PAGE 6 THIS WEEK In Washington Washington, May 24?Curiousl, enough, tne most interesting poiiti cal event under discussion in Wash ington at this writing is notnini that the Administration or Con gress or anyone else has anythin to do with. It is the drought in th wheat and corn belts. The drought is political in its ef lects, because it has apparentl; done what the Administration ha ' ' a- J- i?? ? oeen attempting tu uu u> puum-u methods; that is, reduce the suppl; of grain to avert a surplus am raise the price. Instead of operat ing through the political machiner of the AAA, Nature took a hand am brought about a crop shortage o; the old reliable short-cut method Physical evidence of the drough was brought to President Roosevel by the air route. The dust store which darkened the sun on the At lantic Coast, with grains of gri from North Dakota and the rest o the prarie states forming a clouover the East, left plenty of dirt oi the roof and porticoes of th White House itself. Two Views of Dust Cloud There are two ways of looking a this dust cloud and what it ma; signify politically. To one group o political thinkers it is the "clout no bigger than a man's hand/' sucl as Elijah saw of old. To those s< minded, it signifies the beginnint of the end of the Agricultural Ad miiSStration program. To be sure tlx* nrioh lo Hnilhtlocc in OTPQ+. mPflR IlliC VY XtJJll 1U UVUMV4VWW *** O" vwv ? w?? ure the father of the thought, bu those who do not like the princi pie of the AAA are not all of then by any means the President's poli tical enemies. Many of them thinl it was a program wished on hin by enthusiasts. These people believe that the President now, after t year in office and experience wit! every known variety of planners scemers and meddlers, to say nothing of the trickery, chicanery anc skulduggery of national politics as it is played here, is not so inclined to listen to uplifters or nationsavers or other folk who have surefire remedies for all that ails us. The folk who talk that way arc perfectly willing to agree that the United States was producing much more wheat and corn than we coulc find a market for in the present restricted state of world commerce They are in agreement in principle with the theory'1 that margina lands ought to be taken out of cultivation, so as to reduce the annua! surplus to reasonable bounds. And they are all glad to see a chance for the farmer to get more for his product. They just don't like some of the means adopted by the AAA to bring those desirable ends about How People Reason There are other enthusiasts here who think the drought is anothei ?\lnnn 11inlr '' nrVti/tV pictc U1 J.WUOCVUU 1UUA., W1UV.4 has come to be an everyday expression at the capital. They say, ir effect: "Lookit! The President wa: trying to raise the price of whea and corn and wasn't getting awa; with it. His gold policy didn't d< the trick, and he's been huntini everywhere for some other way t< do it, when along comes Old Mai Drought and does it for him. That' pure Roosevelt luck( for it won't bi long now before everybody will for get that it was the drought that di< it. They'll give Roosevelt all thi credit because it happened in hi: Administration." There may be something in that Human nature is funny. If it like: a man?and everybody likes Mr Roosevelt?it will give him credi for everything good and put all th< blame for whatever is bad on some one it doesn't like, like Mr. Hoove or Wall Street or the Japanesi Menace or something. Flaw's In Argument But the Washington observersand there are some pretty wise one among them?point out the flaw ii that line of argument this way: "Grant that the drought has don what the AAA has so far failed t do; that is, it has put up the pric of wheat. It sure did that. Whea jumped from 79 cents in Chicag on May 1 to 93 cents on May 1] And grant, furthermore, that that i just what the Administration ha been trying to accomplish. "But did the drought pay th farmers any bonuses or benefit pay ments? Not a cent. Do they ge anything for not raising the whea that the drought killed? Nary i dollar. Under the Administration' plans they may not have got mucl higher prices for their wheat, a least not as much as they though they ought to have had, or believe* that they had been promised. Bu under the AAA they don't have t* raise wheat to get paid; they onl; have to cease raising it by contrac and agreement with the Govern ment. Under the drought they hav ceased raising it, all right, but the: haven't any contracts with the ele ments, at least none that they cai collect on. "And will that make the farmer Warrenton, \orth Carolina \ sore? Wheat states have been feeling prosperous with the flow OJ Government money coming in as benefit pa;mients to the farmers Now, it seems likely, the droughi will have tie