OF NATIONS
BAD DEBTS
Secretary of State Knox Is
Achieving EnViabIe Rep
utatiOn in that Role.

Washington, Nov 27.-Secretary
Knox is rapidly achieving distinction
as collector of bad national debts
For the first time in many decades
Central and South American coun-
tries who have gone gaily on making
history without giving much atten-
ton to Office details are beginning to
look back over the old files to see
whether or not there is anything ow-
ing American citizens, II there is, il
is to be expected that a new state
ment will be forthcoming from
Washington with the postscript:
PLEASE remit. Knox"
For this reason there is apprehen-

tient to the point of lethargy. The
claim was paid-amounting, all told,
to nearly million dollars.
Secretary Knox then turned to
Panama, where the police had a
fashion of assaulting and mauling
American sailors. The result was
that the little republic paid $4,000
to some that had been mistreated,
and to the relatives of one Ameri-
can who was killed.
A short time ago Honduras and
Salvador, who had played a high
hand with an American banker, were
told politely to explain and pay dam
ages. Within the last week Chile
has been given ten days within which
to settle claim that has been stand
ing thirty years or arbitrate. If
there is no action Chile will be
blacklisted
There are many more old claims
in the departmental files. These are
being dug out of their dusty places
of repose and are being furnished
up for the inspection and considera-
tion of Mr.. Knox, collector of nation
al bad debts.

sion among the delinquents. The old
familiar defense that the United
States is disturbing the peace of these
nations and bullying them into pay
ing questionable claims no longer
serves as 'shibboleth for the hapless
ones. The United States is the most
patient of creditors. Nor can the
cry that it is preparing to swallow
up the smaller countries find re-
sponse. Former secretaries of state
have gone to great lengths in assur-
inf the Latin-American republics that
the United States has no desire to
add to it's outlying territories. The
course of action followed in Cuba
set the seal on this policy.
So earnestly was this program of
persuasion carried out that some of
the republics grew very careless, feel
ing that the United States would not
mar that splendid design of PAN
American progress by taking up a
paltry claim of a million or two on
behalf of some American citizen who
had been ousted from concessions or
run out of country after his prop
erty had been cOnfiscated.
There came a time for discrimin-
alton and Secretary Knox discrimin-
ated He singled out Nicaragua first
as the most conspicuous of the coun-
tries which ignored its bills. After
some futile negotiations Secretary
Knox sent very curt note. saying
pay up or arbitrate in thirty days,

Big CROP
s. B. Palmer Of the South Side
Reports Of So Bushels of Oats
to the Acre Weighing
a lbs.

S. b. Palmer, one of the most
progressive scientific farmers in
eastern Montana and well known
in Culbertson, was in town yester-
day from his big farm in Dawson
County about 40 miles south of
Culbertson and made the Search
light call.
Mr.. Palmer, his wife and daugh-
ter all took desert claims some
years ago and proceeded to re-
clam the land in proper shape. He
procured the necessary surveying
instruments and learned how to
use them, so that all his bitches,
laterals and feeders are laid out
according to the lay Of the land.
He finished threshing last week
and had great time finding place
for storing his grain. he filled
his large granary to the top, also
several stables and sheds as well
as I6xI6 room in his residence.
After all this was done the gram
was still coming from the thresher.
so he took the aprons from several
binde RS and with posts, ETC., i'm
provised a temporary granary for
the balance.
Mr.. Palmer gave the following
report of the remarkable yield OF
oats and flax on his farm.
Oats on new ground, following
flax last year. averaged SO bushels
to the acre from 40 acre field
This held was double dlsked last
fall after flax crop was removed
and this spring before seeding ii
was thoroughly irrigated for two
weeks from main bitches BY plow-
ing laterals, then disked, seeded
aud dragged. There were no
weeds-all was clean oats, "a lbs.
to the bushel.
The entire crop of oats on old
and new ground averaged 70
bushels to the acre. All was SINH
larly treated with flooding in the
spring before seeding.
The average yield of flax on
breaking, irrigated as above, was
II bushels to the acre, and on
land not irrigated was IL bushels
to the acre. The wheat crop was
similarly treated and yielded DC
cordingiy.
This all goes to show that farm
work cannot be too thorough. In
vestigation on as good land no,
irrigated and less well titled,
with more or less noxious weeds
shows returns not more than halt
or one third as great.
