DELAY IN URGING CLAIM
MAY Be WITHDRAWAL
Interpretation of English Atti-
tude on Canal ISSue-Brit-
ish Papers Regrets.

In diplomatic circles here it is believed
for arbitration of the free tolls section
that the London foreign office eventually
will abandon that plan. 1t has been
stated that the foreign office was with
study of the act.
1t is believed that when the British
government comes to understand that the
free toll provision of the act applies only
to American coastwise trade. in which
British shipping cannot participate in
any event, the reason for an appeal for
arbitration will disappear.
Suggestion has been made that the pre-
1iminary steps taken by the foreign office
to safeguard British rights through the
canal, by the two notes presented by
Charge Innes. will be regarded as suffi-
cient, after all. as tending to deter Con-
gress from any further effort to extend
the free toll provision to foreign COM
merce. in which, of course, Great Britain
is vitally interested.
Regrets Hasty Action.
LONDON. September 4.-Strong regret
at the spirit in which the Panama ques-
ton is being discussed on this side of the
Atlantic is expressed today by the West
minister Gazette, the government organ,
whose editor. ]. Alfred Spender, is con-
sidered as possibly the next British am
bassador at Washington.
The charges of Yankee perfidy." it says
in an editorial. have had the pre-
else effect that might have been antici-
pated in the American retort that Europe
is strewn with examples of this alleged
perfidy. This only serves to generate
heat where light is wanted.
Diplomacy Comes First.
1t is likely, continues the Gazette, that
diplomacy will fail to arrive at a settle
ment, in which case the government S
course clearly is to ask for arbitration. 1t
is then pointed out that the United States
Senates ratification of an agreement to
arbitrate the question could not be OBJ
tanned until after the coming election.
In conclusion, il says President Taft is
so deeply committed to the principle of
arbitration that his refusal to submit the
question cannot be conceived.

BETTER FARMING CAUSE GAINS
Reports Arriving at Grand Forks Tell
OF Remarkable Success From
Demonstrations.

Reports of remarkable success with
demonstration plats and fields are be-
Ing received daily by the Better Farm
ing associations special service bu-
e a in Grand Forks. The demonstra-
ton feature is naturally one of the
most important branches of the asso-
cations work from the fact that it
acts as an object lesson in the various
communities and brings home to tre
farmer the result of scientific meth
DDS in a practical way. Secretary
Thomas Cooper reports that the ex-
perts, who are in different sections of
the state, have had no difficulty In Sc
curing the cooperation of farmers in
this branch of activity.
The demonstration plats or fields
are planned to show definitely the re-
suits of a certain rotation or of tillage
and seeding methods. These demon
STATIONS are necessarily cooperative.
h farmer who c%o-operates in this
work furnishes the use of his land and
does the work upon it as laid out by
the better farming expert. All crops
and all products, however, belong to
the farmer.
This feature of the associations
work embraces two distinct lines,
first, demonstration fields, and, sec
ond, demonstration plats. The dem
onstration field comprises an acre or
more, regarding which definite in
structions are given as to how certain
crops shall be raised or certain tillage
methods applied. On these fields the
methods of producing crops of eco
nomic Importance to the community
are shown. Naturally especial atten-
ton has been paid this year to al
falfa, clover and corn crops, winter
wheat, rye and the production of SUI
perior varieties Of common grains.
