st. Paul. April 9-In an attempt to
mobilize the agricultural resources of
Minnesota. Dean A. +. Woods Of the
College Of Agriculture. has instructed
a score of experts to work out a
scheme to increase agricultural
production. s.s.
The conservation of breeding stock
WOOL the saving of food supplies. the
production of larger crops Of cereals
and the regulation Of agricultural la
Dor are the chief steps contemplated.
Sends Instructions.
After conference of the chiefs of
the various divisions of the university
farm, Dean Woods recommended
structed superintendent of expert
mental farms. county agents and
teachers in agricultural high schools
to be ready to aid the mobilization.
The conservation of breeding stock,
especially swine, sheep and cattle is
advocated as the best means Of in
creasing the meat supply. Lambs
may be kept until next spring. This
will increase the wool crop of the
state 80 per cent.
Would Grow More Corn.

growing of more corn for feed.
The division of veterinary science
has been instructed to increase the
supply of tested serum to be ready
to take care Of possible outbreaks Of
cholera.
Potato Seed Adequate.
With enough potatoes on hand to
supply seed for an increased acreage
in Minnesota, Dean Woods is advo-
eating the holding of these supplies
until Minnesota growers are salts
fed. n.
Dean Woods. in urging the produc-
ton of more corn. pointed out that
it supplies twice as much food to the
acre as any other crop, and is the
best feed to produce a good meat
supply. There is a good supply Of
seed on hand. he finds. Samples test
ed in the seed laboratory give 95 per
cent terminating power.
To Register Farm Hands.
A system for registering agricul-
tural 1aborers above and below the
ages asked for enlistment in the
army. has been suggested by Dean
Woods to the state labor bureau.
If the labor bureau cannot work out
the scheme efficiently. part Of it may
be carried on by the extension di-
vision of the college of agriculture.

pathy between the Guatemalans and
the MeXicanS there has existed for
years.
If Cabrera does place his country in
the list it is expected that Nicaragua
will quickly follow and that the long,
standing differences between those two
countries and Salvador and Honduras
may be swept away in a desire to
present united Central America.
An odd situation would be left in
the position of Costa RIGA. There a
new government just has been INSTALL
ed and has apparently no opportunity
of recognition by the United States
FREDERICK Tinoco. who overthrow the
government of Alfredo Gonzalez in
January was elected president on April
]. Immediately after the overthrow
of Gonzalez the United States govern.
ment announced that it would not
recognize the de facto government and
would not recognize Tinoco if elected.
Some anxiety has been manifested
in the probable position Tinoco would
take but in case the executives of the
other four Central American govern
ments join in the war any obstruction
Tinoco might set up would be of little
consequence.
American officials continue to watch
closely every move in Mexico but little
real anxiety remains. 1t is believed
now that German Vaccinations there
have failed and that the worst that
may be expected from that quarter is
declaration Of neutrality.
Investigation by officers Of the Am
erican army showed that the reports
of German reservists crossing from
the United States into Mexico have
been exaggerated and that the number
crossing the Rio Grande since the
breaking of relations with Germany
up to ten days ago was not more than
one hundred.

Many South American
Nations to Enter War
(By Associated Press.)

Washington April 9. - Early en-

against Germany is regarded here as
practically certain. Brazil. aroused by
the sinking of her steamship Parana is
expected to become a belligerent this
week and 1t is assumed that her lead

Reports of divided opinion in Argen-

CONGRESS MAY PUT FOOD CONTROL
UNDERAGRICULTURA DEPARTMENT
SECRETARY HOUSTON ASKS APPROPRIATION TO
PUT THE OPERATION INVESTIGATION BY COMMISSION

The governments program for
food control during the war has been
put before congress by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston in communi-
cation to the senate asking for power
for the department of agriculture to
lake direct supervision of food pro-
duction and distribution in the Unit
ed States and requesting 25,000,-
600 appropriation for putting the
plan into operation.
Authority was asked for the Coun-
Gil of National Defense in an emer-
gency to buy and sell foodstuffs and
to fix maximum or minimum prices.
AS outlined to the senate the gov
ernment's plan is to make complete
survey of the country's food supply
to determine its ownership and dis
1ribution, then if necessary to IL
cense and control the operations of
all concerns engaged in the manufac-
ture of food or feed, agricultural i'm
plements and all materials required
for agricultural purposes. Authority

Tnent to take over and operate the
concerns if it appears that course is

gestion of transportation lines.
In its plan for an investigation of
the present food supply the agricul-
ture department has arranged fo1
the help of the federal trade com
mission which with the department
was directed by President Wilson
early in the year to make an inquiry
to ascertain the amount of food
stocks and to determine if the anti
trust laws have been violated in
food production, storage and distri-
button. That inquiry has been halted
for lack of an appropriation. The
present congress, however, has voted
money for conducting 1.-THE house

