PRESIDENT AT w MEETING IN DEKALB --. 4fh<> McHenry County Farm Bureau wjas well represented at a recent meeting called by the Illiftois Agricultural association at DeKalb for the purpose of discussion of some of the more important problems confronting agriculture at this time. Two other meetings hid previously been held by the association, one in the southern part of the state and one in the central part. The. DeKalb meeting was attended by Boards of Directors of County Farm Bureau, members and others interested in the organization from the northern part of the state. There were over -500 present. One of the main speakers on the program wfts. Earl C. Smith, president of the Illinois Agricultural association. Mr. Smith, commenting on the Agricultural Adjustment Act, stated "that the Agricultural Adjustment Act is oar Act. This legislation Is the result of the 12-year fight of organized farmers for surplus control legislation. It contains all the principle and powers of the McKary- HaUgen bill, and more. We are serving notice her® and ndw on politicians and others that when they attack the Adjustment Act they are fighting against the interests of the farmers, against the restoration of parity prices for farm products. "We will resist such attacks with all the power and influence at our command. Commenting further, Mr. Smith stated: "It is one thing to talk about the Adjustment Act, and another hing to discuss its . administration, some mistakes undoubtedly have been made. The administrators of the Act themselves would probably do some things differently if they had to do them "over again. He advised farmers to keep in mind that the crop reduction program was a colossal undertaking. It was inevitable that mistakes wbuld be mate. "A great many people who are attacking the Act probably have never read it. It's- unthinkable that certain staunch advocates of the McNary- Haugen bill are now out on the platform condemtming the Agricultural Adjustment Act. They ought to know , that this act* makes it possible to use revenue from the processing tax to pay necessary losses incurred by exporting farm surpluses. "It's time for us to draw the line <• and tell unfriendly politicians that this Act shall not be repealed; and, _ secondly, that it must not" be ham- 1--strung and made unworkable through Amendments." Farm Bureau leaders applauded the Suggestion *na4e by the I. A. A. president that a simplified grain acreage reduction program be worked out with benefit payments for the acreage taken out of production. Under the suggested plan, farmers would be allowed to use their own judgment on the crops to be planted on the reduced acreage. Idle would be planted to legumes _for soil improvement. He suggested that this program be coupled with loans on graih in storage on the farm at around 75 per cent of the parity price. Processing taxes to make benefit payments might be spread over many farm commodities so that the load would fall lightly on each. Benefit payments wlould be worked out on the basis of the productive capacity of the land left idle- With grain prices raised ; and maintained at .parity price levels, ' if was pointed out, prices of livestock ami dary products would largely take care of themselves. . Other subjects discussed included the question of gas tax revenue from road building and tax limitations. The Farm Bureau is strongly, opposed to further diversion of i?as taxes from road building and favors definite property tax limitation by constitutional amendment. .Mr. Smith struck on the dole system which, he said, is fast developing cne of the gravest problems facing the American people. He expressed the belief that present administration of relief funds is encouraging idleness, that no money nor food should be given able-bodied men who refuse to work when work is available. Those present from McHenry county were Stanley Church, Huntley; Arthur Garlieb, Huntley; Henry Gar- * lieb, Huntley; Lester Siedschlag, Spring Grove; Arthur Beard, Woodstock; Cole Peterson, Woodstock; Melvin Stalheim, Woodstock, and, W. .A. iBerrington, Woodstock.

Pads.--A party of three Americans have gone to Siberia to search along the swamp-lands near the frontier fer, the last remains of the American doughboys who died in that side-line of the World war. The small expedition is under the command of Lieut. Col. Clifford L. Cor bin, of the American army. He was chief of the Graves registration service conducted by the United States War department in France until the work was recently taken over- by the American Battle Monuments commission. As the result of the trip, a score of Gold Star mothers who lost their sons in that desolate backwash of the world will find out within tha next few months whether the remains -can be located. "... Task Difficult. Lieutenant Colonel Corbin declared: "We have no idea how many of the bodies we will be able to find. They were buried at widely dispersed points near about ten villages In the Amur region. After fields are plowed under, and small crosses are lost or removed, the Job of locating a burial place years afterwards is no mean task. "That 1b why the War department will not ask the families of the slain soldiers what disposal they wish made of the remains until we have located the bodies. We shall avoid unneces; sary grief." Search in Summer. The bodies have to be located and exhumed during the summer, despite the swampiness of the land due to overflowing rivers. Winter lasts seven months out of the year therej and the land becomes frozen. The actual work will, be done by residents of the territory, under agree ment with the Soviet authorities. , The bodies "will all be brought through the U. S. S. R. to Leningrad and will be put on a ship there for Hamburg. At Hamburg, the j^offlns will be sent either to France or the United States, In accordance with the wishes of the families of the dead The American troops in the Archangel sector were from the Three Hundred and Tenth Engineers and the Three Hundred and Thirty-ninth infantry, mostly from Michigan. They left 222 of their comrades dead from various causes. About half of the remains were returned to the United States in September, 1918. During the summer of 1926, an additional 86 bod ies were returned to the United States Of the party of three Americans, only Russell H. Corbin has ever been to that region. He was there in 1929 The third member of the group Is Daniel Gibbs. Both Dutcher and Glbbs are ex-service men who have been employed with the American Graves registration service in Paris. CORN-HOG PAYMENTS ARE EXPECTED SOON The McHjenry County Corn-Hog Allotment "committee has forwarded . to Washington 400 of the McHenry coiiRty contracts. This leaves a total of r.inety-one contracts which will be sent within the next fewrt days. The . total benefit payments to 491 cooperating producers in the Corn-Hog program will be $151,000, less the administration "expenses- That expense is not expected to exceed 5 per V. Judging from contracts sent in from some of the other counties, McHenry county contract signers may expe«t their first payment during the two or three weeks? The first payment will consist of 15c per bushel on the corn and $3 a head on hogs. Reports from Washington indicate that efforts will be made to make the second payment according to schedule The second payment will consist of 15c a bushel on the com and $1 a head on hogs. The third payment will consist of $2 a head on the hogs. ( The seventeen farm supervisors appointed to measure the fields and check up on the compliance work in general are expected to complete their task during the next two weeks. A report on compliance will be nec- -- esiary before the second payment is made. v ; The McHenry County Allotment conimittee consists of E. F. Kuecker, Marengo/ Chairman^ E. C- Hughes.

Locke observatory shortly to be opened In the Davis mountains of west Texas. Its 80-inch telescope will be second In size to the 100-inch glass of the Mt. Wilson observatory. The difference in size does not denote an inferior instrument. It will be fully as powerful, for Its' special purpose of studying faint nebulae and discovering distant universes. Operation of the observatory for 30 years will be under joint direction of the University of Texas, which Is sup-, plying the plant, and the University of Chicago, which.will staff and operate It. Dr. Otto Stfuve of the Terkes ob servatory will direct its work. The observatory Is being erected with proceeds of . a residuary legacy left^to the University of Texas by the lafo W. J. McDonald, Paris (Texas) bankfer. . Its site is on a 6,791-foot elevation, chosen after months of atmospheric and temperature tests. ~ i A woman went to the bank to cash a check.
