Price Agreed Upon Refused in
Kingfisher and Kay,
ULTlMATuM THREATENED
Defense Council Head Urges
Drastic Action,

Threshermen In some Of the wheat
counties in the state have refused to
thresh wheat at the prices agreed on
at the conference held last Saturday
between farmers and threshermen ac-
cording to kilograms which have been
received by Judge {. b. Ames, state
food administrator.
At the conference the wheat farmers
and threshermen agreed that where the
farmer furnished everything but the
threshing outfit the price to be charged
for harvesting the crop was to be J
cents bushel Where the thresher-
men furnished everything the price
was to be II cents a buShcl.
Word from Kay county is that the
threshermen decline to abide by the
prices fixed Saturday and are holding
out for 20 cents. Threshermen in this
county in 1915 received 9 cents in
1910 they received 10 cents, and last
year they received IS cents.
A telegram received by Judge Ames
from Kingfisher county informed him
that six out of seven threshermen re-
fused to move their machines into the
fields. They ask for higher price.
J. NJ Aydelotte, chairman OF the
state council Of defense. is said to have
suggested that the county food admin
istrators give the thresbermen forty
eight hours in which TO move their
machines into the fields.

Germany to state her peace terms at

western offensive, to try to enforce
harsher terms on the allies. II my pri-

Burian's visit to Berlin was mostly de-
voted to this peace, its aims and prob

in the German capital seems to prove
he found the Germans obdurately obe-
dent to HindenburR's voice.
