton, general industrial agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company, stressed the op portunity before railway industrial departments to aid in industrial re adjustment.