effect of changing al ( that. They will have to wait til harvest tims for their money, anc * they will have to grow and delivei actual whtat to get it. Ever though it comes to a lot more pel ? bushel, we cpine they won't like it. "Human nature being what it is 1 indignation at having the flow ol easy money stopped always mors than overbalances any gratitude foi having hac. a whack at the easj y money while it was running free." s There you have both sides of tht 1 picture. It :s too soon to judge bey tween the two possible effects ths 3 drought may have on the Presi" dent's political fortunes. y J Officers Make Plans 1 For State Farm Meel t t Decision to change the old Stats u Farmers' and Farm Women's Con vention into a Farm and Horns t Week was made at a meeting o: f officials of ;he convention held ai d State College last week. 11 Farm and Home Week will be obe served July 31 to August 4 and the central theme for discussion will be new agricultural and rural life prot grams as a result of the present V governmental activity. A numbei 1 of national figures will be invited 1 to address the general sessions oi i the meeting and special attention > will be devoted to continuous deml onstrations and exhibits. All farmer's and farm women's > organizations in North Carolina arc - invited to hold their annual gather t mgs at the College during the week - and to take part in the various 1 sessions. The annual short course - lor farm women will be held as t usual under the direction of i Miss Ruth Current, and the State - Federation of Home Demonstration i Clubs will meet on Thursday, Aug1 ust 2. Charles A. Sheffield, general secretary of Farm and Home Week, 1 says that a number of prominent 5 speakers from Washington will be 1 invited. Among them will be Under-Secretary of Agriculture Tugwell; H. R. Tolley, in charge of land niannina fnr t.hQ AAA: Senator ! Bankhead of Alabama, author of ! the Bankhead Act, and probably, 1 Miss Perkins, the Secretary oi [ Labor. A. E. Morgan of the TenJ nessee Valley Authority, Miss Mar' tha Berry of the Berry Schools, and | Miss Maude Wallace, state home demonstration agent in Virginia, | are among others to be invited, j The college is arranging for tours , to be conducted to nearby points of [ interest and for exhibits to be in[ creased this year. A number of demonstrations will be given on the campus and in the laboratory rooms. W. Kerr Scott of Haw River will [ preside at the sessions for the men and Mrs. Gordon Reid of Union Mills, Rutherford County, at the sessions for the women. i J No Waste Feed 7 When Silo Used 5 I Corn and other feed crops lose 3 only a very small part of their food 1 value when stored in silos as coms pared with a 25 to 35 per cent loss e when the same crops are shocked - and fed in a dry form. 1 This heavy loss of dried crops is 2 due largely to weather deterioation s and waste at feeding time, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman >. at N. C. State College. 3 He pointed out that silage is the . nearest approach to good succulent t June pasture tnat larmers 111 uus s State can grow for winter feeding - It is also an excellent supplement r for pasturage in dry weather. e Either corn or sorghum can be used for silage. Usually sorghum will produce a larger tonnage and - more nutriment per acre, but corn s is generally preferred by most a dairymen. Sorghum is seasily blown down and is harder to harvest in e that condition. o Parmunskey and Eureka are the e two leading varieties of corn used ,t in this State for silage. The proo lific varieties are also used by L. many dairymen who desire a largei s percentage of grain than is producs ed by the silage variety. Japanese seeded ribbon cane is one of the e best varieties of sorghum for - silage. t The best time to plant com or t sorghum for silage is between May a, 15 and June 15. Later plantings s are more subject to drouth, a The advent of the trench silo has t made is possible for owners of t small herds to profitably provide 1 tneir cows witn succulent winter t feed. Three or four tons should be d preserved for each animal. On the y average, corn will produce a ton of t silage for each five bushels of grain, ?

The 1933 crop will be considerably less, but a carry-over of 800,000,000 ' pounds is liable to produce condi- 1 tions on the market similar to those last year, Forstei opined. i If the weather conditions result ( in the 1934 crop being limited to . 350,000,000 pounds, he said, tobacco i should bring s.bout 15 cents a < pound without a marketing agreement, or 20 to 23 cents a pound with an effective agreement. But if 400,000,000 pounds are raised this year, Forster predicted that the price would slump to an average of less than 12 cents a pound unless another marketing agreement is put into force.
