'EFFICIENCY'MSOLVED
FROM SURPLUS CHARGES
BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 29. <£>)—
It is not efficiency but inefficiency
which creates crop surpluses, Prof.
B. H. Crocheron, director of agri
cultural extension . at California
University, declared in an answer
to criticism of the university’s ef
forts to increase the yield of stock
and acreages.
The getting of more pounds of
butterfat per cow, more eggs per
hen, more peaches per acre has not
been responsible for low market
prices, he declares. “It’s the igno
rant, inefficient producer who goes
1h>8 wild’ and plants over all crea
tion who creates the surplus,'
Crocheron says.
“Efficiency not only concerns
production. It implies proper plant
ing plans, the adjustment of pro
duction to consumption, and the
maintenance of an effictive mar
keting system.’’

CHICAGO, Oct. 28. (JP)—A 25 pel
cent advance in the price of wheat

chase of 20,000,000 bushels.

; COLLEGE TO KEEP EKS

! ] GRINNELL, la., Oct. 29. (JP)— j
r; Freshmen at Grinnell college here- j
51 after will wait four years before
j they learn what grades they re- i
ceived.
, College officials have decided
students place too much emphasis
911 comparative value of grades ra
il ther than on gaining knowledge,
j Students trying for high grade
\} averages, they said, are apt to de
’ J vote their time to easy courses
' I rather than more difficult subjects
"j which would aid them later in busi
I ness or professional life.
| Henceforth, therefore, Grinnell
\ students will be informed from
i' time to time if they are doing sat
[ j isfactory poor or failing work, but
1 j they won’t know until they grad
f j uate whether they obtained an "A”
i ! or “C” avorage.
