These sturdy boats were 17 feet long and equipped with sledlike double runners for passage over ice when possible. They were equipped nlth oars, sails and ice hooks and the larder contained fresh water and am biscuit. The boats crossed in packs of six or elgmt boats each headed by a "Commodore."

Topsy-Turvy Farm Surplus Situation in United States

By Bob Whitehead KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—The 2 y-turvy farm surplus situation in the United States might be fairly characterized as “the plague of plenty." Take wheat as an example among the huge surpluses of corn. butter, cheese. dried milk. cotton. harley. rye and other products. oarley. rye and other products. A flow of grain from» the wheat- iands has almost swamped stor- age facilities and has even been .-lumped into holds of ships to save the grain. Workers are busy on the building of new storage places In save the new crop overﬂow that soon will come to market. Already the federal government has had to buy —- or is committed in buy — more than 800.000.000 bu- zhels of wheat. Under the present farm program if a farmer can't sell his wheat in the market place. the government will take it off his hands at an average price of I210 a bushel. In the great wheat country of Colorado 10 producers in two rounties delivered 281.211 bushels of wheat from their 1952 crops. They turned it over to the govern- ment in exchange for federal loans totalling 1805.477.

May Pay In Wheat

These loans were the non- recourse loans under which the izrower may forfeit his wheat crop in full payment for the loan if the market price is less than the loan value.

Wheat is one of the basic crops Wllported at the rigid level of 90 per cent of parity. Parity is the Price fixed by law intended to give farmers a fair price for their products in relation to the things ‘hf-‘Y must buy.

How much does it cost the farmers to produce $2.20 worth of wheat?

You hear private estimates of “heat being produced for as low ll-$80 cents a bushel by highly efficient farmers. But the depart- ment of agriculture hasn't ven- lured into this field. So costs are the unknown factor.

One thing is certain: The face of farming is changing. in many ffﬂlonl it's big business. The

larmer" is the big corporation “"91 131! acreagel. mechanized Operations and vast production.

level. would Make Allotments Suppose $2.20 was the

that the U. S. could consume only 500,000,000 bushels out of a 1.000.- 000.000 bushel crop.

A farmer receiving an allotment of 1.000 bushels would got a certifi- cate guaranteeing him $2.20 a bu- shel for this wheat. But if he pro- duced anything above the 1.000.- bushcl allotment. this additional wheat would go at the world price. Some think this plan woud upset the world market and perhaps arouse other nations to take re- taliatory measures. Some fear a glut of wheat from uncontrolled production would cause farmers to feed wheat to hogs and cattle. thus upsetting the market for other stock feeds.

Flick Demands Enforcement Of New Baseball Rule

NEW YORK. (AP) — Baseball commissioner Ford I-‘rick Wednes- day demanded strict enforcement of the new rule requiring play- on to take their gloves off the playing field with them when they come in to bat and threat- ened to forfeit ball games. if ne- cessary, as a penalty.

Frlck’l wlrning was in the form of a bulletin sent to all major league clubs and minor

presidents. .

The commissioner said he was disturbed about persistent reports that various leagues and clubs were going to make their own interpretation of the rule.

Although Frick did not mention any specific leagues, it was re-

.. ported in Florida that the Ameri-

can League hsd agreed by a 7-1 vote to oppose the rule and make its own interpretation if the rules committee failed to make changes.

Warren Giles, National League president, had issued a bulletin to, all his clubs, laying down a policy of strict enforcements.

Frick pointed out that he holds no brief for or against the par- ticuler rule but he does hold that the rules are “not subject to change at the whim of the in- dlvidual or the club."

Yanks look like Same Old Team

“It looks like the opposition is going "to keep shooting lefthanders at us all the time." the Yankee manager said today while his team took advantage of the Good Friday schedule break. “I'd be a sucker if I didn't load the lineup with rlghthaxui hitters."

The Yankees and all other major leaguers were idle Friday because of the holiday. Action resumes on all fronts today.
