ACCEPTS MONEY BILL CHANGES Enactment Awaits Only Signatures of ' Rainey, Garner and : : ' ‘Rooséyelt ' The house accepted senate changes in the Roosevelt gold bill thus completing congressional action on the imon:;entous monetary measure. ~ Only the signatures of Speaker Rainey ang . Vice-President Garner were needed before the sweeping monetary bill is sent to the White House-for the President’s signature. _Action came in the house- when the bill was called up under unanimous consent request without a dissenting voice to its Immediate cunsideration. ' . The bill was approved without a record vote after a few minates of discusssion of what the senaie amendments were. : The principal change in the bill made in the senate was a threes-year limitation on stabilization fund operations. Speaker Rlainey before ,the session convened said the senate changes were acceptable to President Roosevelt. - 'Chairman Somers of the coinage committee at the request of Rep. McFadden, (Rep.) of Pennsylvania, oppoent of the bill sought to explain the changes made by the other chamber. ‘When Somers completed his explanation, McFadden said: . “The explanations are as clear as mud.” The members laughed, The bill in reviseg form was approved unanimously, not a voice being raised as the speaker said “without objection the senate amendments are agreed lo.” . The house took its action on the sweeping monetary bill as a matter of course. Members chaited as the clerk lead the senate changes. One democratic congresgman handed out large red carnations fe a 2w of the party ivaders. Executive approval of the biil will transfer to the treasury legal title to all monetory gold in the country, including he $3,600,000,000 ovned by the federa. reesrve banks. ' The president is expected to accompany his signature with an executive order reducing the gold content of the dollar to a point between 50 and 60 cents. This will provide a devaluation profit for the government. From' the federal reserve gold alone a profit of from -$2,160,000,000 to $3,600,000,000 will be realized. Additional profit would accure from the treasury’s gold. Of the total profits, $2,000,000,000 will go to Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau, as a fund to be used in |secret foreign exchange and securities operations to weaken the dollar and stabilize its value.

In congressional circles the President was expected to.make some new move in the near future to enhance the price of silver by broadening the provision for its use as money. This expectation was based on the formidable strength mustered by silver advocates on an inflamationary amendment to the gold bill sponsored by Senator Wheeler (Dem.) of Montana.

SHARE RENTING IS DISCUSSED

85 Per Cent of 55,000 Indiana Rented ~ Farms In Hands of Tenants In | 1980 :

(By O. G. Lloyd Farm Management Department Purdue University.) 1 In 1930 approximately 85 per cent of the 55,000 Indiana rented farms were in the hands of share tenants. The census classifies suck farms as “other than cash rented farms” This ‘means little for the grain share meth. od of renting differs greatly from the stock-share method. Grain renting is frequently the most exploitative of any form when followed on rich black soils which do not readily show signs of depletion. Such grain-share landlords give their farms Mttle supervi. sion and prefer no interest in livestock ownership and a small invest. ment is permanent improvements. iStock-share landlords, on the other hand, show their farm interest by sharing in the ownership of livestock and in furnishing adequate improvements to take case of such livestock. Stock-share landlords believe they share i°nevery dollar made on the farm. They are more apt to furnish good improvements when the livestock using them may be largely reSponsible for the rental received. ~ On the whole, stock-share renters and landlords co-operate more fully than those following other methods of renting.. It requires a little higher type of management to follow the “give and take” necessary in stock share renting. “In some parts of the state more than halfl of the rented farms are stock-share. In the state as a whole however only one out of every four share rented farms are stock-share, wa Stock-share renting is a favorite method of active retreating from the operation of the farm. This permits the landlord to turn over most of the physical labor to younger shoulders and at the same time retain supervision of the management of the farm especially the marketing end of the business.

A substantial reduction in corn—the main feed supply for hogs — will help bring the supply of hogs into better balance with effective demand:.and it will help raise the purchasing power of corn. If corh production is not reduced by an amount sufficient to compensate for the reduction in hogs, corn supylies available for other purposes will increase substantially; corn prices will decline
