tween the United States and Germany
will be resumed Immediately, Frank l..
Polk, under secretary Of state, SO an
nounced.
Mr.. Polk said blanket licenses would
be issued, but dyes, chemicals and pot
ash would be excepted. Control over
trade in these commodities will be ex-

A formal announcement regarding re-
sumption of trade relations was prom
ised within forty-eight hours.
Mr.. Polk made it clear that resump-
ton of trade relations with Germany
did not abrogate trading with the enc
my act, nor was it to be taken as
meaning that the state of war was at
an end.

war trade board, has previously an
nounced that all arrangements for re-
moving restrictions on trading with
Germany have been completed so far
as the American government is con-
cerned.
Action by the supreme economic
council in session at Paris, in lifting
the blockade alone is awaited.
Mr.. Mccormick, who returned from
Paris with President Wilson, said
there would be virtually complete free
dom of trade, subject to the limit of
credits which Germany might be able

Elevators for the Farm

The silo has been generally accept.
ed as a necessary adjunct to every
well managed farm, and no progress
sive farmer would think of doing
without one. Now comes a Mis-
souri, farmer with a farm grain
elevator, built at the same cost as
his silo and he says he would rather
do without the silo than without
the elevator.
For years A. C. Rust of Hardin
Mo, worried along with eranaries
for storing his grain He shoveled
the contents of the bins from one
end to the other when he had damp
grain that was inclined to heat, but
the idea didn't suit him very we'll
Damp grain worried him and he is
a man who doesn't believe in worry
Ing.
Also, he was troubled frequently
with lack of room when a big corn
crop was harvested and. since he
feeds every winter a good many
cattle. there was always the disad-
vantage of having to shovel grain
every time the cattle were fed
One day. however, he conceived
an idea that has done away with
all these inconvenience. Why not
farm elevator? The more he
thought of it the better it seemed
to him, so he wrote to Kansas State
Agricultural College and Missouri
College of Agriculture to see if they
could furnish him plans for practi-
cal farm elevator not too expensive
for the average farm.
They knew of no one with a farm
elevator and could give him no help,
but he didn't give up the idea. He
wrote to some of the firms manufac-
turing elevator machinery and they
cited him to one or two farmers in
Illinois who had elevators on their
farms. so Mr. Rust boarded a train
aud made a visit to these farms
He was disappointed with the ele-
vators, however, for none of them
had facilities for putting grain from
one bin to the other All they had
was wagon dump. which saved
the labor of shoveling grain from a
wagon into the bin.
He then undertook to devise an
elevator suited to his needs, and
worked out plans for what he has
named the Rust Farm Elevator"
However, he has no patents on
his plans and has nothing to sell
ana says any farmer wishing such
an elevator may visit his farm and
get the plans free if he wishes to
build one himself.
The walls of Mr.. Rust's elevator
are of glazed tile. The structure is
forty feet long. twenty feet wide and

Another Loan Probable

ton shows. Yet deficiencies, the
aggregate of which has not been de-
termined, will have to be met and
the various committees are prepar-

Representative Moore, Pennsyl

be to Cut-cut-cut, and even then
it would be impossible to pay all
debts without some changes in the
plan of financing
Majority leaders do not believe
the plan institutine an over the

That plan was understood to have
been decided upon by Secretary
Glass to avoid another popular loan
campaign.
Monthly disbursements by the
treasury have net fallen below 1885
million dollars at any time since
the signing of the armistice. Repre-
sentative Fess says.
Continuing Fess said: I can SEE

STANDS eighteen teet hlsht at the
caves. 1t has driveway, with a
dump for unloading grain and con-
tains ten bins for storing Grain. in
addition to an engine room below.
The engine room is a basement
on the same level as the bottom of
the dump. Low ground on the
south side of the structure permits
a IL rs farm tractor to be taken
into the engine room to run the ele-
vator.
Just above the engine room on
the ground floor are two large bins
with capacity of eighteenhundred
bushels each. Above the driveway
are seven small bins with capacity
of about three hundred bushels each,
and north of the driveway is large
bin with capacity of more than
six thousand bushels.
This large bin will not be needed
for threshed or shelled grains very
often, so Mr.. Rust has equipped it
so it will be possible to fill it with
either ear corn or silage.
1t is equipped with doors and a
chute for throwing silage down into
a wagon in the driveway. A door
is built into the roof for admitting
the spout of the silage cutter, and
the roof will be filled to the crest.
This will give the bin capacity of
one hundred and fifty tons of silaee.
Mr.. Rust feeds large number of
cattle, and makes silage a large
part of their ration. so he intends
to feed out the silage from this bin
in time to fill it with ear corn of
the latest husking 1t will hold
about three thousand bushels of
corn in the ear.
Each end of the building is circu-
lar, design which makes the large
bin better for silaee. The corners
where the partition meets the side
walls are rounded ou: with cement.
making it possible to pack silaee
into them tightly enough to prevent
decay.
Each bin has a spout opening in
to the dump of the elevator, making
it easily possible to run grain from
one bin to the other. A large teIes-
copic spout under the elevator head
reaches the bins. all of which con-
verge in the crest of the roof just
beneath the elevator head. If it is
desirable to mix grains spouts of
the bins containing the two grains
may be opened at the same time,
allowing them to run together into
the dump of the elevator and be
run into third bin.
The building cost between $1,10O
and ST 200. and the machinery and
equipment cost $400. This is practi-
cally the same as Mr.. Rust paid for
a 19x52 glazed tile silo which stands
near the elevator. The silo has a
capacity of about three hundred
tons, or only little over twice as
much as that of the part of the ele-
vatoT to be used for silage. Thus,
half of the cost of the elevator couic..
be charged up to silos. giving an
elevator with a large capacity at
half the cost of the elevator.
The elevator is so arranged that
it will be possible to place a tanning
mill under the head of the elevator.
running the grain into any bin and
blowing the chaff out the window.
A basement room near the engine
room has been fitted for a shelter,
and Mr.. Rust will later install this
and shell his own corn. He has a
grinder installed now. and grinds all
corn fed to steers.
