HOLLYWOOD HUNT FOR BURIED GOLD NETS AGED WATCH Hollywood, Nov. 28. P)A hole eight feet deep nnd a rusty watch stood out lodnv as the tangible results of liollvwood howl s treasure hunt. The hole represented the com bined labors of a half-dozen men yesterday. The watrh turned tin at the six-foot level.

Henry Jones, Seattle mining engineer, is directing the hunt. Frank Hoekstra operates the "doodlebug." a complicated col lection of wires, electrodes, dials and a big needle which supposedly agitates in the pres ence of buried metal. It "doodled" fron the hunters pressed deeper, and at times seemed barely able to contain itself. A deputy sheriff sat by watch ing the proceedings assigned to protect the county's 50 percent of anything found. The bowl is public property and Jones agreed to split any profits. The only Island resort In Eu rope which is uninhabited Is the Scottish Island of Stiif Thou sands visit it annually but no one lives there. Washington, Nov. 28. (Pi The agricultural adjustment ad ministration today set the 1940 goal for soil-depleting crops at 270,000,000 to 285.000,000 acres, the same as this year. It increased the acreage for wheat and cut the rate of soil conservation payments on that grain to 9 cents a bushel from this year's 17 cents. The corn acreage goal was lowered slightly and the pay ments to cooperating farmers set at 10 cents a bushel, com pared with 9 cents this year. 'Insofar as authorized funds permit," said R. M. Evans, AAA administrator, "the 1940 pro gram continues the efforts of farmers toward abundance for the nation's consumers, conser vation of our vital soil re sources, and parity income from agriculture. "With it, farmers are pre pared as never before to meet the shocks imposed by war in Europe and further demoraliz alton of world trade. They have in the program a means of avoiding costly maladjustments such as resulted from the World war." The 1940 program will offer more opportunity for soil con servation than did this year's, officials said, largely through revised rates of payment de signed to encourage practices not normally carried out on many farms. Common prac tices, such as seeding alfalfa, will be given less credit. At normal yields, officials said, the 1940 program would provide ample supplies for all domestic needs, export require ments, and an adequate reserve. Payments for wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and rice will be supplemented by parity pay ments from a special $225,000, 000 appropriation if the 1939 average price proves to be less than 75 per cent of parity. Those payments are designed to lift the farm purchasing power to the level it occupied before the World war. Portland Portland. Ore., Not. 28.
