Wal lace today cautioned AAA Adminis trator Chester C. Davis by telegraph against any "gift loan" on the 1935 cotton crop. The telegram was taken to indi cate that Wallace was opposed to announcement of a 12-cent loan on cotton while prices- are around 11 cents, as at present. Cotton interests, including a num ber of senators and representatives, have brought pressure to bear on the administration seeking continu ance of the 12-cent loan basis which was established for the 1934 crop. Wallace is not enroute to adoress soybean growers at Evansville, Ind He will visit Des Moines, Ames, Iowa, (August 22-24) and Logan, Utah. Wallace's telegram from Cin cinnati was the first indication from an administration source of clear- cut opposition to the 12-cent loan. Wallace suggested that Davis con sult with Rep. Marvin Jones. D., Tex., chairman of the house agri culture committee, in an effort to work out a loan figure which would not be on a "gift" basis. If the government loaned growers 12 cents a pound on cotton and market quotations stayed below that figure, the government would be left with the cotton, since it would be more profitable for the growers to leave the cotton In the governments hands than to order it sold in the open market. It was understood, meantime, that plans for the cotton loan were being whipped into final shape with legal experts drafting the form that it will lake. The amount of the loan, however, was understood to be still under discussion.

(Associated Press Photos) Fuggles Hop Picking Begins With Gloomy Outlook As hop picking got under or earliest of the hops, the darkest picture painted for it so sav some old time hop men who V,.... K...H thrmh th. VlrlSHltlldes and fortunes of over a quarter of a century in the game. Puggle picking got under way to day at the big Livesley Lakebrook yard, the Minto yard and numer ous other yards over the valley. Some will start a little later, the 100 acre Mission Bottom fuggle yard expected tq get under way Friday and ' in the Lachmund yard near Independence probably next Monday. Under ordinary conditions 50,000 pickers would be neeaea to caice ZIONISTS PLAN VAST INDUSTRY FOR PALESTINE New York IP The great world market of the future will be the Far East and New Palestine, rising from the dust of 2.000 years, is preparing to supply that demand, Zionists be lieve. The World Zionist congress at Lucerne, Switzerland, from Aug. 20 to Sept. 4, will direct more rapid development of the Jewish National homeland in anticipation of that business, according to Morris Mar gulics, secretary of the Zionist or ganization of America. 'India's 400,000.000 won't always wear the loin cloth and sheet like Gandhi," Margulies said. "Some day they will wear shirts and trousers and ties, and the New Palestine will be in a strategic position to sup ply them." China's millions and others of the Far East will be consumers, too, Margulies argues, and New Pales tine will be ready. That is the future to which the Jewish National homeland looks at the opening of its 19th biennial congres. In being a haven for op pressed Hebrews of the world it is looking for outlets for the industry that will support New Palestine's increasing populace. Great Britain already has recog nized the strategic position of the country, Margulies said. Recolonization of Palestine has eclipsed any colonization project in the world, he contends, since laai more than 350,000 Jews have settled there with a present population of 400.000. Telaviv, at first a suburb of old Jaffa, has become a city of 150,000 in the past 25 years, and Zionists expect it will suround the city of Jaffa in the next few years. SUES FOR DIVORCE Dallas Suit for divorce has been filed by Ina M. Penner against Cor nelius C. Penner in which the plain tiff seeks $10 a month for the sup port, maintenance ana education of the minor child. No propjerty inter ests are involved. The couple were married at Dallas on April 18, 1935. Mrs. Mahnkey, we count It the best of all submitted because it is simply and beautifully written, without straining for effect; it is friendly and objective, Mrs. Mahnkey intro duces her own comments here and there, but always sparingly and with balance." The contest called for the work of writers and understanding re porters who knew new3 without hav ing to be told from a desk, and who wefe possessed of a sense of values which detects the great in the small. for Growers way today among the fuggles industry was tne center 01 tne in 25 years or more, or at least - . tt-- "Wn CTP C'"nl " vines In the yards of Oregon, with probably 5,000 additional day la borers to take care of the work handled by the pickers. If all the hops are picked this year and there's a good likelihood they will not be, it is estimated 125,- 000 bales would be the state's har vest as compared to 117,000 bales last year. In Washington and Cal ifomia 55,000 bales are expected from