banking agency.
Fullest attention to the question
of crop Insurance,
More progress In Introducing new
crops and developing greater domes
tic demand and different uses,
"I am far more Interested In stelng
farmers paid for growing the things
we think we need than In paying
them for not raising the things we
think we don't need,'' he said amid
laughter and applause.
He also advocated a federal-state
program linking soil and water con
servation under local administration
In the hands of the farmers; freeing
the farm "and the rest of the coun
try from the Impending dangers of
ruinous debt and taxation," of "ade
quate credit at reasonable rates, to
capable tenants and experienced
farmers, for the purchase or refin
ancing of farm homes."
"The security of our social and eco
nomic ays tern, Landon concluded
"real upon our having mllllonc and
millions of Individual farmers and
home owners."
'These are the people that give ua
security and give us our spirit of In
dependence as a nation. We must not
let them bo driven to the wall."
In aummlr.g up, tho nominee de
clared: "You wilt ice that everything I have
said points to but one end that Is
the protection of the family type
farm. This philosophy runs like a
thread through the Republican plat
form. Hut you will not find H

DAY EQUALLY
Today was the first day of autumn
and the official end of summer.
The sun moved across the equator
today In the autumnal equinox,
starting Its downward Journey south
of the Imaginary globe-blsectlng line.
Today the sun was supposed to
have risen due east and to set due
west, dividing the day equally Into
daylight and dark as It remains
above the horizon for 13 hours.
At least that Is the theory , but
practically astronomy does not work
out quite so precisely. There is some
variation and In this locality today
there will be eight minutes more of
sunlight than of dark. The aun
rose this morning at 5:59 and will
set at fl:07. Not until Saturday will
there be an almost exact division of
night and dav Then the sun will
rise at 0:03 and set at 6:03.
The autumnal equinox had no un
settling Influence on Modford weath
er, official forecast being for fair to
night and tomorrow, not much
change In temperature. Anyway the
old belief about the fall equinox
causing ell aorta of stormy weather
la branded by astronomers as a lot of
superstitious hooey.
