WHEAT DIVISION URGED
Baton Rouge, Ia. 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."

Farm Income
Increase Seen
for Next Year
Dr. 0. C. 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

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.