each state or another 110.000 bales to add to the 125,000 from Oregon or 235,000 bales from the coast states. Hop dealers estimate fehat a brew of 50,000,000 barrels of beer would consume 185,000 bales of hops, showing an excess of 50,000 bales from the 1935 crop on the fifty mil lion barrel estimate. But the picture presented grows darker as the curtain is raised farther. There Is an estimated carryover of 40,000 bales from the 1934 crop, and 40,000 bales more of the old hops produced from 1929 to 1933, with which, taking over the estimated 50,000 bales excess of the 1935 crop there would be 135,000 bales to carry over into 1936. These figures present part of the reasons why all of the 1935 crop might not be picked. But there are other reasons, principally fi nancial, as many growers have ex pressed the belief that their hops are not worth picking based on the return from today's market. Still another reason is a warn ing going out from all dealers to the growers to pick nothing but prime hops, to avoid red spider, mold and also dirty picking. It Is reported that red spider is in the fuggles and clusters- too, but the fuggles will be picked soon but red spider is said to be making pro gress in the clusters and Is apt to have a serious effect on the quality of the hops, and require careful picking and handling to get out the quality hops that dealers say they must have if they are going to sell them this year. The price situation Is far from encouraging, in fact probably in the past 25 years only 1916 has present ed a real counterpart of present market conditions when growers figured they were lucky to get pick ing money out of current crop hops. At present it is said 1934 hops are worth 5 cents a pound, 1933 hops about a cent a pound and the old olds about a dollar a bale. This won't pay the storage costs on these hops. Most of the brewers, the big ones at least, are said to be loaded up with hops to January 1. Many brewers are reported to have repudiated their high price contracts of 1933 with some of them taking section 77b under the bank ruptcy act. Eastern dealers are said to have in some cases given brewers reductions of 10, 15 and 20 cents on their contracts and some of the dealers in Oregon arc compromising and giving cash to buy off the growers from their contract. As an Instance one deal was made where 15 cents in cash was paid per pound on a 30 cent contract and the contract torn up leaving the grower to get what he can out of his hops, in addition to the 15 cents. Contracts three years ago were made as high as 60 cents, with most of the high priced ones run ning 50, 40 and 30 cents, with this the last year to run at 30 cents. One contract was made on a five year basis at better than 33 cents a pound for each of the five years. This contract ts said to be still holding. But a lot of the repudi ated contracts are now in the shape of law suits and before masters in bankruptcy. Of course, increased production has played one of the heaviest roles In bringing about the present situ ation. When the country went wet again there was something over 15.000 acres In hops in Oregon. Now there are over 26,000 acres. There were about 500 growers when the country returned to the wet regime and now there are over 1,000. Not only, declared one hop deal er, must growers this year pick and bale only prime quality hops, but he Is of the opinion that If the 80, 000 bale carryover of old hops isn't taken out and burned that the hop Industry is standing on the edge of a cliff that will completely wreck it. He cited the possibility of a 135,00 bale carryover in 1936 and declared that "as long as this situ ation continues brewers can give what they want to for hops and get all the hops for what they want to give. A holocaust of the 80,000 bales of hops on which brewers pin their present faith would mean the salvation of the Industry, along with restricted acreage and pro duction. If this can't be forced one way conditions arc bound to force some such solution," he said, Mrs. Hoven Greeted On 91st Birthday Dallas Mrs. P. A.

WORD ON FILBERTS COMES FROM PARIS The foreign agricultural service division of the U. S. bureau of agri cultural economics recently gave the following cabled information from Agricultural Attache Nielsen at the Paris office, on foreign filberts: The estimated filbert production is as follows: Short tons, unshelled: Italy 1935 estimate 16,000 tons, com pared with 25,000 tons in 1934; Spain 1935 estimate 25,000 tons, compared with 38,000 tons last year; Turkey 55,000 tons compared with 37,000 last year. Sicily production this year is ex pected to about equai that of last year but in the Naples district of Italy, which ts the most important to the United States, production this year is expected to be 50 percent less than last year. Remaining stocks of filberts In Italy and Tur key are of little Importance but Spain has a liberal supply.
