EES CROSS MEETTKu
AT WASHINGTON TODAY
V'as!;ington. April f. A list of
drastic uove rnmeiKal eionomies esti
mated to be capabh-of saving con
siderable mure than .?2imU'UO.ouO.
was submitted to the president by the
house economy committee.
The program, drafted by Chairman
McDuffie. with the aid of the entire
committee-, was laid before the presi
dent at the opening of his conference
with the group at the white house.
Every department and bureau of
the government would be affected in
some way by the proposed economies.
They called for lopping ; 1.72J
off the annual appropriation bills and
making legislative change that
woirtJ save an additional $ 1 1 thOI; 4,-
! 4 S . Numerous additional changes
were proposed to swell the savings,
but the amount was unestimated.
The largest departmental savings
would be from the funds allotted to
tiie agriculture, treasury and war de
partments, largely by cuts in road
and public building and rivtr and
harbor funds. The chief economies
accomplished thru legislative changes
would be thru a pay cut for federal
employes, changes in retirement regu-
i itions and have allowances, discon
tinuance of vocational education and
chang-s in the veterans administra
tion. !
Outstanding among the items for
which ro estimate was given cf the
saving were numerous consolidations
of gove rnmental bureaus and of the
war and navy departments.
The program prepared by Chair
man McDuffie with bi-partisan aid.

Crop Is Estimated at Half of Last1
Year's Production; Condition
Eighty-Seven Percent.
The condition of winter wheat is
C7 percent and rye SO percent. An
unusually heavy abandonment is in
prospect, says the state and federal
division of agricultui al statistics.
Cash rents and farm wages are con
siderably lower. What stocks are es-I
tiniated at 23 percent of last year's
crop. The soil moisture supply is
excellent in eastern Nebraska but!
still deficient in western Nebraska.
The condition of winter wheat is!
C7 percent as compared with 76 per-j
cent on Dec. 1 and f2 percent a year !
ago. The preliminary estimate of ;
production is 2S.0i 0.000 bushels.:
Last year's cir-p amounted to 57,-1
4:!1.0oo bushels. '
April 1 estimates indicated a prob-j
able abandonment ranging from 20 !
percent to 25 percent. However,!
that was too early to determine any- 1
thing definite. It is believed the
i
abandonment w ill be unusually ,
heaw. Western Nebraska wheat has 1
stifle red severely from drouth, high:
winds ana tne low temperatures!
eaily in March. The prospects were:
excellent in eastern Nebraska and
but little abandonment is expected. ;
There is also considerable Hessian
fly in central and ea rern Nebraska, t
Stocks of old wheat on farms are
estimated at 2?. percent of the crop
or 13. 42".00o bushels against 12.
Itij.lH'O bushels last year. Unofficial ;
estimates of stocks of corn are 30:
pei cent of lact year's i rop and oats
n0 percent. Unofficial estimates of.
stocks of corn are 51.704,000 buth-1
els. against SI. 204. 000 bushels last I
year and oats 14. 900. 000 bushels
again-t 2.",7!1.000 bushels last year.
The condition of rye is 80 percent.;
Most of the rye is produced in west- j
un and northern NVbiaska. Condi-'
tions are very unfavorable in west-'
em Nebraska. Soil conditions in
north central Nebraska last fall were
unfavorable, but the winter supply
of moisture was more favorable. j
Cash tents ate below those of last;
year. The average rental price of
farm land is $2.90 per cere against;
$C.C5 an acre last year. The average1
rental for plowland is $4. .15 per acre!
against ?5.25 per acre last year and;
pasture land SI. 10 per acre against
SI. 3 0 last year. I
Farm wages have dropped consid- i
erbaly. Present wages per month
with boaid are $24.75 against 535.
last year. Day labor with board is j
$1.25 against $1.95 a year ago. The
farm labor supply is 123 percent of ;
normal and the demand 6 4 percent
of normal.
The condition of pasture is 73 per
cent compared with SS percent a
year ago. Pasture land is well sup
plied with moisture in eastern Ne
braska. Pastures are about normal
for this time of t lie year.
Condition of winter wheat for the
United States is 75.8 percent as com
pared with SS.S percent a year ago.
Thf forecast of production is 457,
970,000 bushels as compared with
7s7.465.000 bushels harvested last
year.

COALITION SUGGESTED
WITH COOLTDGE, SMITH
St. Paul. Minn.. April 10. The
St. Paul Pioneer-Press, an independ
ent newspaper, in a first page edi
torial, suggested a "coalition of dem
ocrats and republicans In a genu
ine national administration -with
former President Calvin Coolidge as
president and former Governor Al
fred E. Smith as vice-presicfent," as
a means to "dispel the psychology
of depression."
The article says that Mr. Cool
