HYDE WARNS FARMERS
OF MARKET’S DEMAND
Secretary Appeals for Ameri-
can Standards of Living.
Manhattan, Kan.—American farm
ers can conquer the world in any “of
our great agricultural products," but
to do so they must sell on world mar
kets at world prices. Arthur M, Hyde,
secretary of agriculture, declared
here.
“That means,” continued the sec
retary, speaking at the seventh an
nual trade conference of the summer
session of the American Institute of
Co-Operation, “that southern planters
shall measure their living standards
against those of India and China;
and tiint wlieat growers must meet
Hussian standard.s of living.
■■Whether we shall continue to pro-
-duce price-hreaking surj'luses there
fore to how we want to
America’s buslness^^P^^P In
cidentally the production of wheat
and cotton. Primarily we seek to
produce happier and better people.”
Atiiprlcnn cotton faces severe com
petition. said the secretary, with con
sumption of cotton grown In the Unit
ed States. ‘Tty reducing our costs
and producing a higlier quality of cot
ton. we probably can maintain our
foreign market,’^ he said.
Wheat is the most vulnerable of
American agricultural products, even
though It is only a small per cent of
the total value of agricultural pro
duction, the secretary said.
•'Boiled down," he said, ■■we can
probably continue to profluce tobacco,
lard (and to some extent pork), rice,
apples and citrus fruit for the export
market, and, unless foreign expansion
becomes too great, sell them at a
profit."
The American farmer demands and
mu.st have an American standard of
living, tlie .speaker said in conclusion,
“but tlie farmer himself must not
defeat it. His production plans must
start with consideration of tlie eco
nomic domitiid of the market."

NATION FACES SHORT
SPRING WHEAT CROP
American Yield Estimated at
About 185,000,000 Bu.
Chicago,—North .America faces a
ear spring wheat crop failure, ac-
- )rding to reports by the United States
and Canadian governments. The condi
tion In botli countries is the lowest
ever known. A condition of C7,0 for
spring wheat was shown for tiie Amer-
I Northwe.st, tlie lowest In over CO
years, being 10.8 points below Inst year
and nearly 20 points under the average
of the past ten years. The C.anadian
condition was placed at 80. the lowest
since crop reporting started in liXXi.
and compared witli 07 last year.
Wliile no estimates were ottlcially
made on the .siirlng wlieat crops or
the acreage, local statistician.s figured
ttiat the American crop was around
183.000,(XX) bushels, the smallest In
over 20 years with tlie exception of
1010, wlien It was 150,000,000 Imshels
and compared with 247,000,000 buslieis
harvested last year.
A total wtieat crop of around 27.5,-
000,000 buslieis was suggested by the
Canadian government report. Lust
year's harvest was 308,000,000 bushels.
Based on the official and private
construction placed on the conditional
figures of both winter and spring
wheat the aggregate yield for North
America would be around 1.100.000 000
bushels, or 1-10.000,000 bushels less than
last year’s harvest.
As the trade sees It, should the final
han-est be approximately as small
as the total suggested It would force
a radical readjustment of world’s ideas
as to the supply and demand situation
for the 1031-32 season, especially as
Australian acreage is esllmateil to
show a decrease of 30 to 35 per cent
from last year and a reduction of 5
to 20 per cent Is looked for in Argen
tina.
Condition of winter wheat on .Tune 1
of 84.3 was 0 points lower than In
May. There were losses In practically
all states last month, particularly In
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, ‘and
Texas, due to cold weather ami freez
ing temperatures at time.s. In tlie Mid
dle West conditions held up well.
Condition In Indiana was slightly im
proved. Nehraskn lost 14 polnts. Knn-
sas 9 points. Colorado 10. Oklahoma
5, and Texas 11 points.
Kansas crop Is estimated at 107,-
770,000 bushels, comp.ired with 17G.-
708,(XX) bii.sheis last month. Nehra.ska
dropped 3,200.000 bushels, while Texas
'gftiiK'tl' over 'bulhels.' 'Heavy
losse.s, due to drought, arc* reported
from the west coast.
A rye crop of 0,000,000 tiushcls leas
than lost year was suggested by the
American government report, the Indi
cated yield being placed at 44,(KK),(KX)
bushels, compared with 50,000,000 bush
els harvested last year. Condition of
oats was placed at 84.7. against 83.2
last year and a 10-year average of
82.0, but no official estimates were
made on the crop or acreage. On the
basis of the private returns a yield of
around 1,40>.(XX),(XK) bushels was sug
gested. or practically tlie same ns last
year. Condition of barley was about
the same n.s the average of the past
10 years, wlille of hay and pasturage
It Is lower.

