about 80.000 farmers, was prepared by
the crop reporting hoard, which said
It was to furnish Information which
would enable farmers to make such
adjustments In their plans for this
year’s plantings as may seerar desir
able. The board said the farmers' In
tentions to plant are not a forecast of
the acreage thnt actuolly will be
planted, but simply an Indication of
whot farmers had In mind to plant at
the time they made their reports, com
pared with the acreage grown by them
last year.

STATE NEW S
OF GENERAL INTEREST
Government Agencies Will
Continue to Boost.
Washington.—While Chairman Alex
ander Legge of the federal farm board
la striving to reduce wheat and other
surplus crop acreage«, other govern
ment agencies will continue to encour
age agricultural development In new
areas.
Officials of the other agencies, not
ably the reclamation bureau of tba
Interior department, are forced to go
forward with their programs In tha
hope of recovering the government’!
money
from
so-called
“revolving
funds.”
Mr. Legge a short time ago expressed
his opposition to the development of
new reclamation enterprises and will
have the co-opemtion of Interior de
partment officials In so far as pro
posals to authorize new projects are
concerned. But projects already au
thorized and for which congress Is ap
propriating about »10,000,000 annually
for new construction. Interior depart
ment men will keep going In order not
to Jeopardize the eventual collection
of more than »190,000,000 which Is sup
posed to be repaid to the government.
Although reclamation sponsors seek
to minimize total production In con
nection with a discussion of the agri
cultural surplus situation, they point
with considerable pride to the fact
that the value of all crops produced
on government Irrigated land In the
quarter of a century since the passage
of the reclamation act has amounted
to a billion and one-half dollars. Lat
est figures show an annual crop value
of »143,000,000, an Increase of »10.000.-
000 over the previous year. Of the
total about 6*4 per cent represents
wheat, which means that the govern
ment la furnishing water to produce
annually about »8,000,000 worth of the
crop which the government farm board
Is trying to reduce to stabilize prices.
The general land office, another
agency of the Interior department, also
Is ready to encourage development of
new areas. The latest annual report
of the commissioner of the general
land office shows the approval of 8,230
homestead entries for patenting.
Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M.
Hyde has taken cognizance of the
part played by the government In con
tributing to the present farm surplus
situation by Its land settlement activi
ties.
“Much of the economic hardship suf
fered by farmers has been caused by
tha rapid expansion of the area de
voted to farming,” said Secretary Hyde
In his recent annual report. “Our pub
lic land laws and policies have fav
ored expansion. Expansion has been
misdirected as well as overstimulat
ed.”

TO HOLD CONFERENCE
ON HIGHWAY SAFETY
Standardization of Regula
tions, Signals, Sought.
Washington.—The national confer
ence on street and highway safety,
which has been at work gathering In
formation and pondering ways and
means of reducing the heavy toll of
automobile accidents In this country,
will meet here late in Ma) by call of
Secretary of Commerce Robert P.
Lamont
Committees will report on local prob
lems that delny In many communities
tbe boped-for standardization of traf
fic rules and signals. The safety sit
uation will be discussed by the official
delegates from states and municipali
ties and from Interested organizations,
snd promising snd practical solutions
will be considered.
Evidence assembled leads the com
mittees to conclude that safety at
crossing both In city streets and ou
highways can he most readily In
creased by standardized regulations
and signals. Tills would Insure mo
torists and pedestrians knowing defi
nitely what Is expected of them and
what their rights are. Not only would
accidents be less likely to occur, but
congestion due to hesitating snd con
fused motorists would be greatly re
duced. Obstructions which prevent
motorists and pedestrians from gain
ing a reasonably long and clear view
i t crossings should be removed when
ever practically possible snd other
physical hazards shoald be Investi
gated and remedied, the committee«
have urged.
The variety of ways of making left
turn«, to which varione cities ding,
continues te be a problem for the
conference. The Inside turn on the
green light Is now most common, and
Is recommended In the model ordi
nance already approved by the con
ference.
Marking of traffic lanes where
streets are wide has been studied and
la found to be a useful device.
Two German Ship Line*
Form 50-Year Merger
Berlin.—Almost at the very moment
(he German liner Europa bad seized
the blue ribbon of the ocean the Ham
burg-America and the North German
Lloyd steamship lines announced they
had completed a 50-year co-operative
agreement to end competition.
The announcement was mnde In ■
Joint communique Issued In two cities
5y directors of the organisations—In
Ilamburg by Doctor Cuno of the Ham
burg-America line and In Bremen by
n err Selnken of the North German
Lloyd.
I t was Indicated that the
lgreement was a union of convenience
only.
Berlin.—Torn asunder by tbe Inter
minable squabbling among coalition
parties over the budget for 1930, th<
Mueller cabinet, tbe longest lived min
lstry In tbe history of the German re
public, finally gave up and presented
it* collective resignation to President
von Hlndenburg.
The Mueller cabinet tripped over tbs
problem of unemployment Insurance
which, with nearly 3,000,000 persons
now jobless In this country, has be
come a serious financial strain and
which almost precipitated the down
fall of the government a fortnight age
before It could pass the Young plan
through the reichstag.
Chancellor Mueller formed bis latest
and second cabinet on the ninth anni
versary of the signing of the treaty
of Versailles, or on June 28, 1928. This
so-called “grand coalition cabinet," In
cluding as It did the Socialists, Demo
crats, Centrists and Populists, has gov
erned Germany for exactly one yeai
and nine months.
Its greatest achievement and ths
one for which It probably will always
have an honorable place In German
history was Its co-operation with tbe
allies In patting the reparations prob
lem on a definite basts and so paving
the way for a wlndlng-up of the allied
occupation of the Rhineland and foi
the final liquidation of the World war.
President von Hlndenburg requested
Heinrich Bruenlng, tbe leader of the
Catholic, or Center party, to form •
new cabinet
The present political crisis In Ger
many has arisen from an issue in
purely domestic politic».
Whatever
government succeeds to the fallen
Mueller cabinet it can be counted
upon to continue the foreign policy ol
the present regime, which Is based
firmly on tbe lines laid down by tbe
late H err Stresemann.
Even application of the Young plan
will not be delayed In any way by
tbe present Interregnum. For Presi
dent von Hlndenburg, on the eve ol
the voting on the Young plan In the
reichstag. proclaimed his Intention ol
seeing to It that the budget for 1930,
which includes the raising of taxes to
meet reparations payments, should be
passed by April 1, on which date the
German financial year begins.
Asserts Democrat* W ill
W in Control of House
Washington.—The flat prediction
President Hoover will face the prob
lem of dealing with a Democratic con
trolled house during the Inst two years
of the present administration Is made
by Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
chairman of the Democratic congre»
•louai committee.
Tbe assertion was based upon a po
litical survey conducted by Byrns. He
predicted the Democrats would In
crease their number In the house In
the fall elections by 70 members. With
the 168 members now, they need only
53 additional votes to give them a to
tal of 218 seats Io the poupe of 435
members. Tbe Republicans now have
» majority of 102. with one Farmer-
Labor and several vacancies.
Byrns declared the “failure of the
administration's efforts to success
fully carry out one major project with
in an entire year, the economic de
pression, the obvious failure ot the
London arms conference, and natlon-
arlde unemployment conditions have
treated dissatisfaction throughout the
country and the voters will register
their protest this fall.”
