V. M. 'ole and seven members of the crew f the American schooner, James M. [all, arrived here today on the teamship West Canon, which rescued hem 250 miles southeast of Cape lay, N. J. Virtually abandoning hope of ever eing picked up alive, the shipwreck d crew^ used its remaining dry match riday* night to set fire to a dish pan f gasoline in a last desperate attempt > make known its plight. The result nt flare was seen from the Westj lanon bound here from Java, which nmediately headed for it and took ff the mien, who were suffering from old and hunger. The schooner, which left Charles >n, S. C., for Bostbn,, January 5, ith a cargo of lumber, was aban oned. She registered 491 tcyis 'and 'as owned in Boston. Captain Cole said he encountered eavy gales and rough seas soon after aving Charleston. They increased in orce and became so violent that the essel sprung a leak and began to fill rith water. All hands were put to rork at the pumps, but they could lake little headway because of the errific pounding to which the craft ras subjected. Finally conditions be ame so bad that the cap'tain ordered 11 men to lash themselves to the atch of the cabin, which was the nly part of the deck structure to re lain above the surface. Except forj irief intervals When a man would isk the fury of the* seas to send up listress signals, they remained that iray for two days and nights* with lOthing to eat or drink.

Discussion within the conference is expected to develop whether the proponents would rec ommend that the insurance be car ried by the farmers cooperatively, by private companies, or through gov ernment aid. Hail insurance has already been tried by tobacco growers and storm nsurance is in force in some sections of the West, but for the first time experts expect to see the question presented for an insurance against all crop risks. Crop insurance has been tested to a certain extent, it was declared, both by mutual farmers' companies and by private insurance companies, and agricultural experts declare it has proven successful. Balancing production with con-4 gumption is another topic which the onference leaders expect to see come up. The relations of the supply of ?srops and food stuffs to markets has long been studied and suggestions which are likely to'come from con ference delegates, it was said, range all the way from the old acreage lim tation to a more careful study of world production and consumption. Along with this would 'go crop sur veys in America which would enable the producers, in the opinions of ag ricultural leaders, in advance of crop planting, to guage the consumption demand. * The importance of developing sta tistical information was pointed out by delegates in discussing this sud ject. They said that for a number of years, figures on production * have .been fairly complete but similar data on consumption have been shy.