World’s Oldest
City Is Rocked
Nackhichevan, Founded by
Noah, Scene of Violent
Earthquakes.
Washington.—Nakhichevan. Trans-
Caucasian city recently sliaken by
earthquakes does not sound funiiliar,
but may be It should! Nearby is Mount
Ararat, wliere Noah Is reputed to have
grounded the Ark. Tradition has it
that the prophet founded Nakhichevan
—the name meaning ’’he descended
here"—as soon as the waters receded.
Citizens of Nakhichevan therefore
claim that theirs is "the oldest city
In the world."
“In the present-day world Nakhich
evan Is the somewhat drab, dusty lit
tle sun-baked capital of a tiny self-
governing Soviet republic, of the same
name, strung along the Persian bor
der near the common ’corner’ of So
viet Russia, Persia ana Tiirkev’’ ••v«

“The republic of Nakliichevan Is
geographically the southernmost of
Soviet republics west of ttie Caspian
sea, Governmentally It Is at the bot
tom of a kind of 'house that Ivan
built.' Almost surrounded by Hie So
viet republic of Armenia, It is, never
theless, a part of tlie Azerbaijan S. S.
It., which in turn Is a unit of the
Trans-Caucasian Socialist Federation
of Republics, wlilcli us a united entity
forms part of tbe Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics. Nakliichevan never-
heless bears the proud title of ‘auton-
moQS.'
“Althougli Hie main occupations of
the 105.1KX) Tatars and Armenian peas
ants of the republic are farming and
cattle breeding, Nakhichevan Is best
known tliroughoui Hie Soviet world as
a [Aoducer of natural salt. Twelve
miles from the capital are the rich

of rock suit noted for Its purity. The
salt is brought to the city of Nakhich
evan by motor truck, and shipped by
railroad north Into other Russian
states, and south Into Persia.
“Nakhichevan is one of the newer
political divisions of the Soviet Union.
Along with the rest of Trans-Caucasia
It seceded from Russia and became
part of three entirely Independent re
publics In 1917. Constant strife and

“Today Nakhichevan is a city of

slopes of tbe River Aras. Stone houses
with wide roofs climb from tbe river
to the foot of bni.sh-covered hills in
the background. Along Hie sky line
rise the noble twin peaks of Mount

"Noah's grave near Nakhichevan's
city limits, is shown to visitors, and it
stands In high veneration both with
the Armenians and Tatars, neither
of whom seem to be aware that a
similarly honored burial place also
exists in the Holy Ijind, where It t»
regarded as a holy spot by Moslems,
•The ground which trembled to

