CORRIGAN’S CONQEU9T
A hearty son of the old sod has
again demonstrated the luck of the
Irish by flying a plane of ancient
vintage across ’the Atlantic with
no instruments. Just as the world
was feeling satisfied that aviation
has invented equipment that would
make ocean flying possible because
of the success of Howard Hughes
an Irish lad jumps the ocean with
none of it.
The talk of taking away his
license is silly, of course, and is
merely done to save the faces of
important beauracrats who must
uphold their rulings. The people
would rise up en masse if Corri
gan was punished for his bravery,
or dare devilish conduct. Call it
wbgt you will.
We like such lads We need more
of them—more men who will not
be stifled by petty rules and the
fears of failure. The timid souls
who would sell their liberty for
promised security are not for us:
give us the shock headed kids with
the glint of conquest in their eye
who hold life of no value unless It
contains something for the spirit.
Hurrah for Corrigan.
Earl H. Fehl, former county
judge of Jackson county, lost his
appeal to the supreme court. The
state’s high tribunal has ruled
that his committment to the hos
pital for insane was entirely reg
ular. His ultimate release, ac
cording to the court, will be up to
the superintendent of the insti

The effect that the loan price on
wheat will make is still being de- r
bated whenever two or more farm- .
era get together. General opinion
is that the loan rate will peg the
price of wheat and that few sales
will be made above the govern
ment figure.
It is estimated that farmers 1
who have “cooperated” with the *
government this year will receive
around 70 cents per bushel for j
their crop. Those who have not ’
cooperated will get twelve cents
less if they sell. As a rule it is
the most successful faim ers who <
have not gone along with the gov-
ernment rulings; those who own ,
their farms and are financially ,
■table. Theae men will probably ‘
be able to hold their wheat until '
it is saleable or ui buy stock to
feed it to.
This wheat, along with ythe
government’s wheat, will remain
on hand to flood any rising market
and depress the price until dis
posed of just as did the farm board
wheat of a few years ago. The
insurance wheat will help build
up the surplus Then if an aver
age crop is grown in 1939 on the
55,000,000 acres permitted we will
have the same sized surplus as
this year because the arrangements
are all made to perpetuate it in
stead of dispose of it.
When the cut is made to 55,000,-
000 acres the farmer who has been
in busineas (for forty years will be
hard hit for the new entrant into
the wheat business will have part
of his production sewed up by ]
government edict. Many will not
qualify which will make it almost
impoerible to keep the acreage
within the limit.
It is tending toward a situation
in which part of the farihera grow
wheat and the othera are paid for
not growing wheat instead of
a situation in which each farmer
is paid to take out a percentage
of his wheat. Farmers may soon
have the choice of staying in busi
ness or accepting payment to get
out.
This may resolve itaelf into a
sensible plan. If selection is made
of the land to be taken from
wheat production and if the own
er of the land is encouraged tq
grow- some saleable crop instead of
wheat, the balance of agriculture
may be restored instead of being
further upset as it has been in
recent years.
