The king not only selects officers for his own household but for those of his sons as well. Attendants to royalty In nearly every: case are distinguished members of the army, navy, or air force.

L0® ons Tb« Federal farm adjustment program is partly guided by the belief that export of agricultural commodities wilt not soon recover Its volume of five'or ten years ago, in the opinion of F. D. Farrell, President Kansas Agricultural College, writing in the August issue of the American Bankers Association Journal. - "Nobody knows whether the farm adjustment program will succeed," writes Mr. Farrell. "Its sponsors de- * scribe it frankly as an experiment It seeks to socialize agriculture at least to the extent that farmers. In what,is believed to b«t the 'public interest, will restrain their production activities and that processors, distributors and, consumers will contribute something toward paying Jtarmerr for exercising this restraint. The adjustment programs definitely are baked on the fact that prices are determined primarily by supply and demand. They also are based on the assumption that the export business in agriculturalcommodities wil] not soon return to-its voUtme of five or teh years ago., ^ ' •. v. " • . Dependence on Public Support ^; T; "Thi plan offers \vheat -prie# Jit-, surance for 1933, 1934 and. 1935. for the domestically consumed portion bt the wheat crop. The insured price is to be sufficiently high to give the domestically consumed portion of the wheat crop pre-war purchasing power. If the plan is as effective as its spon< sors hope it will be, the reduction in supply may influence wheat prices so that the entire wheat crop Will ha pre-war purchasing power. - "If the adjustment program succeeds. Its launching probably will mark the end of an era of extreme individualism in agriculture in the United States," says Mr? Farrell. . , "Recent fundamental changes led Secretary Wallace to say, "What we really have to do is to change the whole psychology of the people ot the United States.' This is a large order. Jt involves the whole program of farm 'adjustment as well as the larger national economic program,..of which farm adjustment Is a part. If the people decline to participate In the program to the extent necessary to give the experiment a fair trial, we shall never know whether farm adjustment as now proposed would have succeeded or not it it had been given a fair trial."