known the beat of hosts of marching
men through the ages. The mighty
armies of Cyrus. Darius, Xerxes, Al
exander the Great, and Hannibal fol
lowed the banks of the River Aras on
their campaigns of conquest and sub
jection. This highroad into Persia
has been the scene of untold slaugh
ter and misery, and more than forty-
great battles have been fought In
the vicinity of Nakhichevan by forces
seeking to control It.”
16th Century Furniture
Styles Are Coming Back
Chicago.—The newest furniture for
American homes this fall will be four
centuries old!
At least, that’s the Impression of
furniture men from all parts of the
country who attended the National
Furniture market and style show at
the American Furniture mart here.
They mean, not that all the old beds
and chests will be resurrected, but
that Sl.xteenth cwitury furniture styles
are coming into popularity.
Kngllsh designs, based on the .Ta-
cobenn. Gothic and Elizabethan furni
ture of the Sixteenth and early Sev
enteenth centuries, was very much
more noticeable in the manufacturers’
displays this summer tllan formerly,
it was said. .Although Early American
is probably si'll tbe volume leader of
all period furniture, the Old English
styles are gaining ground.
The English furniture was chiefly
made of oak and this wood Is used
for the reproductions. The orkjlnal
pieces were also massive In size, and
although the Twentletli century rep
licas retain the sturdy appearance of
tl>eir predece.ssors, they are much
smaller, scaled down to meet the re
quirements of modern homes, which
do not contain hnronlal banquet halls
nor castle courtrooms.
Boys Hunting for Gold
Find Indian Cemetery
Alma, Neb.—Lure of possible hid
den gold nuggets valued at $60,(X)0,
coupled with the curiosity of thrge
slxteen-year-old boys, led to the dis
covery of an Indian burial ground
liere, with the result that excavations
are being conducted this spring on the
hillside filled with human bones and
rel!c.«.
The youths were Inspired liy the’tale
that three white men had burled 160,-
Callforiila gold Helds. Indians at
tacked the trio of pro.spectors, killing
two, while the third lied, leaving the
treasure behind. Tlie legend has been
told tor decades, wlih occasional expe
ditions into a valley near liere.
When the youths, armed with spades
and a screw driver, attacked tlie soft
earth on Hie highest knoll at tlie val
ley, Hiey discovered human bones, a
skull or two and several sea shells,
beads and pottery.
The hoys found that the bones and
“Indian Jewelry" were so brittle that
they crumbled to dust when touebed.

AIRPLANE CLOUD CHASING
REVEALS RATE OF GROWTH
Meteorology Society Learnt Ways to
Fathom Weather Secrets
From Air.
Washington.—Chasing clouds in an
airplane to learn how fast they grow
and CO obtain other Intimate secrets
barred to earthbound weather men is
the new kind of meteorology that was
described before the meeting of the
American Meteorological society here
by Dr. J. B. Anderson, of the naval
air station at Anacostia, D. C.
Doctor Anderson wanted to learn
something about the birth and growth
of clouds in the more or less per
manent layer that hangs over the I'a-
clllc coast of the United Slates. He
was especially curlou.s to find out the
Tite at which they plied Ihemselve.s
ip into the air. He found that to
eep his plane even with the top of
one cloud he was studying he bad to
dim*) two or three hundred feet a
minute.
How to get other weather data from
the upper air without the expense of
going up after it in an airplane was
described by Dr, .1, Patterson, of the
Canadian meteorological service. To
ronto. He has devi.sed an apparatus
that wUI fla.':Ii back signals of temper
ature and pressure from an ascending
small balloon as long as the observers
can keep it In sight through a tele
scope.
Hitherto similar apparatus has been
carried up arranged to record its ex
periences with a pen on a slowly mov
ing strip of paper. But to get the
story the weather man would have to
wait until the balloon came down
again and Hieu depend on the chance
of the apparatus being found and sent
hack by .some fnriiier or woodsman,
The new devire Is equipped with red
and white electric lights fed by a
ffashligbt battery. The mechanism Is
arranged in such a way that the or
der of flashing on and off of the lights
will tell the observer on the ground
whether the balloon is passing from
warm air to cold, or vice versa. Sim
ilarly. another light signals by Its
flashings how much the barometric
pressure Is changing as the balloon
rises.
Doctor Patterson pointed out that
this device should be especially useful
to meteorologists in polar regions or
other unpopulated parts of Hie world,
where the ordinary registering instru
ments are useles.s through the Impossi
bility of getting them back again.

