He asked the committee for “sympathy, help” in his fight to prevent inflationary price and wage increases. He stated his unqualified oppesition to the Pace bill.

The part of Mr. Davis’ order most directly affecting Indiana farmers was an increase in the support price of yellow soybeans from the $1.70 "announced March 5 by Mr. Wickard to $1.80 a bushel. for the 1942 crop, however, remains at $1.66 a bushel. The incentive payments viously announced are 50 cents a bushel on the normal yield of the acreage of Irish potatoes planted betwen 90 and 110 per cent of each grower’s goal. - Also as announced by Mr. Wick-

In the latter method, pointed out, the administration could give the farmer the higher prices demanded in the Bankhead too.” He cited figures to against increased living costs which would bring on industrial wage increase demands and set in force a new spiral of inflation. Farm organization leaders appeared willing to accept such a solution with reluctance. They were far from happy over the results of their visit to the White House vesterday to demand unlimited authority for Davis in fixing prices. Edward J. O'Neal, president of the National Farm Bureau federation, protested against the president sending a lobby to the capitol to work against overriding his veto of the Bankhead bill. The president, it was said, admitted that he had sent the entire Congress of Industrial Organizations lobby to work against the Bankhead bill. Bill Now “Club in Closet”

In the argument which followed, O'Neal and President James Patton of the National Farmers union, who supported Mr. Roosevelt, reportedly

Leaders of the farm bloc have been cold to proposals by the office of price administration and the agriculture department for a ----gubsidy program.

‘Hacker Says.

Approximately 19,000 public schc @ children have enrolled in the vic-

tory garden program for the summer months, according to a report made by William H. Hacker, assistant superintendent of schools in charge of social service and special education. A recent survey of elementary schools shows that 8863 boys and 8325 girls—a total of 17,188 pupils —will participate in the program. Approximately 450 registrations are still expected from school 26. In

high school will have gardens. Teachers Co-Operate

To aid with the garden program, more than 100 teachers and principals have volunteered fo ‘visit gardens and serve as counsellors during the summer months. The school board also will provide five full-time supervisors: In all schools, Parént-Teacher associations are co-operating in the project 100 per cent, Mr. Hacker reports. Some associations have listed vacant lots in their communities and distributed them to applicants at the schools. Members will visit gardens and serve as counsellors. Garden exhibits will be held at most schools in the fall. Some, however, are planning exhibits of early crops before school is dismissed in June. :

Victory Garden Will Lower Your Living Cost Materially

Will a victory garden pay? Vegetables from the home garden will lower your cost of living. They can be grown and harvested for a fraction of the current market prices, according to garden experts. Retailers of vegetable produce must pay production, harvesting and transportation costs when they buy. In addition, they must pay overhead and make some profit on their investment. The home gardener eliminates the middle-man. e doesn't have to pay for labor, harvesting, transportation, overhead or profit.