Trade Commission to Make Inquiry.
The two houses are expected to get
together on an amount to be appro-
priated for this specific inquiry and
as soon as it is available the trade
commission will proceed. The com
mission already is laying plans for
the inquiry and have called into con-
ference more than a dozen senators
and representative for suggestions.

afterwards, was that the commission

demanded by the public interest.
Giving the government power to
deal directly in. foodstuffs probably
would make its application unneces-
sary, Secretary Houston declared, as
its very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal. He proposed that
the government should have full dis
erection, saying it might be wise if an
emergency arose to fix prices on a
single commodity.
Market grades and classes of farm
products, Secretary Houston said, is
one of the chief needs of the country
to insure proper conditions in pro-
ducing and marketing farm products.
Authority was also asked for the
department to require of transporta-
ton companies preference for the
movement of farm machinery, seeds,
fertilizers and materials that enter
into the processes of food production.
Measures for Equal Distribution.
Enlargement of the market news
service of the department was rec
commended as a means of insuring

Was an Especially Good Swimmer
Must Have Suffered Cramps.
Dewitt Forbis, aged 10, of Smith
vile, student at Oglethorpe univer-
sity of Atlanta, was drowned Tues
day afternoon at 4 o'clock in Silver
Lake, near the college campus. Young
Forbis was in swimming with num-
Der of companions when he suddenly
sank and did not come up again. His
companions, with two expert swim
mers that work at the lake, swan to
the spot and dived for his body, but
failed to recover it.
The body was later recovered,
after the lake had been dragged at
the spot where the body sank, and a
pulmotor was used in an effort to re
suscitate the young man. For four
hours physicians, aided by members
of the faculty and the student body,
worked on the young man, but all
efforts failed.
Cramps Caused Death.
1t is believed that the young man
was taken with cramps, as he was an
expert swimmer. Just before he was
drowned he was swimming with his
head under water. Suddenly his arm
shot up into the air and then disap-
peared.

BROWN OPPOSES
FIXING OF PRICES
BLAMES SPECTATORS FOR THE
PRESENT CONDITIONS, AND
CITES RECENT INSTANCES.

ATLANTA.-Plans to eliminate
speculation from the marketing of
food products will be urged on the
federal trade commission in Wash
Ington this week at a conference
representing the agricultural depart
ments of the various states, one of
the purposes of which is to deter
mine whether or not the commission
shall recommend federal regulation
by the fixing of maximum and mini
mum prices of food and fuel.
Commission of Agriculture J. ].
Brown and Lem B. Jackson have
been selected by Governor Harris to
represent Georgia.
Mr.. Brown will oppose price regu-
lation by the government, contending
that the recent report of food com
mission sitting in Washington clearly
demonstrated that the trouble with
prices Of foodstuffs was the manipu-
lation by spectators whereby the
consumer was compelled to pay an
exOrbitant price in the benefits of
which the producer participated very
little. Discussingthe subject, he cited
onions as an instance of unjust spec
ulatiOn. They sold as high as So, he
said, and three days later without any
chance whatever in the visible supply
fell to 1925.
The Case of Cotton.
Stop speculative buying" said
MIR. Brown, "and allow the legitimate
operation of the law of supply and
demand and the problem will solve it.
self"
Mr.. Brown cited the experience of
the southern farmer at the outbreak
OF the war in Europe when the sug-
gestiOn was first made to secure gov
eminent aid in coping with it.
The government refused to insure
cotton in the hands of the farmer"
ne continued, ''but as soon as it had
been corralled by the spectators the
government promptly insured it and
the prices jumped. One concern, do
ing business in the city of Atlanta,
not member of which ever grew a
iock of cotton, cleaned up 100000
on one purely speculative transac-
ton, more than doubling the 6A
cents it paid for the cotton.
I'VE are going to insist that the
federal trade commission go after the
Spectator. In any plan of economic
distribution of what we grow he is
not needed. Let the governmental
agencies introduce the producer and
consumer to each other and the situa-
ton will naturally solve itself through
the law of supply and demand. Moth
ing short of that will answer the
problem before u.s."

Senator Hardwick in a speech Wig

where to be free, as the president
said in his message to congress. The
view of Senator Hardwick, expressed
in no uncertain language, was that

to fight to redress the grievances it
has itself suffered at the hands of
Germany in the murder of its citizens
and the destruction of its property.
