Benefits 5 New New Federal ~ Project Outlined to Hay Association. ‘There is no better instrument to cope with drought than the "New
- Deal's soil ' conservation program, J. P. Cox, Crop Replacement Chief
| of the AAA, told National Hay Asso-
ciation members here today. In a strong defense of the present agricultural program, Mr. Cox said: “At the present time, with more Iarmers on the land, there is too : a proportion of acreage in grains and cultivated cops, drought is much more severe in its effects. Hence, the organized methods of the AAA conservation ogram are necessary to deal with e situation.” The forty-third national convenon which opened in the Hotel Lin-~ coln yesterday with approximately 150 hay dealers, wholesalers, and shippers attending was to close this afternoon with election of officers and a report of the resolutions committee.
Great Acreage Blamed
The direct cause for severe losses from drought and floods is the growing of too great an acreage of corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco and other soil depleting crops, Mr. Cox said. - “By Increasing the acreage, in line with sound farm practice, of alfalfa, sweet clover and established pasture and meadow crops as adapted, individual farmers and communities as a whole are placed in a condition to withstand seasonal and longcontinued drought much more effectively,” he said. “The program is further beneficial in that it was designed to prevent erosion not only by wind but by water. Extremes in drought are often followed by extreme floods,” he added.
Crops Deplete Soil
: Mr. Cox pointed out that while erosion by wind and water has caused the greatest loss, soil chemists have shown that the removal of crops takes away large quantities of phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium * and magnesium. Unless the elements of fertility are returned, farm lands will become impaired in the ‘short space of several generations of - extractive farming, he asserted. . * “This practice of extractive farming is prevented with the present soll conservation program which bases the granting of awards on shifts from soil depletive crops to soil conserving crops,” he said. “It is a program aimed toward balanced farming, beginning with the miuch needed job of building up: and conserving our land. It is a program aimed toward plenty, a program that assures the farmers. of the future and the American public of the future a greater potential . supply of fertility in our cultivated
~~ | land, and hence a sure and adee supply of crops and lvestock |
| a o food and clothing as needed.”

Roosevelt's Policies Questioned by Mendenhall.
Hancock County Republicans are to conduct the meeting of the Irvington Republican Club next Monday night. A Madison County
Are
meeting is to be held later by the
Irvington organization. : The New Deal was attacked last night by Maurice L. Mendenhall, Indiana manager of the pre-conven-tion drive by Frank Knox for the presidential nomination, at a meeting of club members. “The New Deal,” Mr. Mendenhall declared, “would make us believe that its disciples nave discovered a new theory of mathematics which makes it possible for the government to subsidize every group and class in the land.” ioe
Questions Policies
“Mr. Roosevelt has said that the only thing we have to fe#r is fear; then why has he done so much to increase the fear which rises in the hearts of millions of brave, loyal and true Americans?” He called Postmaster James Parley the “Clyde Beatty of American politics” because “he cracked the whip over the party’s national convention.” Mr. Mendenhall said the Democratic national convention “merely went through a well-staged act.” “Compare, if you will, the doings of the Democratic convention. Compare its pay roll enthusiasm, with the Republican convention in Cleveland. The platform adopted at Cleveland truly and honestly represents the ideas and reflects the sentiments of the delegates to the convention,” he said.
Predicts G. O. P. Victory
The G. O. P. platform, -he asserted, will guide the nation out of the “dismal swamp of fear, uncertainty, bureaucracy and dictatorship.” He predicted President Roosevelt
.in November will: be -the “most sur-
prised: and disappointed: man ever to be removed. from the . White House.” -