EUROPE AWAITS U. S.
IDEA ON DEBT ISSUE
WOULD DEPOSE DICTATOR
Looks to America for Help
in Economic Tangle.
Washington.—On the Hoover admin
istration world attention is focused,
looking for a sign that .America again
Is ready to lend aid to a new attempt
iron out the tangle of reparations,
interallied debts, disarmament, tariffs,
budgetary deficits and all other ele
ments ’Involved In the iiitcrnationnl
lomic crisis of 1931.
roiu the recent -Anglo-German con
ference in Britain European observers
drew tbe Impression that a new move
bad been set afoot looking to “inter
national coUaboration" to meet the sit
uation.
That plirase was construed as moan
ing .American collaboration in a con
ference where Germany’s World wa
reparation liabilities to the former
World war allies could be-reviewed
simultaneously with the situation ns
to the war debts owed by those allies
to their former wjr associate, the
United States.
The conclusion drawn by European
observers was that Chancellor Bruen-
Ing and Foreign Minister Curtins of
Germany had been Informed that
there could be no scaling down of
reparations unless there also was re
duction or abatement in war-debt pay
ment schedules for the former allies.
Presumably it was left to German
initiative to Oiid a way to Induce
Washington to consider some action
of that kind.
Both In Europe and,in Washington
it is recalled that President Hoover,
welcoming delegates to the Interna
tional Chamber of Commerce conven
tion in Washington about a month
ago. charged the economic depression
largely to tax burdens due to mainte
nance of great armies. He urged ac
tion to curttril such armaments at the
forthcoming League of Nations’ spon
sored conference.
Mr. HooA-er’s Insistence on further
arms limitation lends color to the Idea
that he is prepared to go far to attain
that end.
It remains, to be seen whether the
new phase of the reparations tangle,
terystallizing in the German govern-
'ment’s struggle with Increased taxa
tion In the'face of rumbles of polit
ical revolt under any added burden,
offers Washingto)! an opportunity to
trade some form'.of war delit revision
f,.P baulccd by
Hie Kellogg-Briand universal treaty
against war as an agency of national
policy, actually cutting down tbe
armies and military tuxes of the
world. There have been no Intima
tions. however, from official sources
to that effect In Washington.
Those believing that Mr. Hoover
and his advisers liope to exert pres
sure on the coming arms conference
by urging on congress some recon
sideration of Hie allied debt question
base their argument on the general
picture of the disarmament situation.

100 Per Ct. Increase in
Paroled U. S. Prisoners
AVushlngton.—Statistics published by
Hie Department of Justice indicate
that the government is becoming more
lenient in its handling of federal pris
oners, Official figures show a 100 per
cent increase during the last year
Hie number of prisoners out on pnrole
and probation.
In tlie last week of .'lay. 1931, there
were 39,993 persons under federal sen

same date a year ago. Of Hie 39,993
under federal sentences, 29,089 were
in prisons and Jails, 2,451 were on pa
role and 10,853 were out on probation.
.A year ago only 1,447 were on pa
role while 4,122 were out on probation.
Tlie abnormal increase in tlic num

Hons will send representatives to a
second agricultural "unity" conference
to be held here June 29. The American
Farm Bureau federation sponsored
the original meeting.
The call for organization of the Na

preceded by a meeting on May 18.
The committee named to formulate a
program includes E. A. O'Neal, presi
dent of the American Farm Bureau
federation; L. J. Taber, master of tlie
National grange: C. E. Huff, president
of tlie Farmers’ National Grain cor

Hie National Live Stock Marketing as
sociation; J. G. Henry of the Ameri
can Colton Co-Operative association,
and Ralph Snyder, chairman of the
Isntlonal Coinnilifee of'Farm

The resolutions passed at the pre
vious conference stressed the need for
acceptance of true co-operative prin
ciples by farm people: the correlation
of efforts and pooling of resources by
agricultural groups to Inform the pub
lic concerning tlie federal agricultural
act and In unifying activities in con
