The work this year will be limited

of various branches OF the govern
ment that bear upon the subject II
funds admit this will be followed up
next year with a more extended in
vestigation in a number of localities
in the southern states. These inves-
legations should include an intensive
study of certain questions related to
the colonization and development of
cutover lands
There is a good deal OF general in

cutover lands and their possibilities
Scientists and economists apparently
agree that they are suitable chiefly
for three urposes-namely, live stock
raising, farming and demonstration. ac-

The studies referred to above should
result in assembling a mass of de-

tending from Virginia to Texas. in
which is situated the bulk of the pine

Chicago.-In a report issued here of
ficials of the Illinois department of ag
riculture declared that enormous guam
titles of meats, butter and eggs are

have grown in abnormal proportions
and that their release would go far to-
ward relieving the present shortage

Director Chambers, instead of as
merely sectional affairs. We want to
equalize port charges and rates, so far
as we can, so that the great produc-
ing sections of the country can get to
the seaport at the lowest possible
cost. We have had this matter under
consideration for some time and while
there are some minor difficulties in
the way, we believe that you are sub
stantially right in your contention that

TROOPS ENTER THE CAPITAL
Soldiers Returning From Czech Front
Flock Into Budapest-Boehm

Paris.-Bela Kun, head of the Hun
garian communist government, has
been ousted, according to dispatches
from reliable sources in Vienna, re
ceived by the peace conference.
Troops returned from the Czech
front were reported entering Budapest
in large numbers. Budapest is in dis
order.
Herr Boehm and Herr Lander have
| taken over control of the communist
government
Dispatches reaching peace confer
ence circles from Budapest indicate
that general decentralization has
struck Bella Kun's army, which is
struggling back from the different
fronts with utter lack of discipline
The breakdown in the spirit of the
troops is attributed to discrimination
OF the fighting against the Czechs and
the ROumanians in consequence of the
armistice and to the hasty increase of
the well drilled loyal army of $4,000
to more than $4,000 men.
Reports from the same source re-
ceived by peace delegates are to the
effect that Bolshevism in Hungary is
confined almost exclusively to Buda-
pest. Peasants are said to be OBJ
structing shipments of food to the
capital which is rapidly reaching a
desperate state.
Bella Kun was previously reported in
Budapest dispatch to have broken
off with nearly all the soviet leaders
Officers of the soviet army were said
to be deserving at every opportunity
The communist leader was quoted as
having told his minister of education
that he was tired of trying to ride So
cialist and communist horses at the
same time
Herr Boehm, who has been COM
mander of the Hungarian armies, was
reported in prison in a dispatch from
Vienna recently. This dispatch also
stated that Bella Kun was seeking some
excuse to leave Hungary and that he
would not return.
