Washingtc Aug 10 Urging that
the senate expedite the ratification
of the treaty President Wilson today
opened a conference with members
of the foreign relations committee at
the White House by a long state
ment in which he said:
That the re-adjustment Of the ma
tional life to normal conditions de-
pends absolutely on getting the treaty
out of the way.
That until it is out of the way,
mines, factories and the business of
the country, both foreign and dOmes-
tic will be at a tremendous disadvan-
tage
That England and other countries
that have ratified the treaty will get
lead on the trade Of the world, be
cause Of the unsettled conditions in
this country as the outgrowth of de-
layed ratification.
That the only obstacle that ap-
pears to stand in the way of the i'm
mediate ratification of the peace
pact is a doubt as to the meaning of
certain provisions of the League of
Nations
That there is no doubt in the
minds of the men who wrote the
covenant that the so-called doubtful
provisions mean just what the sen
ate of the United States wants them
to mean.
The president discussed the effect
of the reservations of Article 10, the
Monroe doctrine withdrawal and do
mestic questions. He declared that
there can be no objection to passing
the resolution interpreting the Amer
ican viewpoint, but not as part o
the ratification which he said would
force America to go begging Ger
many to accept the American view
point.

Wheat Crop a Leader.

The wheat crop in Grady leads the
list this year, in acreage and in total
cash value. The farmers of the
county have harvested 10000
acres of wheat that is threshlng out
an average of Is bushels per acre
and at minimum of 81 per bushel,
the wheat crop alone is valued at
S2,700,00O In many places in the
county the yield is much greater,
some running as high as 40 bushels.
While the corn crop, not being
gathered, must be estimated as to
yield, the Indications are that 1t will
probably run second. There are 5O,-
600 acres of corn in Grady that, it
is believed will average 80 bushels
per acre
Down tho Washta valley, south OF
Chickasha and in the fertile creek
bottoms along that valley the corn is
rank and will, according to the esti-
mates of many growers, make 60
bushels per acre. North of Chicka-
sha, from line about four mile
north of the city and drawn east and
west across the county, to the Cana.
dian county line, the corn is not s.
good. Several rains fell over cen.
trail and southern Grady that did not
extend to the northern belt, thus cut
ting the yield somewhat in that sec
tion.
