The hole represented the com

$'200,000 which a frightened
Mexican sheepherder buried

years ago.
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

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.

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.
